Before Love
Igor Kovalyov (Bazelevs)
Russia, 2016, digital, 19'15”

Spoon
Markus Kempken (Enigmation)

Not all childhood memories are nice. Some of them reach out to the present, no matter how much time has passed.

Squame
Nicolas Brault (Nicolas Brault Films)
Canada, 2015, digital, 4'06”

Squame explores the body’s sensitive envelope, the skin. The ephemeral animated desquamations, created with the help of sugar casts, evoke fragile landscapes in a world at the edge of abstraction. Somewhere between archaeological artefacts and macroscopic observations, the friable frontiers of these human bodies elude our gaze.

Decorado
