"EBC 5300m " is a film about the Everest Base Camp. The camp, set on a
glacier, is assembled and dismantled every year for a period of 2
months. Between guides, cooks, government officials and guests, it
houses a little bit less than 1,000 people. The film, throughs
ambiences, shows the life and organization in the camp, and exposes
the contrast between this ephemeral micro-city and the wild and
mystical environment in which it is located.
It purpose a reflection on the overcrowding of the most prestigious
and most widely summits and the emergence of extreme forms of
tourisms.

Peace and equality are poems expressing certain dreams of nations; but
the literature of peace and equality seekers hasn’t succeeded so far
and the situation is taking a turn for the worse. War, genocide,
discrimination and rape are becoming widespread and global. In the
past century, the accumulated time during which the world has been
pure of war has been less than an hour. And that is a fact we must
face. Why all this criticism and ado have been so futile and
fruitless? What is the problem of these self-proclaimed righteous
uprisings that they all tend to dry? A157 is a filmmaker look at three
pregnant girls recounting their stories of war, violence and sexist
conquest in a land where people have no more dreams…

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
