Drowning manifests itself when a person reflexly stops breathing to prevent the liquid entering the lungs. This short experimental film explores the drowning body by putting it in relation to water as a dominant element.

 

An Infinite Loop for Resistance

An Infinite Loop for Resistance

 

 


Michael Wood

An avant-garde is a front line. This is a work for the regeneration of the avant-garde. This is a media-fashioned attack aimed at the disturbing omnipotence of hyperrealism and fascist banality - best symbolized by Donald Trump's burning latex effigy. This is a violent collage - shreds of simulacral tumult, a riot in media waste. Meant to be projected anywhere - as a call to arms, a way to incite, an attempt at shaking the normalization of bigotry and authoritarianism. This is a call to #Revolt more than #Resist. This is not for photo ops. Rather than bathe in the aesthetics of nothingness, it is time to wake up and fight the active evil that radiates from the seat of "power" and alters the real through mediated nihilism. Meant for guerrilla projections on urban landscapes, video loop displays, and theatrical projection.

FRENCH PREMIERE


Daniel McIntyre

Peeling back the shrouded image, Exhumation is a reanimation of long lost desire. A response to news of a celebrity paternity suit and the mythology adhered to it, Exhumation obsesses over buried memories to create one’s own monster from memory.

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE


Neli Ruzic

Croatia
2017 | 00:17:34

The experimental film NOWHERE poetically explores the personal experience of departure/return and rebuilding identities. Dramaturgy consists of two backbones - a scene portraying a sculpture "Before the dawn" by Neli Ruži? and the monument of Bogdan Bogdanovi? "The Guardian of Freedom", both of which were set up at the Klis fortress during the different moments in history, given up to entropy and social changes. The conditions in which these sculptures have been found activate the archeology of time, invisible and erased history. The film intends to use narration and visuals to depict the interweaving of personal, autobiographical and historical situations, individual and collective memories, but also the concept of identity as an unstable structure.

WORLD PREMIERE


Gustavo Fogel

On November 15, 2017, all contact with a submarine in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean was lost. He has 44 crew members on board. Your family and loved ones expect something new that never comes. The uncertainty is total and the rumors thousands. As individuals, each one transits this situation in a different way. This film emulates with a dream and imaginary vision what could happen through the mind of the father of one of the crew.

 



4 - 14 october 2018

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
