International session 1

In a near future, the city of La Habana is occupied by foreign armed forces. A visit guided by Lázaro, a ghetto boy, allows us to understand the chaos that reigns in the heart of the capital.

“The telegraphist sold all my secrets, put them on show, put them on show.” A music video about old and new information chaos.

Sergio, a 16-years-old shy boy, is moving to Brazil with his parents this very afternoon. But before leaving he has taken a decision: to declare his love to Ana, his best friend’s girlfriend.

Portrait is a slow and surreal video slide show of nightmarish, grotesque and apparently static cha­racter.

An afternoon at the edge of a large film set so­mewhere out in the sticks in rural France. A trai­nee takes up his position. He is responsible for blocking off the street while filming is in process and reopening it to traffic as soon as the take is over. His only connection to the set is via walkie-talkie. He begins to get bored.

In an abandoned insane asylum, in a surreal and disturbing atmosphere, some young patients, for­ced to medical visits with pliers and scalpels, su­ffer weird mutations with unstoppable processes which will bring them to folly.

A day in the life of Mr. Istvan and Mrs. Magdi, two old neighbours, is told by the building block where they both live in Budapest. The walls surrounding them reveal their little passions, stories and daily routines.

A child who ceases to be a child, a mother that goes away forever and a father that never stops possessing her, even in the great beyond. La Galli­na is a persistent desire, a devastating routine that causes an illness that becomes death.
