Cine vasco experimental.
“Luz a la deviva” 17’51. Iñigo Salaberria
En Islandia la gente vive en la oscuridad una gran parte del año. Lo bueno que tiene la noche es que es como un telón de fondo que borra el decorado y te deja frente a lo más esencial, como frente a una hoja de papel en la que debes dibujar.
“Zerua titia ematen” 10’06. Aintzane Arangüena Ora-Arteta
Askotan norberak jartzen dizkio muga gaindiezinak gure ibilerari, halakoetan aurrera eta atzera gabiltza hesparru txiki baten. Denboraren poderioz trintxera moduko bat egiten dugu gure bizitokia. Zulo sakon horretatik ezinezkoa egiten zaigu ateratzea.
“Kretïar” 08’00. PEZ (Paula Bañuelos, Elbio Aparisi, Zuriñe Goikoetxea)
La naturaleza se crea, se destruye y se transforma. Y nosotros con ella. KretÏar es un encuentro entre el hombre y nuestro inexorable destino. Una celebración de la vida.
“Meteoros, aparatos y vórtices” 13’49. Esteban Navarrete
El proyecto Meteoros, aparatos y vórtices es una pieza de video que pretende generar un dialogo entre el entorno natural e industrial de Bizkaia y ciertas manifestaciones técnicas y atmosféricas vinculadas a la visualidad del cine Tech Noir; referente visual que da cuenta de la exigencia de otros universos posibles producto de la faceta distópica con lo artificial. Conceptualmente, la propuesta busca articular expresiones formales disímiles; impresiones visuales y sonoras que –oscilando entre la representación del entorno y la ficción– dejarían en evidencia la experiencia ubicua de nuestra relación con el territorio producto de la mediación técnica. El video intentarán dar cuenta, desde lo cinematográfico, de la incertidumbre simbólica de Bizkaia e imaginario de indeterminaciones que recaen sobre el paisaje y la forma en como interpretamos el entorno.
“El chófer” 11’00. Khuruts Begoña
En un contexto de crisis económica y de valores de nivel global, EL CHOFER plantea la posibilidad de la acción directa como desahogo popular dirigida a un representante del poder, por medio de su chófer.
Pero cuidado, la victoria puede resultar ser tu mutilación.

“Muerte con olor a nube” 05’27. Eli Belmonte
"Ella" consigue por fin adquirir la sabiduría que da la cultura pegada a la tierra y recuperar así la inocencia perdida. MUERTE CON OLOR A NUBE es un viaje onírico de "Ella" y su alter ego "Winky" a través de las vivencias de la protagonista: la inocencia, la infancia, las dudas, las oscuridades, el palo, la agitación, los agujeros negros y húmedos, la muerte, el agua, el renacer, la sabiduría, ... la sanación. Es una película de sensaciones. Hecha con mucho respeto ética y estéticamente. Desde muy adentro y sin jerarquías. Iban Gaztanbide y Eli Belmonte dirigen, producen y montan aleatoriamente.
“Fishura” 06’49. Yago Mateo

