različni avtorji / various / 75 min

A programme of the best animated shorts from around the world, programmed to give you a thorough insight into the latest developments and trends in auteur animation, including many award-winners from some of the leading international festivals.

Our Pain
Shunsaku Hayashi (independent)
Japan, 2023, 16'10"

Our common pain, although experienced individually and uniquely, is what connects us. It is the ambiguity and variety of our existence that allows us to imagine an infinity of variables. Some of these alternatives may be malignant, and some benign.

Still Life with Woman, Tea and Letter
Tess Martin (Volya Films)
Netherlands, 2022, 2'14" 

A photograph is a window into the past, but sometimes, the border between past and present is not entirely clear. This stop-motion animation invites us to think about our relationship to time, by portraying one woman caught in the middle.

Via Dolorosa
Rachel Gutgarts (Miyu Productions)
France, 2023, 10'35"

Between drug addictions, first discoveries of sexuality and constant state of war, the filmmaker seeks her own lost youth, loitering Jerusalem’s hardcore streets.

Priyo Ami / Dear Me
Suchana Saha (Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute)
India, 2022, 3'40"

A film about a woman who is in search of herself. She discovers unpleasant truths, childhood traumas and deals with her fragmented reality. It is a journey of discoveries about loneliness, madness and emptiness within herself and how she comes to terms with it.

Quase me Lembro / Almost Forgotten
Dimitrije Mihajlović, Miguel Lima (BAP - Animation Studio)
Portugal, 2023, 9'05"

A woman wanders through the impermanence of her childhood memories, trying to rebuild the story of the house where her grandfather lived.

Obok / Outside
Izabela Plucinska (Claytraces)
Gemany, 2023, 4'50"

The coal-drawn film Outside tells the story of domestic violence.

Hadis
Nazrin Aghamaliyeva (Animafilm Studio/Azerbaijan Cultural Society of Northern California)
Czechia, Azerbaijan, USA, 2023, 9'20"

In a world ruled by crows and discrimination, a young girl decides to fight for justice.

泡 / Soaked In
Shiyu Tang (East China Normal University)
China, 2022, 4'45"

In a humid and warm place, I existed.

The whitewashed "gender selection" takes place in two different spaces, where satisfaction and despair mingle.

Ce qui bouge est vivant / Whatever Moves Is Alive
Noémie Marsily (Zorobabel)
Belgium, 2022, 11'

While slugs wander across the kitchen floor, Noémie draws up her self-portrait, shifting and fragmented, on the edge between the intimate and the hubbub of the world.

Beautiful Figures
Soetkin Verstegen (independent)
Switzerland, Belgium, 2023, 4'01"

Thoughts ripple over the pages of a personal notebook, kept during a stay at different science labs in Zürich. They float from one to another, like a mind map of unfinished ideas on memory, medical imaging, cells, and aging.

Bong Joon Ho

Sunday, 24. 08. 2025 / 19:00 / Main Hall

Six years after Parasite, Korean director Bong Joon-ho is back with another biting satire (this time set in the distant future) with Robert Pattinson shining in the leading role(s). Its unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. »Combining the best parts of Snowpiercer and Okja into something new, this warm and wonderful film suggests that Bong loves people even more than he hates capitalism.« – IndieWire.

Additional Screening

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Monday, 25. 08. 2025 / 18:00 / Main Hall

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
