By constantly shifting between past and present, the film explores the fate of an indefinable building, the icon of an ambiguous place suspended between Switzerland and Italy.

In a small village in eastern France, the same gestures are carried on daily. Chopping wood, milking cows, sewing a garment, growing vegetables from the earth. These are all actions repeated from generation to generation, day after day, until bodies are exhausted. Through the figure of his father, the narrator evokes a childhood spent in this village and his relationship to a place where devotion to work is the daily routine of its inhabitants.

A trip to Angkor Wat’s Rosana Broadway Theater and its lady boy performers. The one-hour show goes through the Chinese Empire, Communist Vietnam, Gangnam-style Korea and traditional Cambodia, all embodied in the queer atmosphere of the musical, the outrageous volume of the music, the cross-dressing of the actors and the impeccable mastery of their movements. Although the dancers work 28 days a month, tirelessly reproducing the same gestures, they can barely make ends meet. PRODUCTION AND WORLD RIGHTS: Andrea Film, Zurich www.andreafilm.com

The camera accompanies the Swiss Agility Championship in Kaiseraugst as a silent observer. It tries to capture the complexity of this niche sport and portray it as neutrally as possible. The stressed competitive determination of the masters and mistresses competes with the detached emotions in dogs and humans and together tries to draw an emotional and humorous picture at eye level.

In 1988 the filmmaker lives in NYC, takes photographs, records sounds. The world is in upheaval. One year later, the Berlin Wall falls. The USA becomes the world police. In 2001, the WTC and the Pentagon are attacked. George Bush sends the army to Afghanistan. The slides and sounds from 1988 are charged with world history and images that we have all seen, not only on 9/ 11, and that we cannot forget. Voices and sounds determine the flow of time, the time travel, the slide trip. PRODUCTION AND WORLD RIGHTS: Balzli & Fahrer GmbH, Bern www.balzli-fahrer.ch

A sensory exploration of the forest and the tensions that inhabit it, the film interweaves images of pure chlorophyll and the dense blackness of burnt forests. The dynamics of these cycles of life and death imprinted pictorially on 16 mm film are amplified by a soundtrack articulating sensations of anxiety and appeasement. The film pursues an immersion into natural environments that are seen as metaphors of ourselves.

WHITE SHADOW directed by collectif_fact, Annelore Schneider, Claude Piguet 40
In this speculative fiction, all the photos have suddenly turned into the objects they represent. The video depicts a vertiginous architecture, so devastating that it created borders and isolated people. Piles of selfies, cats, and meals are scattered everywhere. Messages evoke a new society suffering from media saturation, sensory overload, and crushing ecological impact. A world where images have taken over, invading and transforming space.
