For the first time in the 18-year history of the festival, the selection of films for the main competition was not dependent on the tastes of one person, but instead, the selection was made by a 3-member jury. While choosing the main competition programme, the jury treated each film as an artistic whole, drawing their assessments from the quality of each individual film.
CAT MEETS DOG
Belgium, Canada, Netherlands 2015, 11'
Dir: Paul Driessen
Prod: Il Luster, S.O.I.L., National Film Board of Canada
Cat Meets Dog takes a typical cartoon premise – dogs and cats chasing each other – but plays with our standard expectations in unexpected ways. Four animated stories are simultaneously displayed on the screen wherein we are led and misled to various conclusions.
TANGO
Brazil 2016, 12'
Dir: Francisco Gusso, Pedro Giongo
Prod: Antonio Junior, Francisco Gusso, Pedro Giongo
After years of drought, a mystic potato sprouts in the remote springs of the Aiatak river. Soon, everything will be ready for the great ritual of tango. For the people, this is the beginning of a new era. Inspired by the short story "A Hunger Artist" by Franz Kafka.
INK MEETS BLANK
Poland 2016, 6’
Dir: Tymoni Albrzykowski
The movie is black and white, a rhythmic metamorphosis of abstract geometric forms. Its dramaturgy is built using pure form and evocative music. It has been fully implemented using cameraless techniques, directly onto 35mm film tape.
WAITING FOR THE NEW YEAR
Latvia 2016, 8’
Dir: Vladimir Leschiov
Prod: Lunohod, Vladimir Leschiov
A lonely woman street cleaner's letter to an unknown person, written on the first day of the new year. A year spent observing the seasons and dreaming of a miracle for the following new year.
FATCULA
Estonia 2016, 9’
Dir: Martinus Daane Klemet
Prod: Kalev Tamm
A mystical beauty surgery clinic is built next to a sports club and threatens to ruin the club’s owner. What is going on in this clinic? The solution seems to be inside a bottle of “Fat Burner”.
AU REVOIR BALTHAZAR
Switzerland 2016, 9’
Dir: Rafael Sommerhalder
Prod: Stella Händler
A scarecrow, a storm, a broken leg. The resonant sound of a sea shell. Leaving forever.
WINDOWS
Russia 2016, 8’
Dir: Angella Lipskaya
Prod: SHAR
An absurd story about life behind the windows.
