A dandelion flower to blow desires. The double time bourrée dance is full of romantic and loving meanings, it is almost a theatrical transposition of dynamics of seduction. The dancers come close, reaching towards each other, then they turn away, find and avoid each other, without ever touching. The dandelion flower is the spring oracle. The legend says that the lovers give their wishes to the flower and then blow them away to make them come true. The soundtrack is made by Julia Kent: a contemporary bourrée based on the traditional structure. https://player.vimeo.com/video/206366846?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/155/bullet-time-2016 2023-07-21T11:56:57.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/bullet.jpg Bullet Time - short film by Frodo Kuipers A desolate street in a small village in the Old West.

We also meet her grown son, Colin, a techno geek, her husband, Ifor, now Beryl’s model and muse, and her sister, Beverly, a fanatical narcissist living in LA. Affairs of the Art provides glimpses into Beryl’s, Beverly’s and Colin’s peculiar childhoods, and we see that obsession is in this family’s DNA. The first co-production between Beryl Productions International and the National Film Board of Canada, Affairs of the Art features Quinn’s signature hand-drawn animation with attitude and Mills’ raucously humorous scenarios, in an endearing romp through one family’s eccentric addictions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bAX9_rDvO_c?autoplay=0 960 https://vurchel.com/v/178/all-those-sensations-in-my-belly-marko-djeska-croatia-2020 2023-11-05T13:51:53.000Z 1.0 https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1659963876-ff4426c7565ae023e2cbec60f1525aa5e28cbf2522b0ec99d4df4d1255eb93c2-d_295x166?region=us All Those Sensations in My Belly (Sve te senzacije u mom trbuhu) - short film by Marko Djeska While transitioning from male to female gender, Matia struggles with finding a genuine intimate relationship with a heterosexual man. https://player.vimeo.com/video/820288576?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/202/ba-svetlana-filippova-2020 2023-07-21T11:55:54.000Z 1.0 https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1091567541-068d97cee3b8e28705c41f6188ad1becf3e9666a3ea0f9662f14e2a231abf7b1-d_295x166?region=us Ba (Ба) - short film by Svetlana Filippova (trailer) Sasha grew up in a city in Soviet Kazakhstan.

The boy becomes entranced by the Shrine of the Virgin Mary inside the chapel and begins daily pilgrimages to see his beloved Madonna. His love, devotion, and passion for her continue to grow, until one day his world is crushed by the devastating secret behind her eternal beauty. Mesmerizing, haunting, and deeply personal, Altötting is a coming-of-age story about love, faith, mortality, and shattered illusions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xKGYBbP9cQg?autoplay=0 660 https://vurchel.com/v/1092/armstrong-russ-etheridge-united-kingdom-2020 2023-07-21T11:43:27.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/1094/audenie-taokan-xu-germany-2020 2023-07-21T11:43:24.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/1096/bass-sequences-paul-polze-germany-2020 2023-07-21T11:43:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/1098/beauty-the-beasts-aggie-pak-yee-lee-hong-kong-2021 2023-07-21T11:43:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/1116/big-and-small-natalia-grofpel-russian-federation-2020 2023-07-21T11:43:14.000Z 1.0 https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/885099135-1cf18e4ba146424848dad8d6755cb9213d3a997cefd8b93e07b675ba927fac6a-d_295x166?region=us Big and Small - short film by Natalia Grofpel (trailer) A story about what incredible events can happen in a child's pocket. https://player.vimeo.com/video/412634133?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/1118/big-crunch-julia-farkas-hungary-2021 2023-07-21T11:43:09.000Z 1.0 https://img.youtube.com/vi/KLGQHE6IlBg/hqdefault.jpg Big Crunch - short film by Júlia Farkas Completely spontaneous, freely associative visual mindfuck, morphs and zooms fuse the various situations into a single, continuous scene.

A childhood full of love is confronted with a parent's depression. Although on a daily basis she is a loving mother, alcohol turns her into a wolf. During her transformation, she becomes unpredictable, losing her humanity. Full of metaphors and sensitivity, the story leads us through the child’s difficult experiences. Scene by scene it shows how an intimate bond is built only to be shattered, hurting everyone. The titular guilt hovers above: who is responsible, who takes the guilt over, can it help anyone? Guilt is about the attempt to take on an intolerable burden, and is a sensitive, raw depiction of the fragility of family life.

