Competition Programme

As Long as Shotguns Remain
It is warm. The streets are strangely empty. Palm trees are dying and shotguns cry. Joshua wants to die but does not want to leave his brother Maël alone. It is then that he meets the Iceberg gang.

Discipline
It’s 9:30 pm in a grocery store in Lausanne, Switzerland. The place is run by Egyptians. In a moment of anger, a father loses his patience and disciplines his disobedient child. A shocked customer immediately intervenes to express her concern. Other customers join the conversation, each putting in their two cents’ worth and the staff is swamped.

Dissonance
What is reality and what imagination? Who defines the boundaries? A gifted pianist plays the piano. The instrument reflects the pianist’s emotion. A man misses the daughter he is no longer allowed to see. Had the man seen a doctor, however, he would most likely have been diagnosed with a psychosis. He lives on the street. The mother is worried, as the man who was once her husband sinks ever deeper. What kind of world puts a smile on his face, while inspiring nothing but fear in her? The daughter has no fear. All that remains is longing.

Picnic
Sarajevo, rush hour. Accompanied by a social worker, fifteen-year-old Emir is on his way to meet his father Safet for a weekend picnic at Igman, a semi-open penitentiary. Due to the heavy traffic, they are late.

Aïssa
Aïssa, a young Congolese woman living illegally in France, must lie about her age in order to stay on French territory. Through the coldly scrutinising lens of a medical examination, director Trehin-Lalanne probes the deeply personal implications of territorial boundaries that dictate the legality of an individual.
