Calais, the compulsory transit point for all refugees wishing to get to England, is a real hell. Between the waiting time spent in the miserable slums of a camp and the dangerous attempts to clandes- tinely cross the Channel aboard a lorry, questions arise in the mind of a young Sudanese. After having lived a long time in the “Jungle”, he reflects bitterly on his dreams.

Country clubbers, workers, lovers, rivals, gods, ghosts, Hollywood retirees, Native Americans, Hispanics, whites, the fleeting and the eternal, the deep and the dead, the people behind the gates, all mix up in this chronicle of a dying American joy. Using modern-day characters to illuminate an infamous 1908 manhunt for Willie Boy, a Native American who outran a mounted posse on foot across 500 miles of desert in the Coachella Valley, Pow Wow presents individuals that have, in many ways, utilized the desert to survive and run free.

October 1 - 9, 2016
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.
