A post-apocalyptic narrative, based on the poetry of Vincent Tholomé
and Maja Jantar, where words and sounds form an exploded narrative of
images, incantations, breaths and currents that interact to create a
volatile story.

A foggy park. A homeless man is asleep between the trees. A woman disappears.
Inexplicable things happen. The sky is dark with a large and
threatening flock of crows. Every now and then a crow is shot. As a
deterrent and to regulate numbers. But after every shot, more crows
rally. They caw as they circle in the sky, coming closer and closer...
The filmmaker takes a documentary approach to what happens in the
park, condensing and accentuating it to the point of the fantastical.
The film thus increasingly becomes an atmospheric report on the
peripheral areas of human certainty, a poetic approach to human
vulnerability and the anxieties related to it.

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.
