Aneta ‘rebelled to the max’ at the age of nineteen and wound up in prison for murder. Nine years later, her daily routine takes her from behind the walls of the prison to a care home for the elderly. One of the residents, Helena, has been ill ever since infancy. She is fascinated by the phenomenon which is Aneta. In her opinion, the young woman has everything she could want for. And so Helena, whose knowledge of the world has come “from the windows of hospitals and coaches”, avidly asks Aneta about her life. A test awaits Aneta… and help will come from Helena.

Three artists, three tragedies. The usual story told in a very unusual way. Photographer who is blind. Painter who was the title character of the Academy Award® winning film "Million Dollar Baby." Musician reinventing his future due to his hearing loss. Three artists, three tragedies. The usual story is told in a very unusual way in the upcoming documentary "SHOULDER THE LION." The film attempts to ask a seemingly banal question, what it takes for someone to keep on going, and uses unique film form to produce unexpected answers. The film takes viewers on a journey into the lives of these artists through haunting images that avoid prosaic documentation. Talking is largely eschewed in favor of long meaningful shots trying to put form to the indescribable, making for a rare film that is more an artwork in itself. The film asks serious questions about art, self-image, meaning of images and sound but leaves it to the audience to work through the answers.

November 26 - December 6, 2015

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.
