Touch me (Was bleibt) / Eileen Byrne / Germany / 2018 / 0:20:00
Alice has cancer. She has already lost one breast. And now her hair
starts to fall out. What else will the disease take away from her?
Moritz, her boyfriend, is as overwhelmed by the situation as she is.
The fear of losing each other makes them almost forget the one thing
they can still hang on to: their love ... for each other and for
themselves.

A young Iranian man meets a young Afghan man at a train station.
Oblivious to their respective nationality, they start talking with
each other after sharing a song. And thus, they overcome the conflicts
that plague their homes and they quickly learn that they share one
mutual feeling – loneliness in a foreign country. A native joins the
two men and, without saying or understanding a word, shares his beer
with them. As the young foreign men depart from the station, the
native man is left behind. He, too, shares their loneliness, because
loneliness knows no home. |

In Dog Years I'm Dead / Kenji Ouellet / Germany / 2018 / 0:13:11
Young ballet dancers - not necessarily the typical poster children of
ballet school - comment their training with quotes from known
personalities ranging from Kim Kardashian or Therese of Avila to
Mikhail Baryschnikov. Taking the body politics and the fate of
children in ballet as a starting point, the film raises issues going
beyond the dance world. |

GARDEN OF OTHERS is a powerful dance short film with a strong
viewpoint on how intimacy has changed in our relationships following
the rise of dating apps. We are merely functioning bodies, often
without real desire to connect with someone. We need to wake up!->
Stop swiping, start dancing. |
