MARIA'S SILENCE
Director: Cesare Bedogne
Countries: Italy/Greece, Running Time: 38 min
This experimental film is based on documentary material but is not, strictly speaking, a documentary film. Nor is it a work of fiction. It appeared like a dream, not a nocturnal dream, but one which unfolded day by day while shooting. The film is also a meditation on the elements, Water and Fire, Wind, Earth and Skin.

SALT WATER
Director: Abe Abraham
Country: USA, Running Time: 6 min
Dance-film set to the seismographic recordings of the earth's vibrations.

SUI GENERIS
Director: Erin Pollock
Country: USA, Running Time: 15 min
Animated clay sculptures battle their egos and struggle to communicate. They may suffer physical and emotional imperfections but, like humans, theyre in a constant state of transformation. Destroying and rebuilding, again and again, this mud grows into ever new iterations. The process can be cruel and absurd, but empathy always creeps in to allow for tender moments of connection.

WOMAN OF LIFE
World Premiere
Director: Alif Areca Sankey
Country: UK, Running Time: 12 min
