Sinopsys: Reading the Genesis has always surprised me. In fact, I don't a more eloquent description of the creation process than of the Old Testament. I took inspiration from these verses to create a film made of emotional states and sensory landscapes from drawn movements. |

O
 |
Country: Austria, France Year: 2021 Duration: 5 mins. |
Sinopsys: A dancer as filmmaker refrains from superfluous movement in a villa in Brittany, giving way to an individual as well as social state described by the French philosopher Paul Virilio as “polar inertia”. Frame by frame by frame, Paul Wenninger makes the rounds standing still, in an initially completely empty salon, with his back perpetually turned to the walls – and above all, to the windows. A stormy time seems to fly by while the relationship between outside and inside gets shaken up. A hypnotic film about time, space, change and bodies in collectivity.

The Blind Writer
 |
Country: Greece Year: 2021 Duration: 10 mins. |
Sinopsys: The drawings of this film were made blindfolded, that is, without looking at them while drawing, but using only tactile cues. This challenge reflects a blind writer’s dilemmas facing ideological questions and supposed universal certainties. Maybe his blindness is more metaphorical than real. After all, what does “see” mean? Does what we see, the appearance of things, reflect reality? In a world where visual communication has become especially significant, how can one discern what is substantial? |
