Sisters

Michael Rittmannsberger
Austria

2010 | Digital | 0:06:00

A couple takes their two daughters to the sea. It is a day like any other, but one of the girls drowns.
The parents cannot stand the pain, while the other sister, who seems completely in shock, doesn’t
shed a single tear. She goes in search of her sister, her eyes reflect guilt, fear and loneliness. Michael
Rittmannsberger uses music and slow motion to increase the sense of vulnerability that the film conveys.

Milk for Lamps

Almagul Menlibayeva
Kazakhstan

2010 | Digital | 0:11:30


Life on the steppes of Kazakhstan is closely tied to the old gods of heaven and earth. The tent is round, the tables are round and so is the world. Today's Kazakhstan is home to remnants of Tengrism: the worship between the god of the sky Deity Tengri and his favourite wife Umai, the earth goddess. In this colourful report on steppe life, documentary and contemporary myth are intertwined.

A Film

Hisham Bizri
Lebanon, USA

2010 | Digital | 0:00:30


This is a film poem about love. A Lebanese-American filmmaker photographs a woman in Paris: as a trapeze artist, a model, a lover, and a child. The film attempts to capture that moment between wakefulness and dream. It carries within it melancholy and loneliness, sadness and joy, adulthood and childhood. It evolves out of the metaphor that life is a circular journey whose end is "to arrive where we started / And know that place for the first time" (T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding).

Back

Vincent Gisbert
Spain

2010 | Digital | 0:06:45


For them we are all the same, no differences. We act with complete conformity, renouncing individual liberty of choice. Without doubting in what we do we allow ourselves to be dragged along by the current. At times we feel the narrowing of our field of consciousness; It's time to make an escape.
