The roving Gritt (Birgitte Larsen) fights the exhausting battle of
establishing her ideas into practice as a autodidact performing artist
arriving the capital of the self acclaimed winners of the world
lottery. We follow her during her first weeks in Oslo, and through a
philosophical but rather dissociative voice we find a person with a
huge gap between her inner and outer world.
Retrett deals with alienation, dignety and courage of dreams, in a
poetic and humerous way.

An Instant in the universe: a few seconds above in space, a few
minutes here below for a man, and how much for the plant staring at
him… Little by little, these three journeys overlap, fuse with one
another and plunge into the heart of matter.

The Nest is a Cathy Come Home story for Generation Rent; a warning
tale of how quickly social harmony can break down when people are
pushed out to the sidelines.
A single-mum family are driven to extreme behaviour when they are
evicted from the house they live in illegally and replaced with
second-generation immigrants.

First in first out (FIFO) is a shelving technique used in
supermarkets. Stephan must place the freshest products behind the
oldest ones. Products nearing their sell-by date must be destroyed.
When going to the bins in the basement, Stephan will have to face
those who could still benefit from them, but who are excluded by the
system. He will also have to confront who he was before getting a job.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. The festival prefers film treating important subjects in an original way, films which don't avoid ambiguity and complexity, films, which are sometimes stay enigmatic, so that refection and mind are going on moving, exceptional films, which covers all kind of artistically expressions, films open for esthetical innovation, shortly films reflecting the perturbing strangeness of the modern world in a complex way.
