Rabbit's Blood

Sarina Nihei | United Kingdom, Japan | 2017 | 5 min

In her films, the Japanese author who studied at the British Royal College of Art combines the Asian approach with the European one. In this absurd film, a girl loses something and then meets a rabbit and finds herself in a sort of repetitive narrative loop which gradually reveals a strange and morbid device. But the most unfortunate roles in the film are played by the rabbits themselves.

Nothing Happens

Uri Kranot, Michelle Kranot | Denmark | 2017 | 12 min

Nothing Happens is a dismal film in which the authors skilfully play with the spectators’ expectations. A group of people meet behind a city and wait for a “spectacle” that is about to happen on the horizon. The weather is cold and unwelcoming and the suspense is becoming palpable… but nothing is happening. The film explores spectatorship – what it’s like to watch and what it’s like being watched.
