Mark Lotterman - Happy

France, Netherlands, 2017, Alice Saey

People should be happy. Even this Egyptian goose, who tries to cast a spell on us with a seductive dance. Its gracious and clumsy movements captivate us. But it’s not the only one to master the dance. Three flocks of geese each led by their guru goose also share the pond; all of them torn between their desire to express their own individuality and the urge for group behavior. Soon the water begins to rise. Never mind. The geese will keep on dancing for us until they drown.

A video about the search for ones own identity through seemingly audacious self-expression on the one hand and the undeniable drowning into the masses on the other.

Orogenesis

Spain, France, 2017, Boris Labbé

A trip towards abstraction, a hypothesis on how mountains might have been formed.

A girl struggles to understand the world where she has lost something important.

The Empty

Baltic Premiere

Portugal, 2017, Marta Monteiro

The Tesla World Light

"Tesla: lumière mondiale"

Canada, 2017, Matthew RankinNew York, 1905.

Visionary inventor Nikola Tesla makes one last appeal to J.P. Morgan, his onetime benefactor. Inspired by real events, this electrifying short is a spectacular burst of image and sound that draws as much from the tradition of avant-garde cinema as it does from animated documentary.

Folly

"La Bêtise"

Baltic PremiereCanada, 2016, Thomas Corriveau

Two characters meet and confront each other in a merciless battle. The story, loosely inspired by Goya’s series of etchings “The Disasters of War”, is revealed through a profusion of black and white images, brief gestures repeated in an obsessive and hypnotic manner.

Manivald

Estonia, Croatia, Canada, 2017, Chintis Lundgren

Manivald, a fox, is turning 33. Overeducated, unemployed and generally uninspired, he lives with his overbearing, retired mother. It is an easy life, but not a good one. This unhealthy co-dependence changes when the washing machine breaks down and Toomas, a sexy wolf repairman, arrives to fix it, and them.

My Father's Room

"아버지의 방"

Baltic PremiereSouth Korea, 2016, Nari Jang

She was abused by her father during childhood. Since he left, the pain and anger had begun to fade. One day, unexpectedly, she was struck by a revelation about her father's life that cast her feelings about him into confusion.
