Sensus

A classic study of a hand, drawn with charcoal on canvas, starts moving.
It is a reflection and amazement about what we feel, sense, form, realize and effect and about who we are.
A calm and touching film that leaves a lot of space to trace one’s own thoughts, in a certain way archaic but also aesthetic and virtuoso.
Directed by Evelyn Kreinecker (Austria)

Star Gel

Going back home to your folks like entering a time that’s solid. Time like reclinable chairs stacked in a room. Like jelly. Falling back into it slowly.
Directed by Candelaria Saenz Valiente (Argentina)
