Arcadia (Poland) by Małgorzata Paszko
A documentary impression about the destructive human impact on nature, created with black and white images. There is only one sentence in the entire film: "Watch out".
Running time: 00:08:33
Mova Oborony (Ukraine) by Oleksandr Isaienko
Place of power. An audio-visual play with digital image manipulation that displays body movements amidst a nameless desert, accompanied by a constant rhythmic beat. The relationship of image and audio forms a composition between movements that are independent of one another—in the sense that they do not attempt to illustrate each other, but appear simultaneously adjacent, giving rise to both motor and sensory impressions.
Running time: 00:10:27
A Distant Figure (Germany) by Ramón Durman
An act of violence causes a deep rift between two colleagues who are forced to work together one last time.
Running time: 00:15:00
It's just a whole (Germany) by Bianca Scali
She knew this day would come and the choice she’d have to make. But as it finally comes, Maya cannot wrap her head around it. A mole - it’s so small, so insignificant, just a mark... How can it be so hard to part from it? Can Maya ever feel whole again when a bit of her is taken away?
Running time: 00:10:37
Ousmane (Canada) by Jorge Camarotti
At the end of a long workday, Ousmane, a Burkinabé immigrant living in Montreal, has his life take a turn when he meets an elderly disoriented neighbor.
Running time: 00:25:09
