Maalbeek Maalbeek
Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis, France, 2020, 15'

Survivor of the attack on Maalbeek metro station on 22 March 2016 in Brussels, Sabine is searching for the missing pieces of an over-mediatised event of which she has no recollection.

Genosse Tito, ich erber Comrade Tito, I Inherit
Olga Kosanović, Germany, Austria, 2021, 27'

Home is complicated, heritage may be a burden, and Tito becomes a symbol of something that once existed – a filmic examination of what remains.

Kazneni udarac Penalty Shot
Rok Biček, Croatia, Slovenia, 2021,15'

Two best friends spend an afternoon on a football field, dreaming of making it onto the local team. However, dreams come with a price: when a group of older boys interrupts their game, one of them sees it as an opportunity to prove himself, while the other one senses something more sinister is at play.

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.