At the end of the film, the wall between the two worlds breaks down, the small flat could not become the place she dreamed of, but rather a weak bunker in a war. https://player.vimeo.com/video/483027740?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11075/catch-the-fair-one-josef-kubota-wladyka-2021 2023-07-21T11:41:08.000Z 1.0 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V2T2Novy8Nw/hqdefault.jpg Catch the Fair One - film by Josef Kubota Wladyka (trailer) A former champion boxer embarks on the fight of her life when she goes in search of her missing sister. https://www.youtube.com/embed/V2T2Novy8Nw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11146/gods-waiting-room-tyler-riggs-2021 2023-07-21T11:41:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/gods-waiting-room-h2021.jpg God's Waiting Room - film by Tyler Riggs (trailer) As the summer drags on in central Florida, a young musician, a charismatic hustler, and a man adjusting to life after prison intersect on a dangerous path. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PqeP8SN9jiU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11170/mark-mary-some-other-people 2023-07-21T11:40:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/full_Tribeca_Mark__Mary___Some_Other_People_1_1080p.jpg Mark, Mary & Some Other People - film by Hannah Marks (trailer) Mark and Mary fall passionately in love, despite Mary wanting to see other people.

It symbolises the struggle with personality disorders while being in a relationship with beloved one. It is an visual analysis on separation anxiety disorder that occurs mostly in childchood but can be present at all stages of life. This exessive fear of losing mother or father creates many dark scenarios in the mind of a child. In many cases this trauma continues to grow even in late adulthood and focuses on partner instead of a parent. When woman is left alone at home, and absence of her man became longer than usual her paranoia grows. Nothing is as it seems for her. She becomes suspicious,insanely jealous and fearful. She scares of loneliness. That leads to creation of a new reality, much more vibrant and colorful than her everyday life, where all the madness becomes substantial, tangible, all the precognitions turned out to be true. It shows how subconciousness can be dangerous and unpredictable. Fiercesness in the deep, mysterious jungle. https://player.vimeo.com/video/353767476?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11433/papa-zaza-geraldine-charpentier-belgium-2020 2023-07-21T11:35:36.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11435/polyamory-emily-worms-belgium-2020 2023-07-21T11:35:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11437/push-this-button-if-you-begin-to-panic-gabriel-boehmer-united-kingdom-2020 2023-07-21T11:35:19.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11439/quit-the-room-nigina-rakhmatulloyeva-russian-federation-2020-0037 2023-07-25T12:16:30.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-07-25_161604.png Quit the room - short film by Nigina Rakhmatulloyeva A 2020 short animation film by Nigina Rakhmatulloyeva https://player.vimeo.com/video/461350429?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 60 https://vurchel.com/v/11441/red-wisdom-hossein-moradizadeh-iran-2020 2023-07-21T11:35:12.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11443/return-jonathan-delgado-herrera-argentina-2020 2023-07-21T11:35:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11445/revolykus-victor-orozco-ramirez-germany-2020 2023-09-15T10:16:39.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11447/roberto-carmen-cordoba-gonzalez-spain-2020 2023-07-21T11:34:57.000Z 1.0 https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1522240360-fd97be6e580d4a48eb78f8e71c4544766ad032ed17ce4fbbfc63147d054772f4-d_295x166?region=us Roberto - short film by Carmen Córdoba González (trailer) 15 years have passed and Roberto is still in love with his neighbor, but she prefers to hide ashamed of her body.

When I got there, my mother quietly walked me into a room where she gently pulled a strange, hairless creature out of a shoe box. It looked as if it had plummeted to earth from another planet. “He’s sleeping,” she whispered as she opened the box. A tiny head peeked out from the mountain of towels, blankets and a homemade heating pad made out of a used white sock and rice. “What is that?” I asked. I squinted my eyes as I gently moved the blanket to expose the animal’s torso. “Is that a squirrel?” I looked over at her, and even though it was dark, her beaming smile lit up the room. “Yes,” she nodded. My mother had found the baby squirrel abandoned in her yard. She contacted animal shelters nearby, but they were struggling to take in more animals during the Covid pandemic, so my mother began caring for him herself. My intuition told me to pick up a camera. I knew something special was happening. My mother, a Polish immigrant who had raised me by herself, had been dealing with her newly empty nest after I left for school, and I knew the joy that raising the squirrel would bring her. After returning to Poland, I saw my mother raise him as she raised me — with meticulous love and care. But he was a wild animal, and eventually my mother had to do what all mothers do: let her child go out into the world. Here, I document their journey together. - Director Tom Krawczyk https://player.vimeo.com/video/786669348?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/11531/the-lost-found-boy-man-bunny-daniel-ifans 2023-07-21T11:33:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/image_2023-02-13_23-27-05.png (The Lost Found) Boy Man Bunny - short film by Daniel Ifans What happens when you take an abandoned Brazilian street kid from the favelas of Salvador, and drop him into privileged English society?

