Corteza is the contemplation of a naked body, transformed by the
disease and the pass of years, that suggests old age as the transition
to another reality.
Lilia is 71 years old and Alzheimer’s disease has transformed her mind and body.
Her world is full of noises and whispers. Sometimes thoughts come out
from her mouth and reveal a disturbed reality.
Corteza is a short film that describes this woman’s bath routine.
Submerged in a bathtub, Lilia lets her body lie there, while an
imposing black woman is in charge of rinse her, rub her...accompany
her and contemplate her.
Arms, legs, skin, bones. This is the inventory of a body that consumes
itself. A body that inhabits another world and another time.

Peace and equality are poems expressing certain dreams of nations; but
the literature of peace and equality seekers hasn’t succeeded so far
and the situation is taking a turn for the worse. War, genocide,
discrimination and rape are becoming widespread and global. In the
past century, the accumulated time during which the world has been
pure of war has been less than an hour. And that is a fact we must
face. Why all this criticism and ado have been so futile and
fruitless? What is the problem of these self-proclaimed righteous
uprisings that they all tend to dry? A157 is a filmmaker look at three
pregnant girls recounting their stories of war, violence and sexist
conquest in a land where people have no more dreams…

November 24 - December 4, 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.
