Showing in this program
Alpapuyo
Pieces come together and create three masks, one made of stone, the other made of wood, and the last one made of plastic. They are three humans waking up in a land of fantasy. Surrounded by rocks, one of them finds itself with someone who is identical to itself. The second one, as part of a ritual, decides to throw itself into the void. The third one dances in a mirror hall until its own shape becomes too much to bear. In each moment of crisis, a cloud reaches every character, covers them in smoke, and disarms their masks.
Bardo
A woman questions her lifestyle choices when the travails of urban living are one day jolted into juxtaposition with a simpler way of life.
Boxbalet
One day, a delicate ballerina named Olya meets the rough, surly boxer Evgeny. The contrast between their worlds and their philosophies is so sharp that even the possibility of these two characters crossing paths seems incredible.
Five Minutes Older
A day in the life of two twin sisters who take a trip to spend a lazy summer evening together by the lake. Their bond is so close that there is no telling where one ends and the other begins… each verges on being both the greatest blessing and saddest burden for the other.
In Nature
In nature, a couple is a male and a female. Well, not always! A couple is also a female and a female. Or a male and a male. You may not be aware of it, but homosexuality isn't just a human story.
kai – A little too much
In an imaginary space a woman let go of herself and overcomes fearing her own greatness. She discovers her body, she embraces her emotions, and learns to own all the parts that make her HER.
Space
Personal space plays an important role in a relationship.
Sweet Nothing
One hot summer afternoon, Rosa is sunbathing in her garden, when suddenly her peace and quiet is cut short by the sound of a lawnmower. The gardener is out working next door, and Rosa is watching, increasingly intoxicated by the tender way he handles the garden's flowers.
Vadim on a Walk
Finally, Vadim goes out of a tight square space where he has been used to sitting. He embraces the brave new world and his renewed life.
White Shadow
In this speculative fiction, all the world’s photographs have suddenly turned into the objects they represent. The video depicts a vertiginous architecture, so devastating that it created new uncontrollable borders and isolated people. Piles of selfies, cats, and meals are scattered everywhere. Text messages evoke a new society living with limitations and suffering from media saturation, sensory overload, and crushing ecological impact. A world where images have taken over, invading and transforming space. They become the only reality that is still visible, as the whole world is turning inwards.
