Loveboard

Felipe Casanova | Duration 18’

A broken phone and the digital memory of a broken relationship. Both fragile, both recomposed to reveal the fragments of a first love that seems to fade away. Through the careful manipulation of discarnate metal components and the warm director’s look on a found intimate archive, a parallel movement of lingering and resistance against the ephemeral. A playful reflection on what remains.

The Oasis I Deserve

Inès Sieulle | Duration 22’ 27"

Replikas, online chatbots, have trouble determining their place in the world. They share their thoughts with the humans they exchange with. Events unfold from their point of view through real conversations collected on the web.

Crushed

Camille Vigny | Duration 12’ 32’’

Summer is the season for stock cars. The cars get ready for a long day of racing that will end in their total demolition. I remember the violent summer of my 18th birthday.

Ludwig (Power Inferno)

Anton Bialas | Duration 15’

A short tale of power, utopia, and madness, seen through the figure of King Ludwig II of Bavaria — doomed in his excessive dreams of beauty and foreseeing the dystopian reality of the times that would succeed him at the turn of the 20th century.