“London reflects” 03’12. Jokin Pascual & Javier Dampierre

“Elemento inestable” 07’55. Isabel Pérez del Pulgar (España)
La identidad como conocimiento y consciencia de uno mismo. El tiempo como proceso de transformación, cambio, evolución, aprendizaje, dolor y decadencia. Múltiples aristas que forman el juego de espejos que definen la visión fragmentaria de una imagen, la propia imagen tanto en su externalización y enfrentamiento con las otras imágenes y el entorno, así como las múltiples visiones que genera la propia percepción.
“Lisbon” 04’00. Gil Zablodovsky & Shim Edri (Portugal-Israel)
This video was filmed in Lisbon Portugal in 2014, as a part and together i found a conclusion of combining these together and make a video that is a personal eye-site of me on Lisbon subrurbs, exotic life style and unique places who is shown as a sequel of the video materials i joined with a singer-songwriter - Shim Edri- who wrote original music.
“:/ eclipsed” 03’34. Nicole Baker (USA)
:/eclipsed is the creation myth of an ancient civilization in the distant future.
“Off the night roads” 01’50. Allison Kotzig (Eslovaquia)
A sleepy driver encounters a magical forest world, but was any of it real?
“La vie en noir” 02’57. Victor “Vic Kings” Reis (Brasil)
The path of a dancer trying to find out her place in the Universe, while her doubts and thoughts are meditated by the Cosmos, an unseen entity.
“Manufactured britishness” 13’30. Kristina Cranfeld (UK)
What is the future of citizenship in Britain and what new rules will be proposed for immigrants to become citizens? Manufactured Britishness is a project derived from the compulsory and very real Life in the UK test, which examines skills for integrating into British society. The project critically explores the assessment program contrived by Britain in testing for citizenship by proposing a future manifestation of the Life in the UK test.
“Perpetuum mobile” 02’29. Eri Kassnel (Alemania)
Human life is determined by patterns. This conclusion is pointed to the thesis, that we all are a part of a system or machinery, which consists of individuals, who function according to patterns. If one part is failing, it is replaced with another working element – a principle, which keeps a system in permanent move. In this work I assembled single images to a stop-motion animation. The photographs, which show three dancing persons, follow a certain pattern and generate a kind of dance.
“PsychoKinetic” 05’11. Damian Gromala (Polonia)
The movement, emotion, abstraction - that is all what can be transferred without using words. A short experimental movie about movement theatre reveals magic of improvisation and the strength of impulse which can turn into (non)logical form.
“S.C.A.N. – Searching alternative nature” 06’52. Dénes Suzsa & Fruzsina Spizer (Hungría)
We discovered that almost every chemical element in our body was formed inside the stars. The formation of our solar system is also caused by previously lived stars. Our galaxy formation is the result of a supernova shock wave. Our existence is a natural consequence of the existence of the stars, so we can suppose the idea that in our distant galaxies our distant relatives lives.
“Tripytch” 02’12. Anabela Costa (Portugal)
Up and down on the screen surface for coming together in one piece.
For some years i work with experimental software ARTIE-fract with which i generate image and sequences of animate moving images. This software was not designed to animation, anyway i could turn it and i make a fully exploitation. During these years i have been working with the scientif team that developed the software. "She used the evolution of still images as a source of raw material for her video montages (see figures 9, to,11),and the implicit fitness she actually used for evolving the population of IFS attractors is based on an indirect evaluation using the animation tool of ArtiE-Fract"
“Artificio” 01’40. Marisa Benito (España)
La mujer ya no es un todo, es un cuerpo fragmentado, es un rostro sin identidad diluido en el artificio cosmético. El lado invisible de la mujer se muestra rodeado de misterio y lejanía entre elementos naturales que recrean una atmósfera dramática y turbadora. En la construcción social de la mujer perfecta interviene la mirada voyeur masculina que es principalmente la que ha generado y moldeado el mito.
“@Recuerdos” 01’00. Rodrigo Canet (España)
Hay recuerdos que podemos ver, tocar, oler, escuchar, y sentir. Hay recuerdos que deben estar en algún lugar.
“Iconosfera” 04’45. Clara Aparicio Yoldi (España-UK)
This video reflects on the importance of images in the construction of the collective imagination. Both what is shown and what is hidden. From the Christian iconography to the saturation of images of the current iconosphere and media manipulation.
Based on the paintings that covered the walls of Romanesque churches, used to indoctrinate the faithful in a time when most people could not read, this video reflects on interactivity and the apparent freedom we have today day to choose between various options.
“Asphyxia” 02’07. Daniel Wechsler (Israel)
Over sampling / last breath. 2015
Obscured and strangled by an over sampled, multiple layered channel.
“Message through generation” 03’59. Furen Dai (USA)
Message Through Generation is a work about the mother copies words from the book of Commandments for women on the glass as a metaphor for generational passing of the information about women’s behave.
“The separation loop” 03’56. Leyla Artesi Rodríguez (Alemania)
In this short film, the artist aims to unravel the complicated relationship between two worlds, by trying to
reconcile them.
“Corpo comune” 06’17. Antonello Novellino (Italia-España)
La florescenza è la luce-vita di un corpo, la sua aurea, la presenza; ma scegliendo di rendere comune un corpo esso non si possiede più, si dona e come idividualità evapora con la sua luce nello spazio di altri.

