THE DRESS byTadeusz Lysiak
FAUVE by Jeremy Comte
FAUVE from Jeremy Comte on Vimeo.
Synopsis: In an open pit where Mother Nature is the only observer, two kids experience the loss of innocence, the discovery of solitude, the quicksand of the transition from childhood to adulthood. A swamp that will force them to deal with the cracks of experience at an early age. A short film in which the purity of the look crosses the detachment and the maturity of the coming-of-age.
RETRIEVER by Joo Hwan
POST NO BILLS by Robin Hays & Andy Poon
ONE SMALL STEP by Bobby Pontillas & Andy Chesworth
THE LIGHTHOUSE by Simon Scheibe
The Lighthouse from Trim Tab on Vimeo.
Synopsis: The Lighthouse tells the tale of a lighthouse keeper’s surprising discovery that pulls him out of his monotonous, daily routine and takes him onto a journey into uncharted territory. Made up of over 14.000 photographs, The Lighthouse is a neo noir stop motion animation crafted by two hands over the course of 7 years.
THE NEIGHBORS’ WINDOW by Marshall Curry
Synopsis: The story of Alli: mother of two young children, frustrated by the her husband and daily routine. His life is shocked when he discovers he can see in the apartment in front the daily life of two free-spirited 20-year-olds. From Marshall Curry, three-time Oscar-nominated director. A short film with an extreme stylistic maturity: written and recited in a tight manner at first, then it open to a very subtle melancholy. It’s touched by a sharp but caressing pain which opens up sweetly on the notes of "Nobody Else will be There "by The National.
PENALTY by Aldo Iuliano
BISMILLAH by Alessandro Grande
Synopsis: Samira, a ten-year-old Tunisian girl, lives illegally in Italy with her father and her 17 -year-old brother Jamil. The young woman finds herself facing a bigger problem than she is. A glimpse of neorealist poetry that casts a humanist and never rhetorical light on the drama of immigration.
