Plasma Vista allowed us to explore themes of economics, production,
creativity and collaboration. Objects and devices become bodily and
manipulative. The magician is a composed cartoon machine repeating
tricks and equations. When products become prosthetics does the
accessory take some emotional control? A creative trance. A
collaborative force. A playful duplication of the self with greater
consequence that first suspected. A filmic exhibit and retail site
that morphed into an experimental piece of moving image occupying the
dual space between utility and art.

2015 | 0:35:00 Docudrama based on Joris Luyendijk's Banking Blog in The Guardian
about the financial heart of London. We follow ten different
characters through the financial world in London, whose monologues are
embodied through dance. The characters create a chain reaction

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. The festival prefers film treating important subjects in an original way, films which don't avoid ambiguity and complexity, films, which are sometimes stay enigmatic, so that refection and mind are going on moving, exceptional films, which covers all kind of artistically expressions, films open for esthetical innovation, shortly films reflecting the perturbing strangeness of the modern world in a complex way.
