Film Programme

Below is an example of what you can expect:

1. "Marc Jacobs" - DIR: Sam De Jong, 16mins

Nine year old Soufayne lives in Amsterdam Noord and is preparing a trip with his absent Moroccan father. His friends insist he should get a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, but Soufyane would rather wear Marc Jacobs. These amateur actors express their ideas of manhood and male rituals, concepts that come up against hard realities in the suburbs, something that Soufyane painfully learns, as the sun goes down and he turns up at his father's place.

2. "Black Sheep" - DIR: Christian Cerami, 16mins

In the North of England, two adolescent brothers set out to attend an EDL street protest against radical Islam - but will the boys be convinced by the cause's far-right beliefs?

3. "Fallen Leaves" - DIR: Masha Kondakova, 22mins

It's autumn in the outskirts of Kyiv; Valya, a lonely 40 year-year-old caretaker, is burning fallen leaves in the forest. Before long she bumps into a charming stranger who soon manages to seduce his way into her flat. Once inside, Valya becomes a hostage in her own home.

4. "Sound of a Million Insects, Light of a Thousand Stars" - DIR:Tomonari Nishikawa, 2mins

Nishikawa buried 30 metres of 35mm negative film under fallen leaves alongside a country road, about 25km away from the Fukushima Daiich Nuclear Power Station, from the sunset of 24 June 2014 to sunrise the following day. The night was beautiful, with a starry sky, and numerous summer insects were singing loudly. This film was exposed to the possible remains of the radioactive materials.

5. "Oh Lucy!" - DIR: Dr Atsuko Hirayanagi, 22mins

Setsuko, a 55 year old single "office lady" in Tokyo, is given a blonde wig and a new identity - Lucy - by her young, unconventional English instructor. Lucy awakens desires Setsuko never knew she had. When the instructor suddenly disappears, Setsuko must come to terms with what remains - herself.

6. "Best// Petite Noir" - DIR: Travys Noir, 4mins

The video explores how the 'western' world still perceives Africa as a dark continent, largely unknown, exotic and distant. Only through visiting the continent can anyone gain a sense of its split identity; how incredibly and indescribably beautiful it is on the one hand, yet on the other hand, how raw and unforgiving it can be.

7. "Hot Chicks" - DIR: Ninja Thyberg, 14mins

Five girls in a changing room are getting ready to shoot a music video for the tune "Hot Chicks". As they get into character, they discuss their work. Are they being treated as objects or do they consider themselves independent performers?

8. "Yes We Love" - DIR: Halvar Witze, 15mins

Four generations - ten-year- old Birger, war hero Konrad (90), graduation queen Carina (18) and father-of-two Ola (46) - each with their own crisis, set in four different parts of Norway on Norweigian Costitution Day.
