Welcome to a world of infinite possibilities, where films engage directly with the very essence of cinema. Here, different mediums intersect, overlap, and evolve, while editing becomes a true playground, a space for deconstruction, transformation, and reinvention. Like a bewitching manifesto for analogue cinema, La dureté du mental draws on Soviet archival footage of wrestling and pole vaulting, transforming physical exertion into a powerful cinematic gesture. In Film de roche, we explore the meeting point of metal and stone, celebrating the strength, precision, and agility of expert climbers. In Their Eyes, viewers are immersed in a sensory experience that is as mesmerizing as it is unsettling, exposing the human exploitation behind the massive collection of data used to feed artificial intelligence systems. Set within the fictional metropolis of Los Santos (inspired by Grand Theft Auto), Someone to Steal Horses With follows a wandering horse reflecting on language and identity as it roams through valleys and railways of an outlaw universe. With The Rabbit Always Dies, a series of facts as surprising as they are disturbing is revealed about the invention of pregnancy tests. Finally, Xiaogao Gonna Die LONELY explores the motivations of a young woman willing to do anything to avoid confronting loneliness. This program invites imagination to run wild, as filmmakers push the boundaries of formal experimentation while exploring themes that are as rich and varied as they are daring.