(Кто расскажет небылицу) - short film by Robert Sahakyants The bored king, wondering what he can do to amuse himself, calls for an advisor. He proposes to announce a contest of tall tales, and before that he promises that if the tsar responds to someone's story by saying "Not true" or "I do not believe", the storyteller will be rewarded with half a kingdom; anyone who the tsar "believes" - and according to the adviser, in any case - will have to give the tsar all his possessions. The king announces a contest, after which the 300 contestants, having been caught, part with the last one. But one day three brothers come to the king. The eldest and the middle one try to disbelieve the Tsar by telling outlandish tales, but he indifferently replies "I do". When it is the youngest brother's turn to tell stories, he declares that he has no time to tell tall tales and that he has come on behalf of his village, from which the Tsar has borrowed a sack of gold. The man exclaims in horror: "It is not true!" then, realizing what he has done, corrects himself: "I mean, it's true!" Then the boy pulls out a huge sack and says, "And if it's true - pay back the debt! We've got houses to build before winter, and we've got to buy a cow for everyone!" The king exclaims: "So my whole kingdom will fit in a sack like that?", to which the boy replies, "All of it? No. Not all of it, only half of it. Or don't you believe me?" This logical paradox leads the inhabitants of the palace into utter confusion: the king faints, the counselor cries and walks away with the column he grabbed, the guards drop their weapons. In the final scene of the cartoon, the villagers carry out of the palace a long sack with "Half a Kingdom" written on it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2HGdETR4JIU?autoplay=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/11545/resourceful-peasant-robert-saakyants 2023-07-21T11:32:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/nahodchivy_krestyanin.jpg Resourceful peasant (Находчивый крестьянин) - short film by Robert Sahakyants A commoner helps a capricious king regain his appetite.

A passing lumberjack took pity on the poor people and gave them his tool. But the new woodcutters, not knowing how to use it properly, began to unintentionally kill and maim each other, so the village council commanded to throw the axe into the fire. The axe burned, and the blade heated and continued to harm people, so they decided to throw it into the dungeon. However, its floor was lined with straw, which caused it to catch fire first, and then the entire village. Nevertheless, when the fire ended, the inhabitants began to rejoice in the warmth emanating from the ashes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mA7H5KnyzJk?autoplay=0 480 https://vurchel.com/v/11550/elections-robert-saakyants 2023-07-21T11:31:00.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11551/everything-is-good-robert-saakyants 2023-07-21T11:30:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11552/three-blue-blue-lakes-of-crimson-colour 2023-07-21T11:30:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/274px-Кадр_из_мультфильма_«Три_синих-синих_озера_малинового_цвета»_1.jpg Three blue-blue lakes of crimson colour (Три синих синих озера малинового цвета) - short film by Ro… The boy has a dream-fairy story about how he and his family went on a wonderful hunt and returned with the spoils.

It will not be lost, it will return to you in kind. The old man realizes that the fish is unlikely to be of any use to him, but he lets it go anyway. The old man sits on the shore and thinks, "Now there's nothing to eat!" And he exclaimed in annoyance, "Eh!" Suddenly a monster appears from under the ground, constantly changing its appearance, and exclaims: "I'm here! Why did you call?" The astonished old man asks: "Я?". The monster continues, "You said: "Eh." Eh, that's me. The great, mighty, good wizard. Say whatever you wish. I will do anything, I can do anything!" Since the old man and his wife were starving, Eh gave him a magic table, the equivalent of a tablecloth, and taught him how to use it. The old man thanked Eeh and ran home. He uses the table at home, but then Eekh's head appears from the food on it in the form of stew and says the following to the old men: "I forgot to warn you: I have a little condition. At midnight sharp I will come to visit you and I will ask you questions until dawn. If you manage to answer, the table is yours. And if you fail to do so, blame yourself! You'll remember me forever!" In the evening, a young man comes to the old men and asks to spend the night. Despite their warning that the beast will come at midnight and destroy all three, he stays with them. At night, at the appointed time, the "kind" Eekh appears, and the young man goes out to meet him. The astonished Eeh begins to ask the young man questions, but he gives quick and confusing answers to each question.

