Cities I Haven’t Been To

Damir Cucic
SYNOPSIS
An abstract travelogue around the skylines of cities I have not been to. These are dystopian virtual travels from Sao Paulo and Dubai to Dhaka and beyond. The images of cities might be abstract, but I have recognized and picked them out of hundreds of thousands of photograms. Far from tourist postcards, these mental images stem from my knowledge and my prejudices, visualized in a flash of abstract figures.

Adieu, Corpus!

Alexander Isaenko
SYNOPSIS
Adieu, Corpus’ is a short film about versatility of human body. Body is the flesh, the corpus, the frame for organs, the assembly of limbs, the collection of rules, and the limits by which we define ourselves. The film shows the body as a place, and not as a subject. It is travelling along its borders, groping the way in time through events, rather than linearly, balancing at the edge of the rules, until once…crosses its own limitations and steps out of the frame. The body physically dies converting into virtual one.

A Time to Mend

Raffaele Rezzonico
SYNOPSIS
A Time to Mend is a research on the living body that plays and suffers, in the tension between the universalising geometric digitalization and the individual residue that is always specific, analogical, refractory. 
46 different times, as many possibilities to instantly improvise a way to go through the empty time of a convalescence, are brought together in a single space of vision.
A space-out-of-time that once was sacred and that nowadays has become scientific, biological.