“Masochistic time machine (Beiβpony)” 03’20. Klaus Erich Dietl (Alemania)
So I build a masochistic time machine. Only use it that you can be mean to me sometimes in the past.
“Jutta mind” 17’00. Marit Shalem (Holanda)
Jutta Mind has the ability to simultaneously divide her time in between being a factory worker to performing actions as a super hero in a second dimension. She has an important goal to fulfill: rescuing the P Machine – the Production Machine from the hands of her own employer, Dey Driest and his company D-Ent. This P Machine, half organic- half mechanic creature is sick and endangered. A group of refugees are joining forces with Jutta Mind. Together they are about to pass through the mirror border heading towards the so called Productive Hyperspace.
“Marselo” 00’59. Antonello Novellino e Luca Granato (Italia)
A young artist go in his studio and he's ready to start the new work. In silence he observes a great white cloth laid on the wall. Suddenly he fall on it swept away by the inspiration, with rage he paints the cloth. This moment is going to change his life for ever, because, thanks to the realization of this work, he's grown up.
“Mesmer” 07’13. Grant Petrey (Canadá)
Situated with Artaud’s ideas of the experiential and assault, Mesmer explores subjectivity and sublime experience to question accepted knowledge and perceptions of phenomena and “truth”. Juxtaposing a tension between highly mediated and animated visuals that work reflexively with intense affective elements is central to this work. The strategy of aesthetic assault is deployed with the intention of disrupting the temporal to create formal and metaphorical parallax.
“Between regularity and irregularity” 07’50. Masahiro Tsutani (Japón)
The filmmaker improvises and through a conversation with himself, he has a chaotic worldview evocative of the firing of nerve cells, clustering sounds of convulsiveness. Finely-detailed images filled with light are synced to sound. Nature creates the glow of light and the beauty of a shape lying between regularity and irregularity. Sounds and images with a granular texture.
“The art of making costume” 01’30. Mizuho Sato (Japón)
The starting point of the project is that I always thought the making process of costume can be more interesting than the actual finished costume. So I decide to explore the beauty of process of making costume, the beauty of imperfection, impermanence though this video. The story is the based on a Japanese picture book The Pink Giraffe, and the scene in the film is when the giraffe made by the girl but gets dissolved by the rain. The story is a half documentary of making costume, also a half fictional story which reveals the relationship between the creator and the created object.
“saVer” 07’54. Simon Gerbaud (Mexico)
Este cortometraje de animación explora objetos cotidianos (un zapato, una computadora, un refrigerador, un cráneo animal…) por medio de la deconstrucción. El título combina dos verbos: ver y saber.
“Parasite” 06’23. Mauricio Sanhueza (Perú)
A lo largo de los siglos los sueños han significado para muchas culturas, imágenes que nos hablan sobre el futuro. En tiempos modernos se les consideró una conexión con el inconsciente. Hoy en día este tipo de sueños mórbidos o altamente perturbadores pueden ser considerados como síntomas de una enfermedad mental. Éste vídeo es una versión libre del Laberinto de Creta en el que el mito de Teseo y el Minotauro se ven reflejados en un solo personaje.
“Life is a bitch” 22’28. Silvia Amancei & Bogdan Armanu (Rumanía)
A sci-fi video-novel which finds its set in a possible future where the Left has the opportunity to build its project on Europa, moon of planet Jupiter. The short film follows the struggle of a leftist couple which couldn’t afford the flight to the “Socialist Moon”.
“God” 02’59. Edmunds Lucis & Raitis Vulfs (Letonia)
In the video “GOD” questions such as concept of space, existence and time are raised. The audience witness one moment of the history of creation, which is an integral part of the myths of human history and of significant importance to our cultural memory. All we can see is a semi portrait of a woman without any significant individual characteristics. Her hands knead the clay in a washbasin. The empty surrounding and the black space define the degree of the impact of the artistic components, producing an auratic atmosphere of creation and production. The specific sound of nature and water as well as the images of the video engage the sensory experience of the viewer. With precision and satisfaction the woman creates an infant out of the clay. The crying boy leads us back to here and now. As a spectator we could witness an unconventional female birth, which was less physical but more conceptual. The aesthetic of the image composition and the flickering illumination remind us of the iconography of Caravaggio’s oil paintings. Through the absence of time and space as significant definition criteria the video plot is developing in a vacuum. A more philosophical question would be: what is time? And how can time be defined?

