IN GOOD HANDS

Kezia Zurbrügg, Philipp Ritler
Elveția
13 min.

The lines are busy at the telephone helpline. A life coach records an encouraging video while concerned parents consult a child psychologist. A spectrum of cinematic tableaus shows people trying to counteract the increasing loneliness and create closeness.

A series of painterly vignettes depict various psychologists as they are soothing the callers on the other side of the red line. These people are desperately seeking a solution, but how much does a calming voice really help? There is an underlying message about the need to reconnect in directors’ Kezia Zurbrügg and Philipp Ritler film, but their characters search for connection remains a virtual one – one of the paradoxes of modern technology as a panacea for day-by-day tragedies.​​ (Georgiana Mușat)

CHUTE

Nora Longatti | Durata 20'

A young woman strolls around the city and suddenly collapses to the ground; has she lost her consciousness or is it a performative act? This staggering composition, evoking Michelangelo’s Pietà, is about allowing the body to become a prism for various human interactions.

BABY ANGER

Caroline Poggi, Jonathan Vinel | Durata 13 min.

In this ineffable short gem, an abandoned baby ruminates on the edge of the decadent contemporary world, hopping around buildings and clouds, in a scenery that has never mirrored it. Is there anything left to uncover or love in this world except for discovering food recipes?

NEW GODS

Loïc Hobi | Durata 19 min.

Loïc Hobi’s docu-fictional hybrid revisits the 2014 massacre of Isla Vista, California, when six women were murdered by a male assailant. An artificial intelligence algorithm, cloaked under the haunting mantle of justice, investigates the motivations and frustrations of the killer, by looking at his virtual incel persona, LonerWolf58.
