Alice in Dreamland

Sweet Home(ko)

A young man and woman enter an empty house where they plan to live for their newlyweds. The woman is not happy with the old and gloomy house and complains nonstop. The man ignores the woman's complaints and silently explores her house. There is a woman in front of him who is trying to complete the present with pieces of the past. The house without her family is like ruins. It is a work that projects the empty efforts of modern people to restore the meaning of a broken family into a terrifying fantasy.

Drift(en)

Drift by Max Hattler sees the body as a metaphorical landscape. Eerie and sometimes too close for comfort the film manages to transform the familiar and mundane into something poetic and mysterious. A narrative grows out of what at first seems like nothing, but by the time the journey is over the viewer is left wanting more. What has happened is uncertain and maybe unimportant. The mood is at the heart of this piece. One part horror film and one part nature study certainly makes for a compelling mix.

Carl(en)

The plot of this Action/Romance short-film starts with the duel of Carl (Robot-Gladiator-Champion) and Space Jesus. Before the finishing blow could land, rescue comes in the form of a Techno-Angel, who turns out to be Carl’s long lost love. So he changes sides and goes head to head against Drill-Raptors, EggBeater-Scorpions and a mighty BBQ-Octopus.

Simonetta's eyes(es)

Walking in her home, Evelia experiences the past, the present and the future at the same time. In the symbolic life she leads, governed by the god Janus, everything around her seems to speak to her, until random visions are born poetic. Through the trance state that awakens the inner gaze, Evelia's anima connects with the anima mundi. Simonetta's eyes is about the memory that a person will leave behind; Evelia tells the viewer, with the language of the gaze: "one day, we will only be memory".

Drama in the Air(fr)

This Gaston Velle movie from 1904 was a fairly venturesome piece of film-making for the era. First, its credits include Jules Verne: his second after the Méliès TRIP TO THE MOON a couple of years earlier. Second, it uses a dozen cuts, irised lenses -- the balloonists' views through their telescope -- panning shots, combined images and tints. The tints were standard for the era, but everything else had to be achieved with great difficulty. In an era when most movies still lasted a minute with a stationary camera and a single set-up, this was pretty much state of the art.

Big Relay Race(ru)

In ancient times, many centuries before our era, the Greeks fought so often and shed blood that even the formidable Zeus could not stand it and suggested taking a break every four years. For this, sports competitions were invented, during which it was strictly forbidden to fight with each other. The competition was named the Olympic Games, and since then the tradition has been passed down from generation to generation.

Céu(pt)

The angel protecting Mariana must guide her to her death. What happens when she finds herself falling in love with the human she protects?

Empty Space(et)

Spectacles on the Beach(en)

Adieu bipède(fr)

In Adieu bipède (1987), Hébert turned to performance, using the scratching technique for the scenes with dancing and music. He used the same technique in La Lettre d'amour (1988).

The Event(pl)

The Glass Marble(cs)

Different animals play with a marble in this whimsical story from Hermína Týrlová, ‘the mother of Czech animation’

Another Side of the Moon(ru)

A comic film about traditional Caucasian hospitality.

Memories of War(fr)

This haunting animation film, rich with symbolism, is the filmmaker's plea for a peaceful world in which to raise his newborn son. Using the menacing imagery of the howling wind, the artist provokes viewers to reflect on the insanity of war. While the film is symbolic, its message is unmistakably clear: unless there is an end to conflict, we will continue to see our children swept away like leaves in the wind.