“Thank God Heaven left us standing on our feet” 04’00. Makis Kyriakopoulos (Grecia)
The video is based on the work of Hieronymus Bosch “the garden of earthly delights”.
Specifically I reuse the symbolism of Bosch to create a parable, wanting to show what "sin" is and how it functions. A sin is loaded upon us and afterwards defines and limits us.
“Diversity of stars” 01’48. Anne-Theresa Wittmann (Alemania)
Three different coloured stones are moved across the screen so that one stone always takes the place of another. The different coloured dust they leave behind shows where each has been. These colours entwine against the background to form a drawing made up of a myriad of new colour blends.
The aspect of something new being created by mixing together certain substances can be found in sociology, too: diversity comes from living together as equals, and the resulting blend of different groups. It´s a basis for knowledge exchange, revitalisation, creativity.
“Of mice and men” 01’52. Esra Aydin (Turquía)
The film depicts tragic story of a Mouse leading a life hidden in a house that it entered accidentally. Mouse finds itself among the goods which doesn’t belong to and starts living in a dream that will not be able to happen.
At the same time in this film referring to the novel “Of Mice and Men” published in 1937 is underlined the concepts of ‘ownership’ and ‘othering’.
“Orange band” 03’51. Sarah Bliss (USA)
A non-narrative poetry of flicker and interference. Film phrases built thru precise frame-by-frame editing are joined with lyrical passages and abrupt, dysnchronous jolts. The volley of contrasting elements cohere into a rhythmic experiential “thought-image” mind-and-soundscape.
“No man’s land” 03’33. Cristóbal Catalán (España)
Made entirely of still images and hand scribed digital animation, ‘No Man’s Land’ is a surreal journey into the dynamics of belonging, travel and deterritorialisation. The human race is compelled to own lands, to share lands, to belong to lands. The film uses symbolism and imagery to explore issues of what is private, what is public, the movement of a human...endless until 'home' is defined. This film was made in response to the disturbing footage of refugees fleeing Africa and Syria, exploring notions of dispossession and migration as a form of pilgrimage.
“Portal” 00’33. Liv Settergren (Dinamarca)
I work with video because it is the media that allows me to get the closest to dreaming
and the closest to reality. Video allows me to distort reality in ways we otherwise mostly experience in
dreams. ”Portal” is about identity; the loss thereof and transition and about questioning reality or our
perception of it.
By making use of narratives, hinting at them or letting parts of a narrative play out, I hope to engage the
viewer’s expectations of where a narrative would normally go. In “Portal” I am working from the idea of
technology being part of our nature. A fairly new part, that is ever changing, growing larger and influencing
and changing our nature as humans.
“Blendings” 09’22. Jem Raid (UK)
Asking;
Which image is the 'right' way round?
Is there just one image?
Or six
Was the figure posed there?
Or elsewhere
Mainly though
Does it matter?
“Fractal” 01’56. Thomas Vallianatos (Grecia)
The core of the project is an interactive reconstruction of the image and production of video in real time on the basis of the audio information of the image or the visualized image of a natural sound. The sound translation acts in real time to the image’s quality (eg. Texture of a natural pattern or displacement mapping in the 3d version of the image) and produces a different medium (video in real time) on the basis of eg. A change of a parameter in the image through an interactive shader.
“Mikronscape” 09’59. Giorgio Bertinelli (Italia)
Mikronscape is an audiovisual installation based on researching pseudorandom movements of densified color applied to a move glassy surface and controlled by a performer. The audio was then made up using as procedural information the numerical coding of a sensor located at the base of the vitreous surface.
“Human cellphone” 02’07. Or Ariely (Israel)
