by Pamela Breda

Pamela-Breda_Landscape-Becoming-Landscape_Still-281-29.tif

natural landscapes and place them

blurs into each other.

Bite is a filmic reverie in homage to the writer-gravedigger Tico, who in a marginal life, searches for an aesthetic and political inspiration.

Ulaanbaatarization (2017, Mongolia, 3’)

by Zulaa Urchuud

1117448

In the 1970s Socialist era Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian urban mentality took shape. Originally nomads, Mongolians had to adapt to the urban livelihood and environment, thus the special kind of urban mentality was originated. This change from nomadic way of life to the urbanized life still influences Mongolian people’s mind now. As a woman, who was born and raised in Ulaanbaatar, I tried to express these feelings about the changing mentality which cannot be conveyed through words.

Lick Every Drop (2019, Argentina, 6’)

by Moira Lacowicz & Leonardo Zito

735617208_960

In 2015, 4 8mm reels with hardcore pornographic films from the 60s were found in a tipper from the Federal Capital. In 2019 we intervened with sulfuric acid and caustic soda. The emulsion is it expands and contracts with the bodies, merging with each other until it is totally abstracted. A duel between the censorship and the explicit.

Volcano Bathtub (2019, Spain. 10’)

by Jorge Nunez

Screenshot-2019-08-15-17.07.29-282-29

After the filming of a movie, Clara Moreno, her friend Robot and her dog Katalina go on holiday to a cabin in the country side. The Friends talk about their next movie, the volcanos and its Waters, the nymphs of the tales, the glitter that doesn't pollute.

GREEK PROGRAM

My birthday's sky (1998, 8’)

by Makis Faros

vlcsnap-2019-08-15-17h35m33s851

“My birthday's sky” is a submerging into the unconscious. It fixates on the suspension of desire's fulfillment in the face of Law. It follows its trail from intensification to suppression, right up to the amputation of urges that derive from desire.

“My birthday's sky” marks a course, a passage that may lead to sublimation or perversion.

θα φάμε πάπια./ [We will eat duck] (2019, 2’)

by Marina Fragkioudaki

This is a small fragment of my documenting of the family-ar reprocessing of decay, the biological squalor and guilted innocence of the way we were.

by Kostis Charamountanis