The boy, the grandson of the old men from whom the insatiable rich man has taken a big pot of oil as payment, decides to teach the rich man a lesson, gets to his manor and overhears the landlord talking to his dumb watchwoman, who says that the pot will stay until the Pancake Eve arrives. The old woman, having decided that the "Pancake Girl" is a person, wonders "who he is and when he will come", and at this moment she bumps into a boy who, taking advantage of the information she has heard, introduces himself as the "Pancake Girl" and says he has come to get his own. The foolish woman gives him the pot of butter, saying she does not wish to guard someone else's goods. She then reports to the master that the "Pancake Man" has come and she has given the butter, as the master has commanded. The landowner, realizing that the guardian has been conned, rushes after the boy on horseback. The boy pretends to be a snowman and tells the rich man that he will not catch up with the runaway, since his horse runs slower than the boy because of the greater number of legs. The rich man falls into this trap and runs, and the boy steals the horse as well. At night, the frozen landowner crawls home on all fours and falls to his death, and the stunned watchwoman sits down in the snow, which causes her double barrel to fire and shatter the spotlight with one shot and the moon with the other. The dog on watchtower witnesses this and starts howling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GjyBwPLmlHM?autoplay=0 420 https://vurchel.com/v/11556/its-such-a-beautiful-day-don-hertzfeltd 2023-07-21T11:30:39.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/w1500_37172354.jpg It's such a beautiful day - film by Don Hertzfeldt Bill is an ordinary guy who begins to manifest a hereditary disease that makes him slowly but surely go insane... we will experience with him his journey from sanity to utter insanity. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1188546946?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 5520 https://vurchel.com/v/11557/habrahol-sasha-svirskiy 2023-07-21T11:30:36.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/0007.jpg Habrahol (Хабрахол) - short film by Sasha Svirsky Story about strange word "Habrahol" https://www.youtube.com/embed/H37_Ut_lBVw?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/11558/mears-pierce-sasha-svirskiy 2023-07-21T11:30:32.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2d37255f29a30ce02a5c347e791cf2fa.jpg Mears Pierce (Мирс Пирс) - short film by Sasha Svirsky Mears Pierce https://www.youtube.com/embed/5Zk3h9bDjk8?autoplay=0 960 https://vurchel.com/v/11559/long-bridge-to-the-right-place-ivan-maximov 2023-07-21T11:30:28.000Z 1.0 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f6yztVjQS7o/hqdefault.jpg Long Bridge to the Right Place (Длинный мост в нужную сторону) - short film by Ivan Maximov The story is about a lonely man living with his pet friend on a small island and longing to get to "other people." https://www.youtube.com/embed/f6yztVjQS7o?autoplay=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/11561/aldar-and-the-grey-wolf-rim-sharafytdinov 2023-07-21T11:30:25.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/153944.700xp_.jpg Aldar and the Grey Wolf (Алдар и серый волк) - short film by Rim Sharafutdinov The adventures of two hapless friends. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9inc7R597bI?autoplay=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/11563/rumpelstiltskin-oksana-holodova 2023-07-21T11:30:21.000Z 1.0 https://img.youtube.com/vi/Ic2raHW5dUU/hqdefault.jpg Rumpelstiltskin (Румпельштильцхен) - short film by Olga Holodova The story is about Melnikov's daughter and one of the inhabitants of the underworld. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ic2raHW5dUU?autoplay=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/11565/queen-of-spades-dmitriy-naumov 2023-07-21T11:30:17.000Z 1.0 https://img.youtube.com/vi/cY53-rrU5A0/hqdefault.jpg Queen of Spades (Пиковая дама) - short film by Dmitriy Naumov The film was made for those who will never finish watching and listening to the end of Tchaikovsky's classic version of the opera The Queen of Spades. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cY53-rrU5A0?autoplay=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/11568/atomic-forest-alexey-lebedev 2023-07-21T11:30:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-02-27_20-55-56.png Atomic Forest: A Bloody Wedding (Атомный лес: Кровавая свадьба) - short film by Alexey Lebedev (tra… An unexpected plot twist, suspense and drama from silkworms engaged in the modification of bear genes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wm2hRRhymSQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11570/father-ivan-bogdanov-moritz-mayerhofer-asparuh-petrov 2023-07-21T11:30:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Father.jpg Father (Father) - short film by Ivan Bogdanov, Moritz Mayerhofer, Asparuh Petrov, Rositsa Raleva, V… The short animated documentary film Father features five parallel realities in which the impossible dialogue between a child and a father would take place.

