Director: Nicolas Gebbe
Production: Nicolas Gebbe
When spending a lot of time at home in isolation, the walls begin to move. Spaces, conversations, visual impressions and sounds merge and make everything seem like a long dream. A 3D animated short film that distorts and captures the walls with the technique of photogrammetry.
Lenin’s Dream
Netherlands 2021, color, 9 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Boris Everts

A surrealistic video collage about the nightmares of Lenin and the socialist paradise collapsing. It presents a vivid and surprising imagery that activates the spectator’s mind to make their own logical story. The juxtaposition of clashing realities, such as striding flamingos and military parades, creates an atmosphere that is both ominous and lyrical.

Italy 2021, both, 8 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Giulia Magno
Production: Fulvio Paganin
Inspired by a famous exchange of letters between Michelangelo Antonini and Mark Rothko, the film explores the boundaries between subject and landscape, fiction and reality. Images shot in Italy and the Jordanian desert poetically merge with excerpts from Antonioni’s films, weaving together past and present.
SUPERIMPOSITION

Director: Sylvain Bes

A man is seated on the seafloor, bound. An encounter with a woman seems to inspire hope, yet the shackles of the past are strong.

Borers
China 2022, color, 4 min, OV, Engl. sub

In such an impetuous and fast-paced society, what will we become when we pick up the mobile phone, take it as our ears, nose, mouth and eyes, and accept the over packaged information?
