International Shorts 3

From the perspective of a window viewer, the buildings become a fond for two intimate stories that are played out for us. With the common human need for connection, deeper feelings, and the right to take part in life's pleasures without shame.

If you've ever wondered what it is like to work as a female chimney sweeper, here's an honest answer. You also get a documentary film craft out of the ordinary about a quiet, slightly different everyday life with a completely different reality from that of the male colleagues.

A woman loses her job as a ticket inspector when the smart card machines arrive. Her lover tries to hassle her to come to the countryside. With the feature film, If Only I Could Hibernate, Zoljargal Purevdash became the first Mongolian director at Cannes this year.

A stroboscopic explosion where meaning is created in the eyes of the beholder. Or in your mind when you lie awake and start to see pomegranate seeds and kaleidoscopes for your inner self. You can also read up on colonialism and an Indian poem called Caurapañcāśikā. If you want.

When the laughter from those around becomes too tangible, the little man sneaks diet pills into his wife's coffee. She senses trouble, revenge is sweet, and once again soon the volleys of laughter are hailing. A film based on a short story here dressed in a lovely animation style.

With the camera as the main character, man's relationship to desire, boundaries, and nature is explored. A woman talks about letting go of control, on the rocks by the sea children play. In the forest, tracks are explored by rabbits, and in the ground. Big rough hands.
