Now Listen

Directed by: Kijek/Adamski

Dogodki za pozabo / Događaji za zaboraviti / Events Meant to Be Forgotten

Directed by: Marko Tadić
Short synopsis:

Filmed on 16mm, this film uses archival materials and a poem by Hans Magnus Enzensberger to speak of forgotten people, their lives and their deeds. Two archives were found on a flea market in the City of Zagreb, one of a famous architect and the other of a famous composer. The film ponders on this occurrence, as well as on the vanishing and forgetfulness of humans.

Carrousel

Directed by: Jasmine Elsen
Short synopsis:

Roos grows up with her snails in the park. Their park. One day they get attacked by intruders. Or is it the other way around? A film about dehumanisation.

The Closing Door

Directed by: Lucija Mrzljak
Short synopsis:

A short animated film with Glen Hansard's music will take you on a mystical journey with the strokes of a brush and black ink.

Dnevne zadolžitve / Задачи за деня / Tasks of the Day

Directed by: Petja Zlateva
Short synopsis:

A short visual poem in which the main heroine is looking for escape from solitude in the routine of daily tasks. Instead of getting her life in order, she discovers madness and chaos, which overwhelm her. The film is based on the poem “Tasks of The Day” by Stefan Ivanov and it is part of the animated poetry collection Mark and Verse.

Dune

Directed by: Gábor Ulrich
Short synopsis:

The sounds as witnesses. They blur into memories, half-dreams, it is unclear if they are real or not. Fluctuation between imagination and reality. Rocking pictures in the mind, pulsating dark emotions. A horrible secret in the raging wind of our cells.
