45th Parallel (Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: Lawrence Abu Hamdan)
A monologue is performed in a building that inhabits the thickness of a borderline, telling stories of permeable borders and impermeable laws, reflecting on how free movement, free knowledge and free space are under threat.
All The Things You Leave Behind (Country: Thailand; Year: 2022; Director: Chanasorn Chaikitiporn)
Using archival and contemporary images, All the Things You Leave Behind presents an analysis of a little-known history of 20th-century Thailand, starting with the monarchy’s decision to open the country to the U.S. army during the Vietnam war.
Balls (Country: Serbia, Slovenia; Year: 2022; Director: Gorana Jovanović)
Football stadiums have long been the designated places for the escalation of conflicts and every incident during a football match makes for a fire-starting headline. Meanwhile, the armies of six former Yugoslav republics have been getting together every year for over a decade, for a futsal tournament in the name of peace, in almost complete media silence.
Yarokamena (Country: Colombia; Year: 2022; Director: Andrés Jurado)
Yarokamena, a Uitoto indigenous person, organised resistance to rubber exploitation in the Amazonas. He invokes the spiritual and cosmic forces of war, releasing its destructive power from its container creating a spiral of betrayal and death.
