Realms
Valtakunnat

 

 


Patrik Söderlund

Finland
2019 | 0:20:28

A voyage through time, evolution and the kingdoms of life towards the natural destruction wrought upon the planet by the human species. Exploring geological epochs and kingdoms of life, Realms voyages through deep time from the primeval ocean to a post-human future. The film employs visual storytelling, seeking to replace the anthropocentric worldview with greater attention to the complex interrelationships and dependencies between organisms, and between animate and inanimate nature.

 

 

Pixelling Memory

 

FRENCH PREMIERE


Ravisankar Kerala Varma

India
2018 | 00:20:00

A self reflexice video essay in the form of video diary, which tries to archive different experiences of death and disappearance of people, through impressions of spaces forming a certain relation of signs which the filmmaker himself through ones own body and a scar in his own leg and through some personal photographs tries to retrieve through his own experience and fear of death. The narrative of this of the filmmaker's search eventually merges with a parable form.

 

 

Human Response

 

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE


Tal Ilan

Austria, France, Israel
2018 | 00:26:58

Goats bleating in the desert, an alpine ski resort, hotel corridors, and museums, juxtaposed with phone calls to psychological and psychiatric help and therapy hotlines, where the director does her best to be answered by a human.

 

 

Umbra

FRENCH PREMIERE


Florian Fischer, Johannes Krell

Germany
2019 | 00:20:00

The film deals with rare and common optical phenomena that occur in nature. These phenomena evoke familiar images such as shadows or reflections on a water surface; but also unusual ones like the “Brocken spectre” or the pinhole effect during a solar eclipse. These ancient and natural projections can be considered as pre-cultural and independent of any apparatus. They occurred even before mankind and are united by their intangible, ephemeral presence. In their immateriality and fragility, they are precursors of the cinema image. UMBRA develops a visual dialogue between phenomenon and apparatus, archetype and image, self and self-perception.

 



October 3 - 13, 2019

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.
