LOVE THY NEIGHBOR_darovan tusek_Croatia_20min

"Love Thy Neighbor" is a short documentary portrait of a 51 year old man who lives near Sinj in Dalmatian hinterland. It's also a film about film, or more exactly, about the process of making a documentary film, in which the author and the protagonist fight for control over the story and content.  It's not important who the winner of this battle is, because their joint effort to make a film represents a testimony about our differences and peculiarities.

A USELESS FICTION_cheong kin man_Macao_31min

The filmmaker approaches his life struggles as a dilemma between the filmed and the non-filmed, the translation and the impossibility of communication, the voice-over and the subtitles. As a fan of Kon Ichikawa and Yasunari Kawabata, and a lover of Michio Takeyama’s novel „Harp of Burma”, he tries to express that complexity in a series of multilayered fictive/true stories through visual, audial and, especially, textual manipulations while questioning the power structure of image quality. Mixing his banal daily life, his past, and the filmmaking process, the filmmaker raises several anthropological and life questions on nature, origin, language, non-existence, identity, visual media and dominant cultures. He strives to find answers in a circle of interpreting himself in a conflict between oppressed and powerful languages, retranslating what is translated and letting others reinterpret him from both within and without the film. Everything becomes useless when one transcends boundaries inside the mind.

FLOWERS IN THE SHADOWS_olivier magis_Romania/Belgium_63min

Braila, Dabune delta, Romania. It is mid summer and women from across the whole country gather at the City’s Grand Hotel, for the weekend. They have come for an important meeting: the annual beauty pageant, a contest like many others…except that here, it is inner beauty that counts. And for good reason: organizers and contestants are blind or partially-sighted.
