2014 | 00:40:00
In 4 August 2009, Batut was on a family trip in Kham, a Chinese province inhabited by Tibetans. By chance he was invited to attend a "heavenly funeral", where the corpse of the deceased is offered up to vultures. By beginning his film with images that he is reviewing on his editing table, he immediately establishes a device that constantly puts into perspective what he has seen, heard and filmed. He asks an exiled Tibetan to sit with him and describe the steps of this unforgettable experience of seeing.

September 15- 21, 2014
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.
