Natasha De Betak has been filming a Holy man Nagnath Baba since last five years who has been on a hunger strike to save the sacred river Ganga. Year after year, his body crumbles. He is haunted by both dreams and nightmares. His sacred existence takes surreal shape. Life continues to flow around his body; temple, prayers, rituals… Then one day his hunger strike reaches climax and he dies. Expressionism and poetry meet to create a sublime journey of an unusual soul.

/Most of Us Don’t Live There is a memoir, both visually stunning and heartbreakingly sincere; a young woman wanders the landscapes of her childhood and explores a life coloured by bipolar depression. Set in the powerful Canadian Rockies, the film draws a link between nature and the human mind and calls for a re-visioning of what we understand as mental illness.

/Louis Henderson analyses the lingering racial violence in the United States by drawing on the recent murders of Mike Brown and Kajieme Powell by the police. To try and chart its genealogy and describe its development, the director uses the notion of “code” and its polysemic dimension. Denoting both a legal decree and an algorithmic rule, the code is seen as underpinning necropolitical power. Henderson’s discourse hinges on the articulation, embedding and superposition of disparate images and sounds taken from the Internet in order to propose a critical perspective of Afro-American history. The only moment of hope is the repetition of the beginning of Humberto Solás’ Simparele (1974), where singer Martha Jean-Claude calls on the pride and independence of the Haitian people… (Jessica Macor)

August 29 - September 3, 2016
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.
