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.

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.

 
 

5 - 15 october 2017

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.