The animation was inspired by Navajo sand paintings-an ancient religious art form. An original technique for animating sand called "faux sand painting animation" was developed for this film, and the designs include authentic native symbols and Navajo sand. Performing music for Wolf Dog Tales is a member of the Taos Indian Pueblo of New Mexico, who emulates animal calls throughout the film using handmade flutes. At a time when we strive to live in balance with the earth, Wolf Dog Tales reminds us of the many things we can learn from animals. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EVZ_riJRYmc?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11628/a-different-perspective-chris-ohara 2023-07-21T11:28:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-02-28_19-51-11.png A Different Perspective - short film by Chris O'Hara A visit from an alien life form results in a change in perspective in more ways than one. https://player.vimeo.com/video/120438150?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 120 https://vurchel.com/v/11630/some-actions-which-havent-been-defined-yet-in-the-revolution-xun-sun 2023-07-21T11:28:19.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/hqdefault_(1).jpg Some Actions Which Haven't Been Defined Yet in the Revolution - short film by Xun Sun (trailer) The woodcut animation Some Actions Which Haven’t Been Defined Yet In The Revolution depicts the nightmarish journey of a character through a world situated between waking and dreaming, day and night, past and present, in which all known, stable boundaries—such as that between inside and outside, human and beast—have become fluid. Time is dictated by traumatic flashbacks, and the nightmare-like atmosphere of the work, which is underscored by haunting music, is evoked not by violent actions, but by the claustrophobic routines of everyday life. There are two iconic scenes that define the work—one when the protagonist pulls an insect from between his teeth and eats it alive, and the other when the protagonist masturbates. The latter scene is the climax of the film, yet shows an anticlimax of sorts, with its undirected and unfulfilled libidinous energy. The former scene evokes the metaphor of “cannibalism” as an attitude and mental condition, used by the influential author Lu Xun to describe the decay of Chinese consciousness. Lu Xun wrote The True Story of Ah Q. and was, not coincidentally, also an eminent scholar of Chinese woodcuts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sh_by3dtxVU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/11632/possessions-syuhei-morita 2023-07-21T11:28:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/02_932px.jpg Possessions (Tsukumo) - short film by Shûhei Morita Possessions is a sometimes somber, sometimes frantic but ultimately rewarding story about a weary traveler seeking shelter from a storm, who happens upon an old shrine filled with a host of broken tools in various states of disrepair. He shows tremendous skill as he sets about repairing all manner of items, whose spirits harbor old grudges that are not easily appeased. The film’s visually stunning fantasy sequences and clever ending are both poignant and well designed. https://player.vimeo.com/video/361976348?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 840 https://vurchel.com/v/11635/a-girl-who-cut-her-finger-eduard-belyaev 2023-07-21T11:28:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/11636/macka-the-cat-goran-stojnic 2023-07-21T11:28:05.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Macka_001.jpg The Cat (Macka) - short film by Goran Stojnic A short story about three completely different beings - a cat, an old woman, and a bird.

This animation is a thesis at the School-studio "SHAR".

The film is original, the author in no way can be blamed for falling under the influence of teachers or other authors, which often happens to students. Moreover, the real surprise is that the film in collage technique, using its own photographs of images found on the Internet, quotes from famous films, was created on the basis of a Russian educational institution. The picture does not have a clear storyline; absurd humor, unexpected character interactions — all this makes the picture special.

