Sogni al Campo
Directed by Magda Guidi, Mara Cerri
A boy looks for his cat along a river. He will not find it. He’s about to die, and has moved away from everything to find intimacy. The child arrives at the doors of time, where the dead disappear, and the living let them go. The child is afraid, he enters a forest of symbols and memories. He grows up. His illusions of children dissolve and mingle with the landscape.
Whistle and I’ll Come to You
What is a dog? Loyal, obedient, submissive, owned. Or violent, instinctual, vigilant and wild. Whatever it is, it’s waiting.
Souvenir Souvenir
Directed by Bastien Dubois
For ten years, I’ve pretended to make a movie out of my grandfather’s Algerian war souvenirs. Today, I’m not sure I want to hear what he has to say.
Difference and Repetition and Coffee
Directed by Masa Kudo
A swinging animation drawn with a pencil. It shows view of inside a coffee shop by panning the camera. The little difference is repeated by rotation, and the inside of the store changes as if you are looking at the car window.
To the Dusty Sea
Directed by Héloïse Ferlay
Left alone in the deepest of the summer, Malo and Zoe are trying their best to catch their mother’s elusive eye…
Easter Eggs
Directed by Nicolas Keppens
The Chinese restaurant is empty. The exotic bird’s cage stands wide open. Two friends, Jason and Kevin, see this as an opportunity to catch and sell them. Catching the birds ain’t as simple as it seems.
