This is not a movie. This is a cry.
How we are, why we act like this. Is there any hope left?

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, élodie turned her
suffering and fears into a creative fight against the disease and the
debilitating effects of the treatments used. Her latest work,
Iridescence, is the personal story of her fight with cancer and the
way she found to deal with the disease in a creative and hopeful
manner. It's also a way of giving back and handing on the positive
vibes that she's received from friends, family and strangers during
the course of her disease.
‘There are many of us (patients, friends or family) fighting cancer
with creativity. Composing, drawing, painting, writing, body art-ing
etc., to prevent it from stealing our souls. So let’s share ideas and
creations in order to inspire people around us, who in turn will
inspire others.

No Rest for the Restless

No Rest for the Restless” is a story drawn from my impressions of our
hallucinatory world. A subconscious response to the recognition that
we are in the midst of the "Anthropocene period" and the "Holocene
extinction." An tumultuous age in which this planet is being
transformed into something we may, or may not yet imagine.

The found-footage film „Jamais-vu“ shows archetypical situations
which, in this new montage, are perceived as different and strange.
This panorama presents a gamut of emotional sensory impressions
focussing on cinema as the means of expressing the condition of a
culture. All about heart, skin and brains, eyes and genitalia,
consciousness and sub-consciousness, in short, all about cinemastory –
cinema stories: or, all about life, from birth to death.

A poetic journey into the mind of a woman artist in Iran who is
creatively blocked and can not finish her next film. The borders of
reality and her dreams has faded away as she tries to cling to
something in her isolation. Her gender seems the main obstacle she is
facing. The only solution she finds is to let go her past, but in the
most poetic way as her hair becomes the metaphor of her freedom

The Other

The Other is an experimental short, looking at the loss of a single
woman as a metaphor for the ways in which women in general are erased
or lost from society. The first half of the film is narrated from the
woman’s point of view, after she has already died; the second half is
from a man’s who is still alive and mourning her. I wanted to show in
as deeply personal and poetic a way as I could how both men and women
- all of us - suffer when the female half of humanity suffers. |

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.
