"Haunted Hoa Lo" is a landscape documentary about psychic phenomena and global capitalism at the site of Hanoi’s infamous Hoa Lo prison. Using spectral 16mm images and interviews with famous spirit mediums, government officials, and corporate employees, the film unearths ghostly encounters to explore multiple perspectives on the colonization and occupation of a single piece of haunted land in Vietnam.

Psychic Driving deals with experiments on unwitting subjects involving hallucinogenic drugs and massive doses of electroshock. The psychiatrist in charge treated patients in three stages – sleep therapy, psychic driving, and de-patterning – to destroy depressed personalities and then build them back up again. The source material is a VHS tape recorded from a 1979 television broadcast.

Tehran, June 2013. The Iranians are preparing to elect the new President of the Islamic Republic. Massed in front of their TV, they comment the presidential campaign broadcast by national channels : the jokes that accompany the parade of candidates betray the spectator's disappointment. After the 2009 riots, the Iranian people there still believe in politics? In the privacy of their homes, facing the images relayed by satellite feed, state propaganda, images of the West, Egypt or Syria, women and men freely talk about their hopes, their anger and their fears.

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.
