  • Eternal You

    dir. Hans Block, Moritz Riesewieck
    dok

    Who has the right to dispose of the traces we leave in the digital world? Can we forbid the creation of our posthumous, partly self-aware avatars from these crumbs? Moritz Riesewieck and Hans Block examine attempts at recreating the dead. Undertaken on the fringes of the mainstream today, they may become part of everyday life tomorrow.

    dir. Janina Księska

    A psychedelic parade of bizarre creatures is proceeding rhythmically towards a red tower in the middle of nowhere.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is collapsing. In a deserted mountain village, shots and explosions are audible, along with dark smoke, which can be seen. Almost all the inhabitants have already fled, except for Aram. He is trying to save his disabled mother, who refuses to leave. The Azerbaijani army is close and the time to make a decision is shrinking.

    dir. Susanna Flock, Adrian Jonas Haim, Jona Kleinlein
    anim2025

    Employing the style of popular video games, such as FIFA, PGA Tour and Dirt Rally, this animation tackles issues that go far beyond sports arenas. Each of the protagonists struggles not only with their rivals but also emotions, expectations and spectators, who constantly judge the players. Is this game about scoring points only?

  • Zima

    dir. Tomek Popakul, Kasumi Ozeki
    anim2023

    A cat lover, Jesus leaving the cross and Christmas carollers holding pitchforks in a snowy and icy scenery. ‘Zima’, a psychedelic journey to a small fishing village, collects as if in a lens the behaviour, customs and vices of the Polish provinces. A horror-like animation in the convention of magic realism.