The heroine's children and everyone who is connected with her House inevitably go through the challenge that is unavoidable inside this world, which is open to all the winds of life and to outer space. https://player.vimeo.com/video/124702063?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/12675/dolesu-alyona-rebezova 2023-07-21T10:52:19.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/rbwcdlla_32560133b3d79cd8dbf54dee6df87390.jpg Dolesu (Долесу) - short film by Alyona Rebezova The main character comes to the realization that life around him is moving in a circle, that everything is the same all the time. Wondering: how to break out of a vicious circle, the hero sees how people around find this way out, but their options only frighten the hero. The world around makes the hero understand that he must be like everyone else, must exist in this cycle and there is no way out. Then the hero goes to the forest and becomes a tree – this is his way out. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oiMs6pr6jZk?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/12677/soleils-welt-melissa-rothmann 2023-07-26T07:13:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/So-1.jpg Soleils World (Soleils Welt) - short film by Melissa Rothmann Through an encounter with the unknown, the smallest of the town is able to change the world by gaining a new perspective and sharing it with everyone. The step over one's own limitations may help others to overcome theirs; and the encounter with the unknown does not only take us one step further into the world, but also closer towards ourselves. “Soleils World” is a short film that started out on a long journey of many years of creation and production, until it became realised by a dedicated team of professional musicians and graduate students of the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg in Austria, becoming the heart-work of all team members. https://player.vimeo.com/video/125792062?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/12680/lucky-ines-christine-geisser-kirsten-carina-geisser 2023-07-21T10:52:09.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_(300).png Lucky - short film by Ines Christine Geisser, Kirsten Carina Geisser The film focusses on the pursuit of happiness. Failure and desire play a part, and the sweet smell of childhood lingers in the air, but it has lost some of its romance. The idea that this film is maybe not about horses at all suggests itself quickly. These precious friends are simply well-suited for being protagonists as their image is not yet as worn as Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny and they are still complex in terms of content.The horses trot and gallop across the screen and even drink at the bar. These horses are not happy, maybe for one exception. Loss follows great success, love is only answered by a painful lack of understanding, Black Beauty turns into Broken Beauty. This film does not play in Wendy-mode and neither serves the romance of horse loving teenagers. https://player.vimeo.com/video/211186357?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 660 https://vurchel.com/v/12683/madama-butterfly-andreas-kessler-and-lea-najjar 2023-07-21T10:52:05.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Untitled-6.jpg Madama Butterfly - short film by Andreas Kessler, Lea Najjar (Vimeo Direct) Madama Butterfly is a string puppet animation film about a fiery opera performance with tragic consequences. https://player.vimeo.com/video/732526740?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&h=f11afa3195 https://vurchel.com/v/12685/made-in-china-vincent-tsui 2023-07-21T10:52:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/madeinchina.jpg Made in China - short film by Vincent Tsui Figurines try to imitate the human way of life.

Individuals in this film are manipulated by the political powers that lead them to extremes. Inspired by real-life stories from border villages around Demilitarised Zones in Korea, Heeseon Kim’s striking RCA grad film The River serves up an unsettling tale of manipulation and violence in a stark and unforgiving land. Presented in a bold, almost confrontational style, what this nine-minute animation lacks in narrative clarity, it more than makes up for with its powerful filmmaking approach and ambitious, original storytelling. Originally pictured as an animated documentary, featuring the voices of interviewees, Kim decided a dialogue-free approach would be better, as she felt it would add a more universal feel to her story. Admitting she “wanted to erase the distance between characters and audiences” with her film, she hopes The River reminds viewers that stories like these shouldn’t feel like from a forgotten time, as similar tragedies are still occurring all over the world. With a more abstract approach to storytelling, The River’s narrative is bound to be a little hit-and-miss with some of our audience, but even if you don’t feel the gut-punch impact of Kim’s plot, it’s hard not to admire the prominent aesthetic she uses to deliver her tale. Created using Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, this is a film that cleverly uses contrasting colours to paint a vivid picture of two nations separated by a 250 kilometre border. Hailing from the same small town as the interviewees that inspired her film, this is a story Kim obviously felt very motivated to tell and passionate to share and that passion is clearly evident in her simmering short. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KlkXntr54K8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/12763/zepo-cesar-diaz-melendez 2026-04-06T07:40:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/zepo_01.webp Zepo - short film by César Díaz Meléndez You may think you have heard the tale of the girl who goes out wandering in the woods by herself to collect firewood, but I assure you, this is not that tale. In a story filled with mystery and unexplained circumstances, Melendez takes us into a darker side of the cold forest where things aren’t always as they seem. Technically, Zepo is very impressive as each frame is meticulously crafted with colored sand on glass. The choice of sand as a medium is a nice contrast to the cold snowy environment, but also synonymous with the granules of snow that fill the environment. Minimal, desaturated colors give the piece a somber, yet foreboding sensibility. https://player.vimeo.com/video/92406778?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/12764/boomerang-pavel-pogudin 2023-07-21T10:49:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/12765/aside-alexandra-averyanova 2023-07-21T10:49:43.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/12766/in-the-forest-of-forgotten-umbrellas-dmitry-vysotsky 2023-07-21T10:49:36.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/zont2.jpg In The Forest Of Forgotten Umbrellas (В лесу забытых зонтов) - short film by Dmitry Vysotsky The brothers River Burbot and Salmon living in the lake have long studied all the tricks of the evil sorcerer who dreamed of catching them on a fishing rod.

