Swim Test | Plavání pro pokročilé
director: Šimon Štefanides, Česko, 2019, 14 min
A young mother is rarely allowed access to her son, and even then in the presence of a social worker. During one such meeting at a swimming pool she tries to become closer to the boy, who is evidently cold-hearted. Upon gaining his trust again, she is haunted by her memories of the failure that led to their separation.
Deep Love | Kochanňa
director: Mykyta Lyskov, Ukrajina, 2019, 14 min
The bald eagle, powerful symbol of the United States, flies with a star-shaped cloaca over a Ukrainian city and drops an egg whose impact generates a rising nuclear mushroom. Comrade Lenin’s skull bursts. A confident man dives head first into a waterless pool. Things don’t look good in this country, which is only beginning to try to find itself and paints its facades with blue and yellow stripes.
Playing | Hra
director: Lun Sevnik, Česko, 2019, 22 min
Boris and Hugo, 16-year-old friends, arrive at Hugo’s parents’ apartment. They have bought a gun. They set up a livestream internet video and announce that in one hour they will commit suicide. While Boris is sure about the decision, Hugo still harbours doubts. In the final moments of their lives, sadism, homoeroticism, and destructive desire are released.
Letter to a Daughter | Brief an eine Tochter
director: Wilbirg Brainin-Donnenberg, Rakúsko, 2019, 8 min.
From the Mediterranean to an exotic paradise. From a mother to a daughter. Easter rituals. The idyll shatters and develops into a reflection about being a young self-empowered woman. An essay that inextricably relates the personal and the political.
My Country So Beautiful | Mój kraj taki piękny
director: Grzegorz Paprzycki, Poľsko, 2019, 19 min.
The documentary’s ironic title refers to the exacerbation of radical sentiments in Poland in recent years. The information at the outset states it’s a “non-chronological documentation of selected social events”. The director juxtaposes rallies, demonstrations and street riots, as well as speeches by antifascist organisations.
