身心在虛擬和現實邊界中遊走,在無垠宇宙中看遍人性風景。即便往事的陰影與殘響迴盪不歇,人們仍試著透過演繹去理解過去,以花草自我療癒,同時不斷探究你我他之間(不)理解的(不)可能性。即便真相與未來都是未知難解的謎題,也別忘了在絕望的時刻幽默以對。

A director reflects on his past amid the violent city of Medellin. He recalls his debut film's pre-production, casting from the queer scene, and the heroin-overdose death of the 21-year-old protagonist. The documentary explores the dreams and fears of an annihilated generation, and the struggle to carry on making cinema.  

Bye Bye Tiberias

Leaving her native village to follow her dream of becoming an actress, Hiam Abbass also left behind her mother, grandmother and seven sisters. Thirty years later, her filmmaker daughter Lina returns with her to journey through the vanished places among the scattered memories of four generations of daring Palestinian women.  

Where Zebus Speak French

This story follows Ly, among Madagascar's last peasant orators. Amid political promises, he defends cultivated land from urban encroachment. His children, aided by his eldest daughter and artists, stage a defining show of farmers' struggles. Manipulating puppets, they aim for mass media attention, turning the film into a powerful tool against manipulation.  

Knit’s Island

In a 250-square-kilometre online community, individuals simulate survival scenarios through avatars. A film crew enters, forming connections with participants who gradually reveal their true selves. Blending virtual experiences with real-life stories, the documentary explores the implications of virtualisation and the evolving nature of human interaction in a digital world.  

The Trial

In 1985 Buenos Aires, the trial of Argentina's last dictatorship unfolds, reminiscent of Nuremberg after WWII. Recorded on U-matic tapes, 90 days reveal testimonies of horror and a final verdict: 'Never Again'. The film delves into defenders, political positions, and victims' voices, narrating tales of torture and pain, encapsulating life and death within a courtroom.  

KIX

KIX chronicles the vibrant life of Sanyi, an adventurous 8-year-old in Budapest, who finds freedom in the city streets. Surrounded by filmmaker friends, he navigates childhood with wild abandon. However, a tragic incident on his 16th birthday thrusts him into the spotlight as a misunderstood youth, caught between youthful recklessness and societal neglect.  

Guapo'y

Celsa covers her skin with roots and leaves from her jungle-like garden. She wants to heal. She still feels prison and torture endured 45 years ago in a concentration camp in Paraguay. However, the past echoes; the country is ruled by the son of the former dictator's right-hand man.  

Crossing Voices

Crossing Voices recounts the adventure of Somankidi Coura, an agricultural cooperative founded in Mali in 1977 by migrant workers from West Africa living in France. The story of this improbable utopia of returning to the country follows a tortuous path that sheds light on the ecological stakes and struggles on the African continent since the 1970s.

Zinzindurrunkarratz

A filmmaker decides to recover the transhumance path that the shepherds in his town used to take to get to the mountains, but he cannot find anyone still alive to tell him the exact route. His idea is also to film it with his family's old super-8 camera but he discovers that, after 41 years of disuse, it no longer picks up sound. The forgotten path and the mute camera will become, along with a donkey called Paolo, the protagonists of a journey full of memories, question marks and silence.

Parallel World

Using video diary footage, Parallel World chronicles the 12-year journey of Elodie, a French-Taiwanese girl with Asperger syndrome. Through Elodie's drawings and clay works, the audience can take a glimpse of her whimsical world. The film, a mother's love letter to her daughter, follows them on a journey of self-seeking and self-recognition.  

International Competition

The mind and body wander around the boundaries of virtuality and reality, surveying the landscape of humanity in the boundless universe. Despite the relentless echoes of past shadows and reverberations, people still try to understand the past through reenactment, heal themselves with flowers and plants, while continuously exploring the (im)possibilities of (not) understanding between you, me, and others. Even if the truth and the future are both enigmatic puzzles, don’t forget to respond with humour in moments of despair.
