Hughie,a former alcoholic and long-time joker, has been living in a long-term homeless shelter in Belfast for 6 years. He is well-liked in the hostel. But when his daughter contacts him out of the blue and wants to see him for the first time in thirteen years the boundaries of Hughie's solid life begin to blur and the wounds of the past come back into sharp, painful focus. And when Hughie meets his granddaughter, who he never knew existed, he finds himself circling the contours of a life he thought lost, buried forever.

Since his mum put a disposable camera in his hands as a child, surf photographer Mickey Smith has spent his life on the unglamorous side of a slew of lenses. He has a rare talent: He transfers what his uniquely discriminating eyes perceive into images the rest of us can understand and appreciate.

Boredom creats its own dreams. Repetitions structure a place and let the constructions seem less substancial. The logic of the changements let things flowing without control and cause events of little destructions.

Sounds of slow traffic on a rainy street. A man in a cheap suit lies on the bed in a quiet apartment. Snakes entwine him, crawling in and out of his clothes.

October 5th to 16th 2012

We present film series focused on 16 different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
