Nejc Trampuž - Rooted in Code (trailer) (13:23 (01:02))
Production: Nejc Trampuž, 2023

Appealing to all ages, the film speculates on the degraded state of the environment, nature and the ecosystem in the future, but at the same time presents a utopian vision and solutions to the environmental crisis.

The artwork offers an unconventional perspective to contemporary discourses about energy by creating and reclaiming a space for nonconceptual, body-centred, aesthetic and intuitive approaches of inhabiting the world. Such counter-position cultivates more b...

Lea Culetto - Leftovers (03:55)
Subtitle: The Beginning
Production: SAiR, MGLC Ljubljana, 2024
Hair. Valued as long as it is alive. As long as it grows on the appropriate parts of the body. Desired as long as it has the right colour, texture, thickness, shape and length. As long as it is tamed. As long as it does not fall out. Unwanted if dead. It evokes unpleasant feelings, shame and even disgust. Except intentionally removed hair. The first cut lock of a child’s hair in a memory book. A strand of hair from an absent loved one in a locket. It becomes an object that transcends the material...

Jatun Risba - Beautiful Idea (trailer) (08:18 (01:35))
Production: Jatun Risba, Franco G. Livera, 2024
When a tree falls, the motion disturbs the air, causing ripples that radiate far away. The event gets incorporated into the wheel of life (bhavachakra). Beautiful idea depicts a surreal resurrection from a tree tomb of the mythical “forest woman” (Fauna, Baba Yaga, Forest Mother). Her slow-paced walk along the trunk of a huge fallen tree represents a dreamlike journey blending myth, memories of our departed loved ones, and haunting visions of what awaits us all one day. Beautiful idea is a poeti...

Sasha Ihnatovich - Not Go Gentle (05:27)
Production: Aliaksandra Ihnatovich, 2022
Not Go Gentle uncovers the hidden wounds of quiet landscapes, where picturesque villages conceal histories of violence and the suffering inflicted by humans upon one another. Based on real accounts of people crossing borders in search of safety and peace, the film confronts the reality of humiliation, torture, and systemic rejection. Through dreamlike imagery and restrained narration, it explores the darkness guarded by hope—and the strength of those who, despite everything, refuse to surrender. A poe...
