"EBC 5300m " is a film about the Everest Base Camp. The camp, set on a
glacier, is assembled and dismantled every year for a period of 2
months. Between guides, cooks, government officials and guests, it
houses a little bit less than 1,000 people. The film, throughs
ambiences, shows the life and organization in the camp, and exposes
the contrast between this ephemeral micro-city and the wild and
mystical environment in which it is located.
It purpose a reflection on the overcrowding of the most prestigious
and most widely summits and the emergence of extreme forms of
tourisms. |

Cause of Death : Unknown |

Anniken Hoel
Norway
2017 /1:27:00
After her sister died suddenly and unexpectedly while being treated
with prescription antipsychotics, director Anniken Hoel begins a
global investigation into the crimes of the pharmaceutical industry,
the unheralded growth of psychiatric diagnoses and medication, and the
corruption of the government regulatory agencies that have failed,
repeatedly, to protect us. Made over a ten-year period, the film is
simultaneously personal and investigative as it follows Anniken as she
seeks answers regarding not only the death of her sister, but of the
tens of thousands worldwide who have also met a similar fate. Deaths
and damages that until now have been all but ignored. Beginning in a
small town in Norway, and journeying through Scandinavia, the EU and
the US, the chilling documentary-thriller CAUSE OF DEATH: UNKNOWN
exposes the inner workings and motivations of a powerful industry that
continually puts profits before people, and has been far too
influential in defining who is normal and who is "ill". |

November 23 - December 3, 2017
An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
