Rok Biček, Croatia, Slovenia, 2021,15'

Two best friends spend an afternoon on a football field, dreaming of making it onto the local team.

Das Spiel The Game
Roman Hodel, Switzerland, 2020, 17'

 A whistle. It gets loud in the spectator stands. The players protest angrily. The commentators follow the action on the field. In the middle of it, the referee. The whole stadium watches him. Now he has to decide.

Normal Normal
Julie Caty France, 2020, 11'

When Dany, a rich heir making up for his existential emptiness by the unbridled consumption of Magic'Powder – a drug with psychedelic and annihilating effects – meets Karl Marx by chance when going through withdrawal, the latter enjoins him to destroy capitalism in order to save the world of men. For better or for worse, Dany yields to his request and turns into a superhero.