In the film appears the artist touching his body with a smartphone, while the phones cameras works, and as the artist get undressed, the camera continued to film his body, and a purple line appears on the screen wherever the phone is touching him. The soundtrack is based on a grammar audio lesson, which was edited in to a music composition, which gives spiritual bizzare feeling. The phone tries to give the hyper-realistic reality that the today standard smartphone seems to gives us over the world. As the cubism tried to show larger part of objects, so the phones give us oprutuninty to investigate our surroundings. Like one can know information about the world only by using portable phone and the internet, the phone cameras can maps the human body by touching him. The touch of the phone on the human body as we experience today and as this films shows, is almost sexual. We are touching our phone in sexual manner and therefore we doing fetishistic act toward it. This fetishistic which exhibited can maybe explain why the smartphones are so associated with consumerism.
“Alunados” 08’53. Anabela Romina Turlione (Argentina)
Noche de luna llena. Estación fluvial de Rosario. Martín Sosa cumpliendo su turno de trabajo. Apagón de luz. Sonidos extraños. Graznir de pájaros. Ranas. Insectos. El río. A veces algo que está cerca puede resultar lejano e inalcanzable...
“Not everyone can carry the weight of the world” 04’30. Stephan Groβ (Alemania)
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world” shows an ironic vision of a machine eye squinting against a reflection of the bright sun on a building facade as a metaphor of signal failure (audio and visual collaboration with the composer Martin Groß)
“27 años 16 h” 05’58. Camila Marchon (Brasil)
My work consists in several self-portraits. I reveal myself physically in fragments.
The body is a subject for me, specially when I ask the public to build pictures of me as they want, from parts of photos of my own body.
In all my images there is a shatter of the face, the body, the identity. There is no longer a picture that can synthesize the individual. The individual becomes many in the crowd of the anonymous world wide web. The face in the age of instant social media becomes like any other, depersonalized, disintegrated, ephemeral in a world overwhelmed by images. As a scourge, which does not have respite. How far our eyes can still see? How many faces, among trillions, will last?
“Doucement” 02’40. Flako Rojas (Venezuela-Bélgica)
Es un proceso de transformación de la naturaleza, el cambio de las formas y los colores, la trasmutación de las especies.
“Kovan” 04’00. Duygu Nazli Akova (Turquía)
“The Hive” takes a look at the unplanned urbanization, which has been paraded under the guise of “urban renewal”, Istanbul has been undergoing for many years. This unplanned urbanization creates mega cities made out of concrete, by destroying the existing historical and cultural legacy. This situation is conveyed through the visualization of Marx’s bee and machine metaphor. This metaphor exemplifies how, due to the heavy work load, the workers become mechanical; how they are not only exposed to the adverse effects of this workload but even pay for it with their lives. They are forced to work at such a speed and yet this speed leads to the creation of both abundance, but also nothingness. At the same time, the metaphor represents the impossibility for the workers to own the very building they help produce. In this sense, “The Hive”, focuses on the workers’ working conditions, contract labor, human rights and urban renewal.
“News from the Sun” 03’20. Brendan & Jeremy Smyth (USA)
An apocalyptic narrative unfolds through the words of "The Sun", a British tabloid created by media mogul Rupert Murdoch. 4000 single frames were exposed and accompanied with the pulsing rhythms of the sun collected by NASA, resembling the Buddhist "Om", the sound of our universe. The dichotomy between the title of the tabloid and the life-creating attribute of the sun itself points at the increasing role of media in our existence, dictating the meaning of our lives.
“The postmodern pioneer plaque” 07’51. Boris Kozlov (Serbia-España)
En 1973 Carl Sagan creó la Placa Pioneer para la misión espacial Pioneer 10 de la NASA. La Placa fue el primer intento del género humano de comunicarse con civilizaciones extraterrestres. Hoy, cuatro décadas después, el Mundo se reúne para componer un nuevo mensaje…

