Strim

Aleksander Johan Andreassen, 2017, Norway, 19’, OV (nor.) + ES + eST

In Strim we join Sigrid in search of her missing cat, Liv. During the search, her inner monologue turns outwards, both in terms of movement and action. She collides and progresses from interactions with the society that surrounds her. Will she ever find her cat?

The Train, the Forest

Patrick Buhr, 2017, Germany, 3’, no dialogues

We are looking at the landscape darting behind a train window and trying to bring near and distant tree branches into optical order while walking through the forest. The thrill of the speed and the chaos of the lines are confusing, leaving behind the sketches of what is and of what imagination can combine out of fleeting sensory data. Cracking an electronic whip, Patrick Buhr pushes hand-drawn lines into the third dimension. André Eckardt, DOK Leipzig 2017.

The Separate System

Katie Davies, 2017, Great Britain, 23’, OV (eng.) + ES + eST

While examining spaces between military, custody and ‘civilian’ life through the notion of work, The Separate System communicates what we do not understand about the unique set of relationships shared by individuals inhabiting these spaces.

Call of Cuteness

Brenda Lien, 2017, Germany, 4’, no dialogues

“While we watch the ‘cat fail’ of the day in cheerful safety, all that remains invisible in this neoliberal nightmare catches up with us,” said Brenda Lien of her debut film. “The cat’s body is consumed, exploited and controlled. The fear of pain is greater than the will for freedom. Objects are fetishized and subjects are made into things – quantifiable and ready for use. They are the natural commodity for a luxury they are not even aware of.”

Retuš | Retouch

Kaveh Mazaheri, 2017, Iran, 20’, OV (perz.) + ES + eST

Maryam first tries to help him but then she decides to stand by and watch him die.
