Passing Time(2023)
For the unique 2x25 project, the Film Fest Gent asked 25 composers to compose a short piece of music, after which 25 filmmakers made a short film. The result: 25 exceptional films where the music inspired the form, narrative and texture. "Passing Time" began with Uruguayan composer Florencia Di Concilio's music and was completed with Terence Davies' reading of his own poem about his late sister, delivered over a single serene shot of the countryside near his home in Essex.

Shades of Fern(cs)
Based on the only extensive prose work by the surrealist painter Josef Capek, Shades of Fern most resembles the philosophical fairy tales and fables of Josef’s older brother, the legendary Czech novelist and playwright Karel Capek.

Panicked, they retreat into a forest that grows steadily more forbidding and deadly as their fear for the future—and guilt over their action—mounts. Loosely based on hundreds of oral folk tales and legends that haunt the woods of Czechoslovakia, Vlácil’s contemporary updating artistically underscores the relationship between man and nature, crime and punishment, isolation and society, and guilt and memory.