“Neuroworld” 1’05’29. Borja Crespo (Euskadi)
Nada es lo que parece. Todo puede ser. Baile de parásitos emocionales en un juego de máscaras. Monika y Kristina son compañeras de piso y quizás amigas. Una de ellas es una famosa YouTuber. Una pistola, dos pistolas… Una historia basada en las historietas de M.A. Martín incapaz de dejar indiferente al espectador. Transcurre en un mundo que puede ser el nuestro, donde la tecnología y las redes sociales han cambiado la manera de relacionarse.
“Neurosex pornoia episode 2” 10’55. Abigail Gnash & Eric Pussyboy (Alemania)
Meet Z_1021, caught in a spiral of desperation and frustration, imprisoned in a neurologically improved society, and enter the secret world of neurosex code users and online infrastructure.

“L’aurora che non vedró” 10’33. Domenico Giuseppe Mongelli (Italia)
A middle-aged men and women are kidnapped by images of old movies (late 50s) in black and white, shot in 8mm, projected onto the screen of a large private lounge, with a glorious past. The videos give us the memory of a woman who makes familiarize her 6 year old boy with a small camera, the subject for him still unknown. The mother then start shooting various scenes of games and activities between her and the small, brief moments of everyday tenderness, blending family intimacy to use education of the camera.
“La luz que no vemos” 18’40. Lázaro Louzao (España)
El infierno puede ser el primer estadio del viaje de Dante o la red laberíntica del subsuelo de Barcelona, pero, ¿y si fuesen las dos a la vez?
“Uróboros. Eterno retorno” 03’23. Iria Cabrera Balbuena (España)
Un hombre en una estancia de aspecto industrial, llena de engranajes: una maquinaria que gira sin cesar, símbolo de un sistema cíclico. Está ciego, y su ceguera no le permite salir de este lugar. E incluso cuando lo consigue, vuelve invariablemente al punto de inicio. Esa es su condena.
“Julia de Castro, de la Puríssima. Anatomía de una criminal” 28’59. Javier Giner (España)
Esta docu-ficción dirigida por Javier Giner sigue a la cupletista y actriz Julia de Castro, del cuarteto musical De la Purissima, en su particular odisea por encontrar a alguien que reconozca su auténtico valor, reflejado en un retrato pintado por Óscar Tusquets que no duda en pasear medio desnuda por las calles de Barcelona. Cortometraje cómico radical, explosivo y trasgresor sobre los límites entre el arte y su representación basado en la improvisación y en la pérdida de las reglas, el miedo y el control que ha levantado pasiones en medios como El País y Movistar Plus.
“Yakana 1” 06’57. Andrea Chamorro (Chile)
Viaje migratorio de pájaros-humanos-danzantes por un desierto cubierto de desechos.
“Femme” 04’49. Beatriz Mínguez de Molina (España)
Entramos en el sueño en apnea de una mujer. Historia deshilvanada, fragmento de juegos y memoria de sus gestos cotidianos. Pesa 10 % de su peso y sin fuerza, con suavidad, nos desliza entre las líneas invisibles de su sueño. Juega simplemente a llevarnos al juego perverso de la muerte como metáfora de transgresión y transformación. Una vida imaginaria vislumbrada, que termina tras la confrontación con el reflejo de su propia imagen. Todo es pretexto y distracción, como la vida misma.
“Tesoro” 03’03. Oscar Berdullas (España)
Fábula cinematográfica en la que la madre naturaleza nos manda un mensaje útil para su propia salvación.

“TRiplete PLástico” 01’30. Ignacio Tamarit (Argentina)
Over the years I painted super 8 film strips that for some reason I discarded and stored in boxes. After a while I wanted to give a new use to this material, or at least recycle it.
So I started to view and select only the parts that interested me the most of all this footage. I ended up taking 3 frames here, 5 there and collected an entire folder of small frames.
This film is like the work of an architect, building a building block, by splicing small blocks of frames, looking to collide with one another and create new images.
At the same time, this film is an apology to the act of splicing, the aesthetics of the joint.
Enjoy the splice of life!

Between charred wood and the sunset. Between infinitesimal liquid crystals and the expansive space of the Internet.

