Shooting Crows

 

 


Christine Hürzeler

Switzerland
2018 | 00:20:00

A foggy park. A homeless man is asleep between the trees. A woman disappears. Inexplicable things happen. The sky is dark with a large and threatening flock of crows. Every now and then a crow is shot. As a deterrent and to regulate numbers. But after every shot, more crows rally. They caw as they circle in the sky, coming closer and closer... The filmmaker takes a documentary approach to what happens in the park, condensing and accentuating it to the point of the fantastical. The film thus increasingly becomes an atmospheric report on the peripheral areas of human certainty, a poetic approach to human vulnerability and the anxieties related to it.

Enea Zucchetti

Ulaanbaatarization
Ulaanbaatarjilt

FRENCH PREMIERE


Zulaa Urchuud

Mongolia
2017 | 00:03:00

In the 1970s during the Socialist era in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian urban mentality took shape. The originally nomadic Mongolians had to adapt to the urban livelihood and environment, wherein the special kind of urban mentality originated. This change from a nomadic way of life to the urbanized life still influences Mongolian people’s minds.

 

 

String Figure of Time

 


Kieko Ikehata

Japan
2018 | 00:13:30

This work shows the photos of four generations of women: The director herself, and her grandmother, mother, and daughter. Contained in one household's album were the memories of women from many generations - women who have passed, women who were newly born, women who became adults, and women who grew to become old. The times they lived were different, yet they were all someone's daughter and someone's mother. When we take and connect these moments that they share, the concept of time unravels, and takes on a new shape. These stories do not belong to anyone, yet they were all mine at the same time.

 

The Animal that therefore I am

FRENCH PREMIERE


Bea de Visser

Netherlands
2019 | 00:10:37

“What does the animal see when it looks at me?” Three animals and a woman in an enclosed space. As they study each other, their own methods of communication create a wordless conversation. We view them in close-up and from various perspectives, with the woman as a solitary species in this universe.

   
Bardo

WORLD PREMIERE


Maxime Lauret

France
2019 | 00:19:42

In the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Bardo is the intermediate state between death and rebirth in which the deceased experiences visions of one's previous life before being reborn.

   
The Sound of Falling

 


Chien-Yu Lin

United Kingdom
2018 | 00:12:52

An impressionistic film portraying the loss of freedom and the fading of life due to the decision of an orchard keeper on one ordinary day.

   

 

 



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.
