Soetkin Verstegen (Soetkin Verstegen/The Animation Workshop)

Jo Goes Hunting: Careful
Alice Saey (Miyu Productions/De Nieuwe Oost)
France, Netherlands, 2020, 3'58''

On the borderless map of a magical planet, little beings pick, brush, weave, fish and collect elements from their natural environment to sustain their life as a group. This essential balance turns to chaos once they misuse their findings to polish their individual appearance.

Hammam

On the evening of the summer dance everyone in the village is present. From dusk until

Average Hapiness
Maja Gehrig (Langfilm)
Switzerland, 2019, 7'02''

During a PowerPoint presentation, statistical diagrams are breaking free from the straitjackets of their coordinates. A trip into the sensual world of statistics begins. Pie charts are melting, arrow diagrams twisting, scatter plots, bar graphs and stock market curves join in a collective climax.

Maja Gehrig (Swiss Effects)
Switzerland, 2009, 35 mm, 5’20”

Two wooden dolls are having sex on a sandpaper. By the constant change of positions, they sand themselves off by rubbing the floor. The mood varies between wrestling and amorous play. Finally, the love act turns into a race against time.

Wisdom of Happiness Wisdom of Happiness

Barbara Miller, Philip Delaquis

Friday, 19. 09. 2025 / 16:00 / Main Hall

With disarming wit, the Dalai Lama reflects on balancing millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions with the contemporary values of our globalised society that now struggles to overcome violence and war while standing on the brink of environmental collapse.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

Igor Bezinović

Friday, 19. 09. 2025 / 18:00 / Main Hall

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
