Cops & Robbers

Florian Maubach | Germany | 2017 | 9 min | DE

This suggestive and sensitive film shows a game of cops and robbers played by a group of youths. Daniel, the main protagonist of the film, immediately realizes that it’s not just an innocent children’s game. It is affected by strong emotions, first love, jealousy and the hierarchy within the group. And, as is confirmed by the film, there is a big difference between catching someone and being caught.

The Northeast Kingdom

Alan Jennings | United States | 2017 | 8 min

Several considerably small-minded colonists from New England get deeply agitated when an unknown man moves to their village. Their rituals and customs (or perhaps bad habits) are suddenly endangered and an unknown mystic creature infiltrates their lives… As proven by the film’s visual style, the creator of this black comedy studied experimental film.

Just Passing with Dr. Zussman

Anat Efrati, Yannay Matarasso | Israel | 2017 | 5 min | EN

This short film with a clever punch line was made by the Israeli duo Yannay Matarasso and Anat Efrati – both graduates of the renowned Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Their irony-filled black comedy is a fictitious episode from a mysterious talk show of the deceitful Dr. Zussman. Who will be his unfortunate guest and play a tragic part in order to entertain the audience?

Snow White Cologne

Amanda Eliasson | United Kingdom | 2017 | 7 min | EN

This emotional anidoc with elements of a visual poem is based on a true story. Its author, who tries to cope with her younger sister’s drug addiction in the film, is full of conflicting emotions – in particular love and loss. Each phase of the film is hand coloured with acrylic paint, which increases the intensity of its message.

Wandering Bondy

Veronika Zacharová | Czech Republic | 2017 | 3 min | CS

This short, playful and pleasantly stylised “study” is an interpretation of the thoughts of Egon Bondy – famous Czech poet, writer and in particular philosopher. The author is deliberately not trying to illustrate the commentary, but rather to accompany it with a visual form humorously filled with associations, metaphors and irony.

The Crack

Mika Koskinen | Finland | 2017 | 5 min

With melancholy and a dose of Northern dismalness, this graduate film of a Finnish author portrays the unstoppable flow of time. The film is set in a dreary winter and the author connects everydayness and dreams with man’s unachievable desire to pause certain moments in life and trick time, which sometimes flows too relentlessly.

A Daily Chat

Cheng-Hsu Chung | United Kingdom | 2017 | 6 min | EN

This bold and absurd film filled with bizarre eroticism was made by a young Taiwanese filmmaker who relocated to Great Britain to study animation. His film is based on a dialogue full of emotions and desires between two lovers on the gallows. But their dialogue, especially in combination with unexpected visuals, becomes more and more absurd.

Sea

Marharita Tsikanovich | Belarus, Czech Republic | 2017 | 4 min

This melancholic and strongly visual voyage of man in the sea of life uses only black and white. A figure is navigating through images and other images within images and the author, using only minimalist drawings, captivatingly portrays the fleeting nature of time, the boundaries of human freedom and the loneliness of a man as an individual.

Oh Mother!

Paulina Ziolkowska | Poland | 2017 | 13 min

In this artistically and narratively original film, the author remarkably portrays the dependent relationship between a mother and a son. Both protagonists of this relationship continuously interchange roles – one time, the mother is the intrepid protector, another time the son takes over responsibility and takes care of her. The author plays with her images much like her characters play with each other. But what will happen when the son decides to have an independent life?
