500,000 years | 500,000 Pee

Chai Siris, 2016, Thailand, 15’, no dialogues

17 years ago, Homo erectus fossils were found at the archaeological site in Lampang. Nowadays, nobody cares about this scientific discovery anymore, except for some locals who occasionally use it for spiritual activities. But one evening when an outdoor cinema truck screens a film at the site as an offering to an ancient ghost, something unexpected happens. The film was produced by Kick the Machine Films, the studio of acclaimed artist and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Brazuca

Faidon Gkretsikos, 2017, Greece, 19’, OV (gr.) + ES + eST

During the football world championship in Brasil, 11-year-old Boyko will do anything to obtain the so-called Brazuca, the official World Cup ball, to stop his football friends from using him only as a goalkee- per. Starring a charismatic lead actor, the film paints a beautiful, naturalistic sketch of summer, Greek street football, and boyhood rivalry.

High Cities of Bone | Altas Cidades de Ossadas

João Salaviza, 2017, Portugal, 18’, OV (port.) + ES + eST

Born in Pedreirados Húngaros, a slum on the outskirts of Lisbon, Karlon is the pioneer of creole rap on the run from the housing project to which he has been relocated. He spends sleepless nights in sweltering tropical heat. Among the sugar canes, a rumour arises but Karlon doesn’t stop singing. The film is a probing and imaginative exploration of Karlon’s memories, the institutional siege, and the submerged stories from dark times.

Saint Hubert / Saint Hubert

Jules Comes, 2017, Belgium, 20’, OV (flam.) + ES + eST

For many years Werner Schönwald, a heart-and-soul forester, has taken care of the oldest nature preserve in Belgium. When a large-scale search is carried out by the police, the peace and quiet in the forest is severely disrupted and Werner feels hunted down on his home turf. The main character is beautifully rendered by one of Belgium’s leading stage and film actors, Wim Opbrouck.
