SUNDAY LOVERS (SWITZERLAND)
BY JANNIK GIGER, GREGOR BRÄNDLI
– BELGIAN PREMIERE –
It is the spirits of past art forms and success principles that haunted in Sunday Lovers: the seductive sound of an instrument, the passionate Expression in the game, a large-scale form with exposure, recapitulation and ecstatic finale. In erotic, dreamy, wistful fantasies, they seek us home, try to seduce us and for a short, remote moment, to regain their attractiveness and youth.
Experimental Film // duration: 12:00
NO ONE MISSES ME! (GERMANY)

Documentary Short Film // duration: 28:34
PATRIOSKA (PORTUGAL) BY TIAGO ARAÚJO
