Sylvain's Hunt | Theo Cohn | USA | 9'

Sylvain’s Hunt is a surreal depiction of something familiar. Miniatures, prosthetics, sightless driving mountain shots, puppets, gore effects, all serve to make a traditional Son and Father rite-of-passage hunting trip into an uncanny vision of maturation and masculinity.

 

 

 


My First Apocalypse | LoTA Gandra | PRT | 21'

A reporting team accompanies a group of teenagers who are developing an artistic project with a theater company. The end of the world is the central theme. Research and reflections are being documented. But between theory and practice, extraordinary events emerge that project viewers and the entire team into alternative apocalyptic realities.
Somewhere between the mockumentary, a music video clip and a disaster film, “My First Apocalypse” evokes, at times with humor, fears and fantasies as disturbing as they are familiar.

 

 

 

Pressure Drop | Andreas Elsener | CHE | 18'

Robert Haller is a celebrated although very controversial author. He walks out of a TV talkshow by literary critic Sascha Bachmann and retreats to his holiday cottage in the Swiss mountain area. There he slowly begins to lose his mind as past and present, reality and fiction are beginning to blend.

 

 

 

 

Inherent | Nicolai G.H. Johansen | DNK | 16'

The Embrace | Gabriel Motta | HUN | 17'

A father takes his son on a deer hunt, in the attempt to recconect with the boy. However, their intrusion disturbs the balance of the forest, and awakens its female spirit.

 

 

 


Kraken |
Lucie Rico, Pauline Dalifard | FRA | 14’

A bed sheet devouring bodies, a radio contaminating minds or a chicken refusing to be butchered... 

 

 

 


Them | Óscar Romero Barrero, Néstor López Ferreira | ESP | 9’

Irene and Sergio come home angry after spending the night out. They both get into a shouting match. Suddenly, they are interrupted by the sound of their door opening. Does anyone else have keys to your house? No, just them.