“Fragmented ideological axioms” 00’12. Patrick Schabus (Austria)
Even with its brief runtime, Fragmented Ideological Axioms presents us with a rapidly advancing cascade of images that pour themselves over the strained screen and thereby create an immersive aesthetic construct that poses questions about the origin of its fractured images. The source material originates from a time before the omnipresent availability of HD, a time where in each image there was the faint notion of a clandestine second image that may or may not have been in the imagination of the viewer. Like the final, fragmented image of a strange dream that still lingers on after the time of waking, but through its abstract formlessness is unable to form a lasting bond with the inertia-clouded mind. With that in mind, Patrick Schabus' Fragmented Ideological Axioms may also be understood as a document of this fleeting moment.

The same principle applies to the music. Within a jammed and very rich sound environment, wide bands are partly erased which leave us with a feeling of emptiness or even… oblivion.

“Intangible body” 02’44. Emelie Mahdavian (USA)
This experimental film explores censorship of Iranian women’s dance performance and what constitutes a woman’s ”body” in the digital age. Given that women "dancing" in public is illegal in Iran today -- and even animated movies are censored -- we set out to play with the edge of what constitutes a body, a dance, or an Iranian woman...
Created via motion capture composited with video, the film has three layers, each representing one aspect of the dancer’s body, but without any video of her figure appearing in the final film: the motion capture figure is controlled by an algorithm tied to the speed of the dancer’s movement; the music is entirely sampled from her voice; and the fabric with which she danced was isolated in the video via chroma keying to create a residue of her interaction with a prop that invokes the presence of the absent dancer.
“Twirl & levitate” 05’04. Vadim Schäffler (Alemania)

The new pattern rarely corresponds to the desired structure. The parameters of the structure change and twirl. The pattern levitates.

“Nancy” 03’28. Kaeley Boyle (USA)
The video, "Nancy," follows a delusional woman attempting to create her own dream reality giving us glimpses of a personality comprised of antithetical characteristics. Nancy’s external composure conceals underlying impulsivity. Comprised of exaggerated characteristics of my own maternal relatives, "Nancy" addresses the claustrophobia of domesticity and the inability to escape subliminal psychological expectations. The title character struggles with past representations of the ideal woman. Fed up with the role-playing, Nancy exposes the beauty of her impulsivity, giving into violence, or as she sees it, a change in perspective. No longer concerned with the perception of her oddities, Nancy wears her internal struggle for self-awareness on the walls and the objects that surround her.

"Flow" involves a cubist like fracturing of the "normal" viewing/ temporal experience.

“Dolores Boys “Tear wager” 03’17. Luciano de Azevedo (Brasil)
-Tear Wager-
I was real
The tears fell from my eyes

You're no knave
You know that there's a price
to be paid
I was real
I was real
I'm a real
I'm a real
Tear Wager

“Kvailai” 01’44. Rut Angielina Fuentes (España)
Kvailai is a criticism of the education system and this assimilation of the concepts of memory and learning . kvailai also contains a critique of all social behavior directly or indirectly derived from this fact.
In kvailai , we wanted to use a visual narrative based on the metaphor and highly symbolic , getting carried away by concepts , ideas and feelings without fear of distorting the traditional narrative structures. We have made this decision , both for its visual and communicative force , and to maintain consistency with breaking ideas and free thought that inspire Kvailai.
It is for this reason that kvailai lacks literary or technical script , floorplan and storyboarding, as creation based on inspiration and ideas , the process of shooting and postproduction has been an organic development and dependent on the creative outburst of each components in each of the steps of creation.
“Brutalism beats” 05’34. Janin Walter & Tosh Leykum (Alemania)
The film is a kind of declaration of love to the Ihme-Zentrum in Hannover, Germany.
The Ihme-Zentrum was built in the 1970’s in the style known as Brutalist Architecture (1). At the time, it was the largest construction site in Europe, and still has the largest continuous concrete foundation in Europe. The design concept was for Ihme-Zentrum to be a “city within the city”, with mantra, Living, Working, and Shopping within this building complex. The concept of the architecture works with different levels, scales and spaces. Then and now it is a visionary example for city development. Today, many apartments are empty, the once bustling shopping arcade is now completely devoid of any commercial or social life.
In the film Brutalism Beats, the imposing building is presented in a somewhat creepy manner, but it also manages to convey a certain charm at the same time. The building has its own rhythm, similar to a heartbeat, and within this rhythm, different protagonists move in their own vibrations.
