Handsy
One hand is introduced to an oily orgy of sorts. After all, hands-on lessons are usually the best. And often the most fun.
Intimité Révélée
A short dance film for queer people, with queer people, about queer people.The dance film centers around the beauty and normalcy of queer intimacy, and follows three queer couples as they navigate intimacy in public and private settings.“In a dance world that continues to operate in a binary way and driven by heteronormative stories, iconography, and esthetics, “Intimité Révélée” intends to show scenes of intimacy between queer couples through dance, to normalize what queer love could look like on stage and in dance film. This work provides representation for LGBTQIA+ community in dance film.The dancers show slice-of-life moments that seem ordinary for cisgender heteronormative couples, but are unfortunately perceived by wider society as abnormal for queer people. At a time when LGBTQIA+ rights are attacked on all fronts, this film intends to show the humanity and harmless normalcy of queer people evolving in a world that is still hostile to them.”– Lorris Eichinger
One-Week Stand
A free-spirited, mysterious woman on a week-long trip to San Francisco meets a hopeless romantic woman, born and raised in San Francisco. After a bit of flirtation, the first woman proposes a deal: she can get a tour guide, and in exchange, she'll be the other's girlfriend.Seven days. No commitment, no exchanging information, no pictures, and a clean break.Can they make it through the week with their hearts still intact by the end of it?
Weree
Having fled the Liberian civil war, renowned self-taught artist Johnson Weree is seeking asylum in the Netherlands where he lives undocumented and without a fixed address. Haunted by the horrors of his past, he draws bright-coloured otherworldly portraits, whilst longing for a brighter future.
fruits into vegetables
A boys cringey joke triggers his father to set off on a spontaneous canoe trip and reveal a meaning that hits close to home.
Lock It Up
On a film set with a troubled director, ripples become waves that throw the whole crew off course. Will they find their way, or is individualism the enemy of collective action? Witness action-packed inaction in action!
Through Thin Ice
Along the shores of the Great Salt Lake, a scientist’s twilight run is upended when her dog plunges through rare lake ice, catalyzing a desperate series of choices. After an improbable rescue, she questions whether she always makes rational decisions. Told from two perspectives, the film explores how we assess risks, make decisions, and the role of chance.
