FILMS

LE MAL DES ARDENTS | ARDENT OTHER

Alice Brygo, 2022, FR, 16 minutes

A stunned crowd faces a fire. The threat has no name, a diffuse anguish spreads. Fear needs to be conjured, fire must be turned into a sign.

MOKOSH

Anna Dudko, 2023, AT and UA, 5 minutes

The Sun is breaking into pieces, hard times are coming. In the devastating chaos, Mother Earth gives birth to a new cycle of life. Mokosh was created during a one year artist-in-residence program as a reaction to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

CHICKEN*

Anna Benner, 2023, DE, 8 minutes

What do we burn when our world is already on fire? A woman in a violent relationship encounters a chicken. They share a moment, a cigarette and a desire to set this world ablaze to reflect their wounds. A painted flight of fancy about the elation that comes with breaking out of a cycle of pain.

*contains depiction of gender-based violence and images some viewers may find disturbing

间歇 | A NAP IN FLUOROSCOPY BUSES

Lei Lei, 2022, CN, 7 minutes

Fluoroscopy uses X-rays to see movement inside the body. The microscope becomes a narrative device that brings surveillance and alienation into focus. The film oscillates between microcosm and macrocosm to highlight the irony of loneliness in an overcrowded environment.

LA MUJER ILUSTRADA | ILLUSTRATED WOMAN

Isabel Herguera, 2023, ES, 8 minutes

In Ahmedabad, Isabel gives an animation workshop on Mehndi design to a group of henna tattoo artists. She asks them about their dreams: Ramia would love to fly, Saadiya dreams of an all-woman parliament, Shubhashree longs to travel to Switzerland, and Samira voices her independence through rap.

LA PERRA

Carla Melo Gampert, 2023, CO and FR, 14 minutes

Being a daughter, being a mother, becoming a woman. In Bogota, a bird-girl leaves the family home, her domineering mother and her faithful dog behind to go and explore her sexuality.

SWIM!

Isabel Santos, 2022, US-alt-short, 5 minutes

At swim practice, a girl is confronted with her changing body while being bombarded by the whistling of her eccentric coach, the burden of God’s watchful eye, the majesty of the older swimmers and naughty recordings on her teammate’s mobile phone.

TAKO TSUBO

Fanny Sorgo, Eva Pedroza, 2024, AT and DE, 6 minutes

Mr. Ham decides to heal a broken heart by having it removed, as this is the socially acceptable treatment of pain. Holding onto the organ after the surgery, maybe he can begin to understand it better. The film takes its name from a medical condition known as “broken heart syndrome”.
