                    Rare and unique cinematic observation by artist and award winning
                    filmmaker Natasha De Betak; She has been filming a Holy man Nagnath
                    Baba since last five years who has been on a hunger strike to save the
                    sacred river Ganga. Year after year, his body crumbles. He is haunted
                    by both dreams and nightmares. His sacred existence takes surreal
                    shape. Life continues to flow around his body; temple, prayers,
                    rituals… Then one day his hunger strike reaches climax and he dies.
                    Expressionism and poetry meet to create a sublime journey of an
                    unusual soul.

                    An early Autumn morning, a blind teenager is given her sight, among
                    fire and steaming pots. In order to maintain her newfound gift she has
                    to complete a mission: recognize her mother. She roams around
                    independent for the first time ever, playfully indulged in her private
                    discoveries, while her mother is silently waiting. An impressionist
                    tale discussing the strongest emotional bond, that of mother.

                    Unavoidable -video describes a symbolic way of adversities, which
                    we all meet with on the road of life. When an adversity is
                    unparalleled, such as death, we behave according to a certain formula:
                    first, we feel the bewilderment and fear, after that we begin to fight
                    and, finally, we have to approve the adversity I have taken to my
                    video elements from the medieval idea of dance with death, "dance
                    macabre"

                     Most of Us Don’t Live There is a memoir, both visually stunning and
                      heartbreakingly sincere; a young woman wanders the landscapes of her
                      childhood and explores a life coloured by bipolar depression. Set in
                      the powerful Canadian Rockies, the film draws a link between nature
                      and the human mind and calls for a re-visioning of what we understand
                      as mental illness.

                            Eine internationale Jury überschaut das Kurzfilmpanorama aus aller Welt. Das FISDN präferiert Filme, die gesellschaftlich sensible Themen in orgineller Weise thematisieren, Filme, die Ambiguität und Komplexität nicht scheuen, die zuweilen enigmatisch bleiben, so dass die Reflexion über sie nicht abbricht, aussergewohnliche Filme, die alle Fommen künstlerischen Ausdrucks nutzen und offen sind für ästhetische Innovation, kurz Filme, die die irritierende Fremdheit der gegenwätigen Welt im komplexer Weise darstellen.
