A radiant, energetic girl is shouting and punching an unseen enemy in the empty space in front of her. She is roughly cut out from her surroundings by a computer algorithm struggling to contain her.

Elle pis son char
Woman and her Car
A woman and her car


Loïc Darses

On 31 December 2003, Lucie Tremblay decided to write to the man who abused her between ages eight and twelve. She is determined to personally deliver the letter. She films her journey to gain closure for the trauma that has haunted her whole life. When her son finds the footage well over a decade later, he decides to turn it into a film: A Woman and her Car. An intimate homage to the courage of an exceptional woman who decided to stand up for herself and a savage condemnation of the bastards who abuse the innocence of others and think they can get away with it.

Hounds
Hounds


Omer Tobi

Israel

2016 | 0:30:00


For sixteen years Iris Kadosh has been the keeper of the museum’s exhibits, with much dedication and no complaints. One day she arrives to work to find out that the museum’s operational manager has left and she will be taking her place. The good news is tainted by Iris’ involvement in an accident, one that causes the museum to shut down and brings about an investigation. Iris must work her way through the ever growing anxiety she feels and the colorful and crude ensemble of workers that hover around her. She must face dark questions on ethics, good vs. bad, and decide how far she will go in order to keep the great position she was offered just that morning. The tragic and amusing dynamics between the museum’s employees creates an opera of marginal and rejected characters searching for any shred of respect from the world.

Plasma Vista
Plasma Vista

Plasma Vista allowed us to explore themes of economics, production, creativity and collaboration. Objects and devices become bodily and manipulative. The magician is a composed cartoon machine repeating tricks and equations. When products become prosthetics does the accessory take some emotional control? A creative trance. A collaborative force. A playful duplication of the self with greater consequence that first suspected. A filmic exhibit and retail site that morphed into an experimental piece of moving image occupying the dual space between utility and art.

INTERNATIONAL PREMiERE
 

 


24 Novembre - 4 December 2016

Les courts métrages venant du monde entier seront évalués par un jury international. Le festival sélectionnera des films qui traitent d'un sujet important d’une manière originale : des films souvent ambigus, complexes, énigmatiques, et qui invitent à la réflexion ; ces films exceptionnels , d’une esthétique nouvelle , nous font percevoir l’inquiétante étrangeté du monde moderne.
