the shore by Eirini Tampasouli (Greece)
the shore was shot in the northern part of Syros Island, where access is possible only by walking. I stayed there for some days, sleeping outside, completely alone.

Soylent Green by Patrycja Toczek (France)
In the video, Patrycja films the painful banality of an everyday love, between two or more people, would they be artists, muses, statues, or all at once. Callas sings about the difficulties of feeding the flame with the ashes of a burning society, while Patrycja gets tender with her subjects, placing them outside of the gender binary and inside of an emotional storm that eventually becomes the only topic that matters. Diamanda Callas is in drag and out of drag without trying to stage any focus around their gender identity, while Patrycja Toczek focuses on the real and only drama at play: the baroque and mundane story of a fading love.
Useful by Paloma Vázquez (Spain)
Freedom is when we talk about ourselves without the others. When we find ourselves, empty, in uncertainty looking for a place that belongs to us, which contains an ocean turned into shifting lands by lack of water. Because we don’t breathe, we just swallow.
We feel ourselves in nature, we talk in solitude.
Waiting by Lucio Massa (Italy)
A mysterious woman is waiting for her destiny.
Selfportrait by Maria Kazvan (Ukraine)
I always think about death. Realizing the fact that we all are going to die gives me power to move and fight my fears.
I was made with clay that became alive. Then, this clay will die. I was made out of clay and will be turned to dust again.
I am Earth. I can create new life too. I am passion, ideas, energy, sex. My body grows, blooms. My body is changing while I am alive. It will continue changing after my death. Therefore, it is dying all the time.
When I die my body will continue changing. They will give chance to other types of life, like bugs and worms, bacterias. Every type of my physical being is creating life.
Conclusion is – everything around is life and is alive. Even death is life.
Neoidilio by Blas Zanella (Argentina)
What do two become when there is no possibility of being one?
The passage of time in confinement mutates them without consent. They are already from the future, but they don’t know it yet.
Their bodies cannot get out. And their minds? His emotions? They run away and manifest themselves as best they can, trying to escape that past, outside. But no. Indoors. They keep bonding. This is no time to leave that home.
Perestroika by Lars Kollros (Austria)
A film about playing with the earth, playing with the earth and playing with gender. Devoted to all people who dared to transit or practice playing with gender on a daily basis and all people that cannot imagine a transition at all. An earthy illustration of a metamorphosis.
