Jardins Paradise
Yza Nouiga • CAN 2021 • 6' • DCP • no dialogue
Garden of Eden, jardin à la française, English, Zen, Bahai, Arab-Islamic: Gardens reflect history, culture and heritage. They are some of the rare places where intimacy, gatherings, fun and religion coexist. Jardins Paradise ironically diverts the image of the garden as the embodiment of some paradisiacal Eden.

Our Mine
Shayna Strype • US 2021 • 10' • DCP • enOF+enUT
In a handcrafted world where nature exists in harmony, a handful of greedy businessmen exploit a mountain’s riches. The female body becomes both landscape and characters in an exploration of what happens when Man considers himself separate from Nature. This ecofeminist tragicomedy blurs the line between fable and reality.

Si las vides lloran (While the Vines Weep)
Laura Moreno Bueno • ESP 2021 • 6' • DCP • no dialogue
While the Vines Weep explores the emotions that emanate from crying. A sensory journey through the corporeality of two women who are one. Is it possible to reach ecstasy through movement? The filmmaker explores the duality of feelings and let the bodies speak to each other and express what words cannot.

How I Choose to Spend the Remainder of my Birthing Years
Sarah Lasley • US 2021 • 6' • DCP • enOF
Blending personal narrative with shared pop cultural experience, the artist manifests a longheld childhood fantasy set within the love scene from „Dirty Dancing“ (1987). The film juxtaposes pre-pubescent sexual desire with that of a woman descending her sexual peak.
Director Sarah Lasley
Pata y Muslo (Thigh and Drumstick)
Jennifer Moule • ARG 2021 • 8' • DCP • esOF+enUT
On an astro pitch in Buenos Aires two teams embark on a surreal contest. A satirical reimagining of a football match, that turns into a dance, a seduction of the camera and finally, a Gatsby tea party, while the soundtrack explodes with free jazz.

Leave Your Body
Natasha Cantwell • AU 2021 • 4' • DCP • no dialogue
Shot within the constraints of Melbourne’s ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns, LEAVE YOUR BODY features the apartment where the filmmaker spent the better part of 2020 and 2021. However, where she sees a prison, her partner Sean sees a sanctuary. To him these five rooms are a fortress, not only protecting them from the virus, but also from the social pressure to interact with strangers. Portraying a fictitious version of himself defends his solitude while quietly losing touch with reality.
Director Natasha Cantwell • Cast Sean Molloy
