The Reflection of Power |

Mihai Grecu

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.

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.

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 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.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. The festival prefers film treating important subjects in an original way, films which don't avoid ambiguity and complexity, films, which are sometimes stay enigmatic, so that refection and mind are going on moving, exceptional films, which covers all kind of artistically expressions, films open for esthetical innovation, shortly films reflecting the perturbing strangeness of the modern world in a complex way.
