Thought Broadcasting is a film about psychosis and surveillance. A
composite of fact and fiction, the film draws upon real-life accounts
of a schizophrenic disorder: the belief that ones thoughts are being
transmitted and heard by others. Set against the proliferation of
mobile phone masts in the urban and rural landscape, the film reveals
a fragmented inner world of paranoid delusions and acute anxiety,
off-set by revelations of mass surveillance and data gathering by
government security agencies. Filming locations include a psychiatric
video recording studio, an abandoned broadcast television station, and
a military base used for mass communications monitoring and
interception.
Part clinical observation, part psychological horror, the film is
driven by a tense and dark electronic score by Lord Mongo, and
interweaves the flickering detritus of analogue tape, monitors and
studio cameras with layers of sampled archive voices; forming a
picture of a psychotic state of mind, entangled in an interconnected
world. |

The Centaur’s Nostalgia is a reflection on the gaucho tradition
narrated through the love story of an elderly couple who still lives
in the forgotten hills of Northern Argentina. Starting with a portrait
of their everyday life, the film immerses into their memories and
dreams to finally find the nostalgia of what it won’t be anymore: an
ancient way of human relationships, a way of living life, a world that
faces an end, like a fire that burns and slowly dies in front of us.

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.
