The Reflection of Power
The Reflection of Power


Mihai Grecu

France

2015 | 0:09:00

This film is a rare glimpse into one of the most secret places of the world, Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. Slowly, an unexpected natural phenomena devours this strange city. But the city's atmosphere of eternal celebration never changes no matter how obvious the nearing end is. The people keep absurdly demonstrating the same preset patriotic behaviour.

The Atom Station, a short film centred upon the industrial and natural landscape of Iceland; interfusing the cultural, economic and ecological forces that shape the island. From vaporous hot springs and lava fields to the peculiar structures of geothermal power stations, the film combines Iceland's dramatic and volatile terrain with two corresponding voice-overs from the past and present: poet W.H. Auden, reading ‘Journey to Iceland’ (1937), and environmental activist Ómar Ragnarsson.

Continental Drift


Nayeem Mahbub

Bangladesh, Belgium

2015 | 0:06:15

A man rages at memories of war, border crossings, beatings and asylum, at the hard years finding his place in a foreign land. He rages at the cosmic cruelty of having gone through all this for his loved ones, who died crossing the sea before they could join him.

Letters of War


Bruna Carvalho Almeida

Brasil

A crisis separates and unites two continents. Metropolis and colony, past and present, here and there changes in the speed of an exchange of letters. There is an old struggle that seems to not end, but you must resist!

The Exquisite Corpus
The Exquisite Corpus


Peter Tscherkassy

Austria

2015 | 0:19:00

The Exquisite Corpus begins with a search of a seashore. We glimpse a few actors from the prow of a small boat. Gradually what we are seeking is found, a sleeping beauty lies on the beach, right before our eyes. Suddenly and quite unexpectedly, we are drawn into her dream. It´s a highly ambiguous dream – sensuous, humorous, gruesome, and ecstatic – a broadly defined seduction lusting after a tangible, perceptible, exquisite physicality – including the body of the film.
