Aqueronte
Manuel Muñoz Rivas / Spain 2023 / 26' / DCP / colour / Spanish / Exp/Doc
On board a ferry, passengers are crossing a river. Some wrap themselves in silence and observe their fellow travelers or the scenery. Others chat. The journey on water seems to expand, and the arrival is postponed. Motion itself is perhaps the only certainty.
Honeymoon
Alkis Papastathopoulos / Greece/France/Cyprus 2023 / 25' / DCP / colour / Greek / Fic
After a traumatizing event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack leaves them stranded on a highway.
Vitanuova
Niles Atallah / Chile/Spain/Mexico 2023 / 13'43" / DCP / colour / English / Exp/Ani
In a fable created by hyper-mechanisms of the future, a message in an algorithmic bottle tells a story of extinction from the past to a clay humanoid in the present.
Daydreaming So Vividly about Our Spanish Holidays
Christian Avilés / Spain 2022 / 23'34" / DCP / colour / English/Spanish / Fic
Driven by their desire for light and warmth, British teenagers take a trip to the Balearic Islands. They must absorb the sun and store it in their bodies to take it back to their cloud-covered kingdom. A surreal film about the real phenomenon of «balconing», which has led to tragic accidents in recent summers.
