In the not-so-distant future of 2084, Ángel finds himself trapped as a climate migrant in an unspecified smart city, under constant surveillance. Amidst a bleak and oppressive existence, Ángel makes a living by cultivating plants, preserving the fading wisdom of seeds. Within this desolate landscape, he crosses paths with Sofia, another climate migrant who works at a recycling facility. Ángel decides to communicate with her through the timeless medium of pen and paper, fostering an intimate, clandestine bond. As their secret correspondence unfolds, a friendship grows between Ángel and Sofia as does their desire for liberation from excessive control

SHORT FILM PROGRAMME 5: Threads of Connection
16:35 - 18:10
A Full Life, I Suppose., Alexandros Pissourios, 25' - Cyprus - 2023, Category: Best Short Documentary
A filmic portrait of the time shared between the filmmaker and his mother, Androulla. Combining new 16mm material shot during his recurring visits to Cyprus with Super 8mm footage shot by his father in the 1970s to chronicle the evolution of bodies and the desires that mark a life. Attempting to balance between observation and construction, the film captures dailiness and domesticity while transfiguring Androulla's body and inhabited space through close-ups, double exposures and time-lapses. As segments of conversations between filmmaker and mother about her life wander mostly sync-free over the images, encounters with light and darkness in the nooks and furnishings of her otherwise ordinary dwelling arouse a sense of unreality.
Kevin, Julian Rabus 10' - Germany - 2023, Category: Best Student Film
Rachel and Kevin meet at a park in Los Angeles where they not only talk about relationships but also try to enact specific couple situations
Banned Book Club, Sinead McHugh Keirans, 16' - United States - 2023, Category Best Short Documentary
A group of high school students fight to return banned books to classroom shelves in central Texas.
Tennis, Oranges, Sean Pecknold, 11' - United States - 2024, Category: Best Animated Film
A robotic vacuum suffering from burnout quits its job at a hospital and sets out to find community and a greater purpose on a quiet street where two lonely rabbits are stuck in perpetual loops
We're Too Good For This, Missy Malek, 11' - United Kingdom - 2023, Category: Best Short Film
A group of deaf and disabled friends decide to get into drug dealing as payback against a bully
The Livestock At The Manger, Julie Vanlerberghe, Breyten Van Der Donck, 14' - Belgium - 2023, Category: Best Comedy
A slice of life story about a Christmas Eve, set in the nineties. In the household of a Belgian family. Spoken in their strange dialect. Comical, but tragic if you ask the narrator.
