Civilisation II | Adam HARTNELL | GBR | 2025 | 7’25
The protagonist takes us on an abstract adventure, as if an explorer arriving somewhere unbeknownst, as wonders and pivotal moments from Western culture begin appear throughout, as he leads us as if in search of a fabled endpoint.
The Rabbit always Dies | Oona Taper | USA | 2025 | 8’50
An experimental documentary that reveals facts and fantasies of the history of pregnancy tests from the 1930s-60s which relied on the use of live frogs and rabbits.
SOLASTALGIA | Lucas Bambozzi | BRA | 2025 | 13’00
Solastalgia is an experimental short film that portrays landscapes eroded by iron mining extractivism in the surroundings of Belo Horizonte, and the increasing elimination of traditional ways of life in the name of an archaic and predatory notion of progress.
Ensemble ils dérivèrent | Yohan Chalier | FRA | 2025 | 5’57
The story of a boy who didn’t want to leave a trail.
Hugs & Kisses | Marc RICHTER | DEU | 2025 | 10’48
A film about men. And hugs. And kisses.
Marc Richter’s video works are highly influenced by the writings of Angela Carter (specifically “The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman”) hallucinating a world of human snails and snail-like humans, human mushrooms and mushrooms with human skin, hermaphrodites and men without genitals…..chimeric protagonists performing useless, pointless, sisyphean tasks – turning so-called artificial intelligence on its head.
