WAI by illbeso
Michelangelo De Cia, Giovanni Zanella • NL 2023 • 4min • ND • HDV
WAI, a cinematic journey by London’s Illbeso, invites viewers into a surreal dreamscape where industrial remnants transform into a pulsating realm of wonder. Within this abandoned setting, 3D and 2D animations converge, painting a vivid picture of a bizarre rave.
But ... you’re a Dolphin!
Sarah Turner • US 2024 • 4min • enOF • HDV
A Dolphin tells Sarah a secret of the Universe. Inspired by research by John C. Lilly.
Garboface
Zona Gilreath • US 2024 • 4min • enOF+enUT • HDV
Garboface is an experimental, sort-of-narrative film about, as Roland Barthes puts it, face-as-object and, as Plato definitely didn’t put it, identity as pharmakon – simultaneously cure and toxin. Shot on Super 8.
Spätsommer 91
Olaf Held • DE 2024 • 3min • deOF+enUT • HDV
Found Footage. When the salt ran out at a birthday party in 1991.
Manitulation
Astrid Busch • DE 2024 • 5min • ND • HDV
The specific manipulation of 35mm material creates a unique collage of scratched, cut and burnt images that have been treated with corrosive liquids, painted by hand and manipulated. In the magical chaos, an artificial intelligence partially explores and interprets the limits of the unpredictable and the destructive beauty.
The Professional
Le Professionnel • Faucon Victor • FR 2022 • 3min • frOF+enUT • HDV
Portrait of one of these workers who keep traffic moving in our cities.
Teeeeth
Fanfan Zhou • US 2023 • 1min • ND • HDV
Teeeeth is a short film shot on 16mm that examines the role of human teeth in the context of contemporary diets.
One With Nature
Erik Gen • US 2024 • 4min • enOF • HDV
An absurd yet realistic and dynamic documentary style short film. One that actually feels like it was filmed rather than being an animated slide show. The story of a small group of scientist and a camera crew investigating and documenting a strange symbiosis of humans and nature in a remote forest region. All assets including voices and sound have been AI generated.
Mama, das ist Punk
Mother this is Punk • Philipp Baumeister • DE 2024 • 7min • deOF+enUT • HDV
The band HANDSTAND BESOFFEN invites a bunch of (grand)parents to a trashy punk performance.
