For Jina

fragments from song lyrics of different artists have given life to this story about love, loss and desperation.

For about a dozen years, Lizama has traveled to southern Chile during the summer, mainly between the cities of Valdivia and Osorno. Years of observing birds and their collective movements, trees and their swaying, the sea and its rhythm, the rain and its whisper, the mist that turns into fog and the boats that shatter the calm. Memories and lessons embedded in cinematic time, of someone who yesterday embarked on the journey as a stranger and today does so to reach the family home. Starting from a recognizable world, we enter a more dazzling and abstract one, playing with the pixels in the frame. Recorded and (mostly) edited on a cell phone.

Something strange and unpredictable takes inthe mysteriously vacant rooms of Berlin’s infamous Techno club Berghain. A group of wild animals occupy the monumental spaces of the former power station. We explore the building together with the animals and experience its dimensions from a new, nonhuman perspective. The brutality of the industrial architecture is confronted with the beauty of these shy creatures.

Martina and Sonja, cross-dress in vampire capes and werewolf claws, re-enacting familiar horror tropes. A corresponding soundtrack of stock screams and "scary" music suggests that the girls' toying with gender roles and power dynamics may have dire consequences.

An experimental short film from director Luis Zamora, born in the aftermath of the July 2024 protests in Venezuela. An attempt to turn fear, dreams, and fleeting thoughts into images that linger.

Osessione

An introduction to the Spinning Woman: "the spinning is an insistence of self amongst others without conformity." Spinning in urban traffic on busy city streets is seen in relation to concepts of community where "private ideas should not come out." Spinning, an aberrant, potentially turbulent form of motion, is used as a metaphor which allows the unsocialized self to cohere while maintaining a visible, physical, social presence.

An intimate and introspective experimental film in which the author's anxious manias and worries are presented visually, without the need for sound. The movement of her fingers and mouth, both tearing the skin, accompanied by the images of her eyes show that even though it is sometimes involuntary, the author is aware of her manias and because they are present at every moment of her life, they are evident to those around her. Even when conscious, her manias are almost impossible to control, as the body is already programmed to surrender to the internal need to self-mutilate in order to relieve some of the anxiety.

After discovering a stranger’s livestream, a month unfolds under his balcony, through watching and being watched.

Ten years ago, Arjun Singh and Tara Kapoor were inseparable-two young souls lost in love, dreaming of a future together. Their days were filled with laughter, stolen moments, and whispered promises of forever. But forever never came. Now, a decade later, Arjun finds himself in the dead of night, at an almost desolate five-star hotel room, a far cry from the life he once imagined. He is no longer the boy who believed in love-he is a man hardened by crime, preparing for the biggest drug deal of his life, one that could set him free. As the clock strikes 3:33 AM, shadows of the past begin to creep in. He sees glimpses of Tara-her laughter, her touch, her presence-as if time itself is mocking him.

A three-chapter (Hell, Purgatory and Paradise) meditation on the city of Sarajevo in the wake of the Bosnian war, on Palestine and Israel, and on war itself.

In the video art work "MERAHEFET" describes the world of a ghost, from her point of view floating over places that become a spring, a path that suggests a deep longing that is only revealed when the ghost stops for a moment to look out the window. This moment when she manages to take control of it, is flooded with flashes of mirrors that reveal to the viewer and the spirit what motivates her to continue her journey.

The lights and characters of Fortaleza's nightlife blend into a sensory experience through images stored in the memory of the devices.
