APOLLO 11 ½

r. Olaf Held, 6´, 2017, OV (eng.) + AT + eST, Germany, documentary

Yes, we know about the photographs. Scientists took them while looking for the American flags which were planted on the moon during the six manned missions there. The shots show that five of them are still in the same place. Only the flag of Apollo 11 seems to have moved.

SIGISMOND IMAGELESS (Sigismond sans Images)

r. Albéric Aurtenèche, 14´, 2016, OV (fr.) + AT + eST, Canada

Sigismond Langlois is subjected to a psychiatric evaluation on account of his violent behaviour. He’s just turned 18, and he pretends he was born with no image. Throughout the interrogation, he recounts the peculiar existence of a young man who has never seen himself, neither in a reflection nor in a photo.

ETAGE X (Etage X)

r. Francy Fabritz, 14´, 2016, OV (ger.) + AT + eST, Germany

An accidental meeting in a department store lift pushes two older women to their limits and forces them to improvise when the lift gets stuck.

GREEN SCREEN GRINGO

r. Douwe Dijkstra, 16´, 2016, OV (port., eng.) + AT + eST, Netherlands, Brazil, documentary

Where the streets are a stage for politics, art and affection, a gringo can only watch. The result is a mix-tape portrait of modern-day Brazil seen through the eyes of a visitor.

FILM BEYONDER III

r. Pierre Feytis, 5´, 2016, OV (eng.) + AT + eST, France

Gog is an artist who hates the movies. One day, as he is vulgarly scratching his head, a neighbour notices a mysterious steel rod in Gog’s garden.

UNITED INTEREST (United Interest)

r. Tim Weimann, 9´, 2016, OV (eng.) + AT + eST, Germany

A cable-car ride through San Francisco in the early 20th century forms the background of a farewell to the alleged blessings of capitalism. The animated figures, placed on a black and white setting, portray the merciless financial markets and expose the perversion of eternal economic growth.
