- DirectorPierre-Yves VandeweerdIn military terminology, INNER LINES are parallel routes near the enemy lines, enabling evasion. Around Ararat, "the white centre" that illuminates "the darkest times", they are used by messengers and their carrier pigeons to connect the communities scattered by conflict. Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd continues his powerful political and poetic body of work (LES TOUMENTES, LES ETERNELS) with this film shot in 16mm between Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey and Nagorno-Karabakh. Remaining faithful to a formal approach blending the outline of the film-image with the asynchronous sonic off-camera - harrowing testimonies, biblical narrative, whispered secrets, political discourses and rants, close or distant explosions -, he walks alongside Yazidis or Armenians ravaged by the insatiable Moloch of war. Voices bring humanity to bleak landscapes, bodies lean over to listen to age-old stones laden with memories and gazes burn with inextinguishable inner sorrow. Vandeweerd remains the essential and exacting filmmaker-geographer of lost territories.

- DirectorJano BurmesterJano loses his memory at the age of 13 due to a car accident.

Looking for dates, a lost memory, a home, a before and after.
- DirectorJorge JácomeStarsMilton BrancoAlexis FernandesDiogo FreitasSuper Natural is a film that talks and listens, that interferes and seeks out those who are beholding it. Its desire is to abandon the screen, to take a look at those who look at it, and listen to them, but also to be smelled and seen beyond what is being seen. Super Natural is a transcendent experience occurring outside of the body, of all bodies, but particularly of one's own. It is like a super-power and, in this movement, it focuses on the image, a sensitive existence one intends to speak with. That is why this film aspires, in a speculative gesture, to activate an effect, a hypothetical relaxation, a sensory experience for those who are off the screen as if they were on it.

- DirectorMawena YehouessiStarsMoaamed BambaKourouma FamansaTrinidad Enzema Momdjoaa cinematographic and multimedia collage project by Mawena Yehouessi, whose ambition is to generate new contexts of co-creation as synonyms of alternative modes of coexistence. From script writing to filming, post-production and distribution, the film is an invitation to over fifty artists, researchers, students, and amateurs to retrace altogether-in a poetic and speculative way-the Myth of "Lascar." The term Lascar is said to come from Persian, meaning "army." It was notably used during the 19th century to designate South East Asian native soldiers enrolled by the European colonial forces at sea. In the 1990s in France, Lascar has become a contemptuous qualifier, referring to 2nd and 3rd generation French BIPOC kids from the suburbs-from their daily struggles to their knowledge-making. As such, Lascar appears as both the epicene symbol and symptom of ghosted heredities as much as a fictitious role-model to youth standing on the edges of artistic, academic, media-related, and state-related institutional spaces. The film triggers fugitive modes of narration, representation, and co(n)generation in a post-internet world, and incites some of the viewers to reclaim its collage methodology and tell their own (Afrofuturist) stories-both in content and in form.

The contrast with their living conditions at home, and the huge difference between the lives of rich and poor in Portugal in this period, made a deep impression on the young Austrians.
