Opera

Igor Zelic
Croatia / 2026 / 0:19:39


"Opera" is an experimental film that explores perception through a filmic collage constructed with the help of a sin- gle light source. Through layered manipulation of that sin- gle source, the frame gains the rhythm of multiple sources and a play of light that transforms space and perception. This is a film about how an image can conceal reality – and what happens when it can no longer do so. Igor Zelic´ lives and works in Zagreb. He studied Cinema- tography at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb and works in film and television as a cinematographer, director of photography and lighting designer.

Spheres

Martin Gerigk
Germany / 2029 / 0:05:52

Spheres is an homage to life, a poetic essay that drifts through a series of expanding spheres, each revealing a different layer of our shared reality, from the microscopic to the mythical. The film is an exploration of how the smallest vibrations of existence echo outward into the vast architecture of being and cosmos, a breathing meditation designed to remind us of the wonders of our incomprehensibly beautiful world. Spheres invites viewers to look closely, to listen deeply, and to remember that every sphere - no matter how small or vast - is part of one continuous unfolding. The film is an invitation to see life not as a ladder but as a constellation of spheres: interdependent, fragile, and astonishing.

Postmodern Romance

Wheeler Winston Dixon
United States / 2024 / 0:05:14

Postmodernism represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.

Passengers

Kent Tate
Canada / 2025 / 0:08:08


Whenever I travel to places I’ve been to before, places near where I am in the present and places I’ve never been to in the past I’m reminded that nothing stands still and nothing stays the same. I also wonder what the intention was behind the restructuring of this or that in the natural world and what determined the way in which it was expressed. Sometimes it seems clear to me while at other times it doesn't seem clear to me at all. So what will others will see in the future? Will they determine that there was a coherent and considered relationship to the natural world which made our present possible or will they see chaos and competing needs with little or no coherent consideration? Eventually the world we know will disappear and will be replaced by a world we won't recognize even though it will be a world largely adapted and evolved in response to our dreams as well as our nightmares.

Deadeye

They used to place coins on the eyelids of the dead so they could not follow the lives of the living ... surrounded by ocean we find no clear water ... in the absence of fire our soft tissues are burning ... yet our eyes stay open ..." Beginning in March 2025, large areas of South Australian coastal waters have been devastated by a harmful algal bloom, leading to mass mortalities of uncountable numbers of fish, invertebrates and other marine life. The causes are complex but all arise from the unmitigated effects of anthropogenic climate change. This video has been made from images of fish that have been killed by the bloom and washed up on beaches along the eastern side of Gulf St Vincent. The audio was created from samples taken from videos of living fish, crabs and squid recorded at Seacliff beach, South Australia, in January - February 2025, before the bloom hit. The text is what the fish might say to us, if only they could...
