ITALIAN PREMIERE


Werner Biedermann

Germany
2016 / 0:04:00

The found-footage film „Jamais-vu“ shows archetypical situations which, in this new montage, are perceived as different and strange. This panorama presents a gamut of emotional sensory impressions focussing on cinema as the means of expressing the condition of a culture. All about heart, skin and brains, eyes and genitalia, consciousness and sub-consciousness, in short, all about cinemastory – cinema stories: or, all about life, from birth to death.

In the 1990s, the village was frequented by traveling players. He saw the first opera in his life, and was attracted by a female role in the play. Later, he found that the female role was played by a handsome young man. However, he remained experiencing maternal care in the performer.

The Other
 

The other

ITALIAN PREMIERE


Will Sankhla

India
2016 / 0:11:00

The Other is an experimental short, looking at the loss of a single woman as a metaphor for the ways in which women in general are erased or lost from society. The first half of the film is narrated from the woman’s point of view, after she has already died; the second half is from a man’s who is still alive and mourning her. I wanted to show in as deeply personal and poetic a way as I could how both men and women—all of us—suffer when the female half of humanity suffers.

The daily light is often too bright and unbearable. But the sun disappears quite quickly. And then a blue darkness caresses your tired eyes., when the restless memory of ancient stones makes the silence sound even louder. Are you sure that you really want to go back?









 
 
A Careful Resurrection
 

A Careful

ITALIAN PREMIERE


Jeannette Louie

USA
2016 / 0:08:30

Sometimes the everyday is overshadowed by a feeling of disquiet. Tucked into the synaptic forests of our minds are memories that have never been properly encoded. They lurk in the cognitive purgatory of consciousness and oftentimes, appear alongside ordinary recollections. A Careful Resurrection begins with a typical narration but slowly evolves into a disconcerting monologue.
