Tarantula
Tomas Orrego • US 2023 • 3min • HDV • ND • Austrian Premiere
When hungry, the black gloved tarantula crawls out of its crypt to feed. The pale flesh of innocent bodies it takes into dark corners to ejaculate. Using hand processed 16mm black and white film and a dismantled soundtrack, the atmosphere of a lost artifact is evoked.
Writer, Producer Tomas Orrego Cast Natalie Peracchio
Ada Ardor: Dream Trance
Ada Ardor, Le Capucin • UK 2023 • 3min • MuVi • HDV • Austrian Premiere
A cat discovers it is not allowed anymore one morning. Posters with its own face banned are all over the town and on tv. As the cat sees a monkey putting one of the posters right on its window, the cat looks under a lid it sees on the monkey’s head, and goes on a colourful journey across the monkey’s inflamed subconscious, which sheds some light on its behaviour.

Useless Eaters
Ian Haig • AU 2022 • 2min • ND • HDV • Austrian Premiere
