Lina and Inès don't know each other but they have one thing in common: parkour. From roof to roof, from walls to barriers, the two teenagers scope each other out with mutual admiration. They try to get closer, yet because they can't be seen, they're continually interrupted.

A Free Run

Mira and Klodi, a young Albanian couple arrive in Marseille with a crucial mission. As they face a fateful appointment and a room full of waiting men, time is of the essence. As they confront the urgency of their choice, they must also confront the growing need to let go of each other.

A Short Trip

Vanina, a 39-year old flight attendant, works on a domestic route onboard a Boeing 737. She complains about her recently attached braces, in a late attempt for a perfect smile. What she really must do is confront her, since forever, absent mother, whose body lies in the cargo hold of the plane.

AirHostess-737

Asterión is a poem. It's a hymn to life and death, to the eternal struggle, to the inner need of change and transformation, but also it's a poem about the final death of a culture. It's the story of a double fate, the one of the man and the one of the bull, both doomed to succumb to their own restless natures.

Asterión

A wedding in Ghana, a trip across the sea, and a new home in Europe. Using both archival material and new images, Jonelle Twum takes us on a poetic journey where the silence tells of a woman’s life and dreams.

I Think of Silences When I Think of You

In Bogota, a bird-girl leaves behind the family home, her domineering mother and faithful dog to go and explore her sexuality.

La Perra

13 years after his civil service in a hospital in Thiès, Senegal, Paul challenges his memories and traumas. With old video footage, interviews and animations he questions his role as a volunteer within the German system of development aid.

Red Ears

In the “White Horse” café, waitress and guests apathetically go through their routines. Meanwhile, the reality surrounding them seems to destabilise more and more: between white noise and the sound of tuning forks, between daydreams of galloping knights and ever-growing mountains of drizzling packet sugar. Ivana Bošniak Volda and Thomas Johnson Volda pile up layers of these images and sounds, until they crack – and clear the way to breathe.

Remember How I Used to Ride a White Horse

Italy, December 1999. A father drives his son to a friend’s birthday party at a remote farmhouse. The child is anxious about talk of the so-called "Y2K bug". But it is the party itself that ends up malfunctioning, when the disturbing details of a family comes to light. A memory from childhood filmed like a giallo.
