"La Mer" is an abstract fairytale, made "Nouvelle Vague" - style. It tells the story of a woman, whose origin is not clear, as she is an entity caught between divinity and features linked to mortals. She possesses an abundance of Love, Longing and an Affinity towards Beauty, which can not be satisfied by the offers of the "earthly" life. She experiences an intense melancholy by striving towards unearthliness and is thereby forced to search for "that special something" to soothe it... |

There dwells a crab inside me. He must be abiding in a remote cave yonder. Yet everytime I hold my breath, i can feel him. And i know that he shall always stay there. The moon beams that flirt with the dark yet glittering waves bring about a weid impact on me. A stagnant stimulation,an overwhelming silence and a fatal enthusiasm for being alive. Everything comes up in pitch black colour on a prime of summer. And the crab in me is restless also. Stumbling in its hermitage as though reluctant to never set an eye on sunlight again. All i know is that he is there and will remain so as long i exist. Nowhere to flee away for me.

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.
