Where Is the Centre?
2025
The "center" is a metaphor for urban dehumanization. All movements of people and objects, all developments revolve around an empty illusion. Robots drift through the ruins in the deep sea, representing the collapse of the center and psychological alienation in a performance-oriented society. The film is the filmmaker's abstract response to the urban reality of her ever-growing hometown of Beijing.Blickduell mit Pferd während die Welt vor die Hunde geht

Someone lies in bed staring at the ceiling—at a framed picture of a horse that proclaims with stoic confidence: "You can do anything." Becoming an adult for the first time. Is this what it feels like? The room remains motionless, the voice-over unfolds a stream of thoughts. Fragmented observations and reflections on life, dreams, and resistance. The daily struggle for survival in a fragile world between longing and powerlessness, stagnation and movement.Subscribe to Remove the Watermark: What Makes Us Alike or Different?
2025
Commercially operated AI image generators reveal their hidden logic in the shimmering choreography of loading bars, confirmation windows, and beauty filters. Between gamification and advertising banners, the camera switches between the feverishly typed prompts of an invisible user and the AI-generated portraits. Algorithmic promise and lived uncertainty of the digital black box. A field of tension between the visible and the hidden, between conformity and difference, in which creativity must be renegotiated.Real-KI

No technology has caused as much of a stir in recent years as artificial intelligence. However, understanding what AI is depends on the perspective of the observer. A short film attempts to describe a realistic perspective on this phenomenon. Therefore, the film's presentation refers to the actual form of AI: individual lines of code.Hinterland

Hinterland
2025
What happens when humanity fails to learn from its mistakes? Fairytale images, symbols, and transformations speak to show the past as a living resonance chamber. "Once upon a time" becomes a touchstone for the present. Fairy tales with motifs of loss, transformation, and rescue form a cultural echo that extends beyond childhood. At the center is a dialogue with photographer Gerty Deutsch. Based on her images, Catrine Val developed a new, cinematic-poetic language in which singing becomes the ultimate form of expression—where words no longer suffice.The Thrilling Ones

The Thrilling Ones
2025
Four friends whose lives have taken them in different directions meet again. United once more, they enjoy the time together, reminiscing about past adventures and talking about their current jobs, love lives, problems, and dreams. In the process, painful memories resurface, and injuries, wounds, and scars become visible. Over several years, Elsa Deshors films the meetings with her friends - a film like a road trip that shows us how difficult it is to be a female read person, and how friendship, mutual understanding, and support help us to come to terms with the past and find a way towards the future.EMDR-Talk about Trees
2025
"What kind of times are these, when talking about trees is almost a crime? Because it implies silence about so many misdeeds!" Bertolt Brecht from the poem "To Those Born After," written in exile in Denmark between 1934 and 1938. A poetry film.Os Retornados

Inspired by The Odyssey and with Áurea's unique touch, the film tells the story of the journey home, as a powerful metaphor for the agency's return from the Canary Islands to A Coruña.Hydra

Hydra
2025
Clay-covered bodies squeeze through narrow rock passages. Sparingly lit by their helmet lamps, they blend in with the sediment-covered cave walls. The film accompanies a group of cave explorers and looks at their different motives for venturing into the inaccessible depths. In the farthest corners of the "Windloch" cave, discovered in 2019, lies a chamber filled with bizarre, delicate aragonite crystals. The most extraordinary of these is called "Hydra" by its discoverers.Digital Artifacts

Digital Artifacts
2025
Between memory and the digital realm, we create ghosts: of people around us and of ourselves, in long-forgotten game worlds that now lie dormant on hard drives. These ghosts haunt worlds that are slowly decaying and fading away. Human connections crumble if they are not nurtured—just like our memories and our data. The internet has claimed that it never forgets, but that's not true: it forgets very quickly. Our digital world is transient, even if we hardly want to admit it.sick home

In the Animal's Skin
2025
In a dream, the artist transforms into an animal and crosses unnoticed through the forest at the border fence between Poland and Belarus. There she encounters her grandmother—silent and close. The poetic video work combines personal memory with political reflection and shows how transformation can express longing, fear, and resistance at the same time.This Arrow Points

Rushing electronic sound accompanied by flickering, flickering black-and-white lines; abstract configurations that move to the rhythm of the sound, faster and faster, then slower again. Hypnotic and intoxicating, they create an ecstatic cinematic event in the style of Fruhauf.Igitte Sisters

2025
Since the 1980s, twin sisters Yvonne and Susy Klos have been enriching the Munich punk scene with their electro-Dadaist performances. Their work is directed against right-wing ideologies, social brutalization, and the normalization of authoritarian thinking, and is satirical, radical, and anarchic. The film accompanies the twins for three days around the federal elections in February 2025—a moment when political alliances between the CDU and AfD provoke public outrage and protests across the country. A portrait of two artists whose view of the world is rebellious yet permeable to contradictions.High-Rise Pigs

While the eyes seek protection and comfort, agents of homogenization are silencing those who speak out. In this climate of radical silence and ignorance, the narrator describes the various muscles that people use to turn away from what they encounter. Meanwhile, the images intertwine. They resemble bodies whose muscles are capable of stretching beyond the edges of the image, resisting and challenging the authority of the seemingly factual and neutral narrative.Dream in Dream
