SHORT FILM PROGRAMME 1: Modern Life Maladies
20.15 - 21.50
Through a short film selection, this day's programme explores the complexities, and disconnections of modern-day life. Characters struggling with class and social status anxieties, the consequences of war and technology's impact, unfold through a series of thought-provoking shorts.
Seminal Animals, Karim Souissi, 30' - Morocco - 2022, Category: Best Drama ... In the near future, after a number of extremely violent sexual assaults, a new law is passed installing a curfew for women. One night, because she misses the last shuttle back home, Latifa, a single mother, ends up having to survive the harassment of gangs of ruthless teenagers roaming the desolate streets.
Lurker, Sebastian Sørensen, 8' - Denmark - 2023, Category: Best Danish Film ... A livestreamer ends up in a life-threatening situation when he realises that the creepy user in the chat, is now inside of his apartment.
Medicine, William Amos McKegg, 15' - New Zealand - 2023, Category: Best Drama ... When Marjorie and Jack offer their help to a passenger and things take an unexpected turn, one wonders who is actually helping who.
We Are Strange, Han Hoezen, 15' - New Zealand - 2023, Best Experimental ... A playful, sometimes wry and in the end dramatic sketch of us, humans (and other animals) seen 'through the eyes' of a newly made human in the womb: what kind of world will I live in and what will be my part? And what stage of evolution are we actually in?
In Between, Ilja Kislitsyn, 15' - Germany - 2024, Category: Best Drama, Best Student Film ... The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for over a year. The 21-year-old Ira, along with her mother, finds herself in a foreign Germany, cut off from her home, family, and friends, seeking solace. After many doubts, she resolves to breathe new life into her neglected passion for swimming. That leads to an encounter with an old friend with whom she openly discusses her struggles and thoughts for the first time. "In Between" explores the sentiments and the emotional state of refugees, providing an intimate glimpse into their lives.
The Ballad, Christofer Nilsson, 13' - France - 2023, Category: Best Short Film ... A fed-up delivery worker chooses a split-second act of rebellion - one that results in an awkward, spiralling dance between the classes of the 21st century.
