Tarzan, Jane, gorillas and lions are illustrating Wittgenste'sin, Deleuze's and Slavoj Zizek’s philosophical considerations. A fast-paced, heart-pounding cinephilic farce.

Rise (Rise)

Visca Vichit-Vadakan

Thailand

2010 | HD | 0:08:00

Listen with your eyes shut and you hear a story about parents and their child. Look with your ears shut and you see a street artist. Yet there is a link. A film on two tracks. The visual track shows a young performance artist. On a street in the middle of Bangkok, he paints with his body as a brush and his white clothes as a canvas. The soundtrack is about the relationship between parents and their child. Told intimately.

Diary of the End (Journal del Fin)

Juan Alejandro Ramirez

Germany, Peru

2009 | Beta | 0:24:00

 

A woman facing a bleak future recounts her life in sketchy, seemingly random, episodes. One by one the scars and despair left by a life ridden with responsibilities and sacrifice, but little joy, inevitably emerge. Diario del fin is a visceral and moving account filled with brutally honest, yet liberating, confessions.
