The latest trends in international filmmaking: our competition programmes present recent short films from around the world. The best works will be presented with prizes at the Award Ceremony on Sunday.
Aribada
Natalia Escobar/Simon(e) Jaikiriuma Paetau / Germany/Colombia 2022 / 30' / DCP / colour / Spanish / Fic/Doc
In the Colombian coffee region, Aribada, the resurrected monster, meets Las Traviesas, a group of indigenous transwomen from the Emberá tribes. In their unique world, magic, dream, and performance coexist, creating a universe in which documentary and fiction merge.
Hardly Working
Total Refusal / Austria 2022 / 20'30" / DCP / colour / English / Exp/Doc
An ethnographic exploration of the work and life realities of non-player characters, the digital extras in video games. Their labour loops and activity patterns as well as bugs and malfunctions paint a vivid analogy for work under capitalism.
Nest
Hlynur Pálmason / Iceland/Denmark 2022 / 22' / DCP / colour / Icelandic / Fic/Exp
A story of siblings building a tree house together over the course of a year. We experience the beauty and brutality of the seasons as we follow them through their struggles and moments of joy.
The Sea Is Also Yours
Michelle Coelho / Brazil/Cuba 2022 / 20'31" / DCP / colour / Spanish/Portuguese / Doc
A woman dreams that she is transformed into an animal. Between sleep and wakefulness, she remembers her abortion and the ghosts that have accompanied her since. Other women of the island reveal mysteries that help her heal the wounds caused by the violence that nightmarishly condemns women in her country.