The short film is based on the literature of Daniil Kharms, a Russian absurdist who was living and writing about madness, fears and humour in the early 20th century. The idea of madness comes through clearly in the film. When the main character, Andrej, spits into a cup, he suddenly turns the water black and his world goes topsy-turvy. His dog can fly, he feels like a dog and his neighbour appears from and disappears into thin air. The story gets even stranger when, in a shocking move, Andrej drinks the pitch black water. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jF_k86fddRo?autoplay=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/13159/journey-radheya-jegatheva 2023-07-21T10:28:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2023-03-21_075726.jpg Journey - short film by Radheya Jegatheva (trailer) A student film about an astronaut by the name of Orion, lost in space.

Kafka's short story "My Neighbor". The film takes place in an imaginary "white collar" world where paper planes are turned into blank forms. The main character realizes the futility of his existence and breaks free from his chains. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5T3Nel6EQEU?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/13192/involuntary-prometheus-evgeny-strelkov 2023-07-21T10:28:25.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-03-21_11-46-51_1.png Involuntary Prometheus (Невольный прометей) - short film by Evgeny Strelkov The film tells about the activities of rocket scientist Ilya Stafievsky, who methodically embodied the youthful dream of flying to Mars. In the character of a fictional hero, the features (as well as individual facts of the biography) of a real space dreamer, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, sometimes appear. The visual fabric of the painting uses graphics from the books of futurists and geeks: Velimir Khlebnikov, Igor Terentyev and Ilya Zdanevich. Despite the absurdist tone, the film shows sincere admiration for the courage and perseverance of the discoverers in science and art. https://www.youtube.com/embed/W9mJl4QsQj8?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/13193/aesculapius-of-the-revolution-evgeny-strelkov 2023-07-21T10:28:19.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/es-1.jpg Aesculapius Of The Revolution (Эскулап революции) - short film by Evgeny Strelkov The film tells about the activities of the legendary revolutionary Vasily Saratov, whose name, according to the authors, was named his hometown. In the biography of the fictitious character, typical features of a provincial razor, who replaced a student bench to party work, appear. The biographical plot collected from banal Soviet clichés is abundantly decorated with absurd details. In the visual fabric of the film, graphic elements of the beginning of the 20th century were used: advertisements, species photos, drawings, drawings from medical reference books and family magazines. Despite the ironic tone, the film shows sincere sympathy for the confused and ridiculous fate of the fictional Volga Bolshevik underground. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5umrx7Tv6mw?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/13195/the-little-bird-and-the-caterpillar-lena-von-dohren 2023-07-21T10:28:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/der-kleine-vogel-und-die-raupe.jpg The Little Bird and the Caterpillar (Der kleine Vogel und die Raupe) - short film by Lena Von Dohren It is summertime. High above in a maple tree the little Bird cherishes and nurtures the green leaves of his home. Suddenly a hungry caterpillar sets out to eat the appetizing leaves. The little Bird manages to lure away the glutton and an adventurous journey begins. In the forest, the fire-red fox is already awaiting the two. A lake with its perils must also be crossed. Eventually the caterpillar pupates. The little bird starts alone on the long way home. When the fox continues his chase the caterpillar appears to have been miraculously transformed to help the little Bird. https://player.vimeo.com/video/199490262?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/13198/a-hedgehog-that-is-not-a-hedgehog-at-all-alexey-ignatov 2023-07-21T09:05:41.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/13200/hola-llamigo-charlie-parisi-and-christina-chang 2023-07-21T09:05:34.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_47.png ¡Hola Llamigo! - short film by Charlie Parisi, Christina Chang A strict father-son relationship is put to the test when an unexpected surprise is brought into the mix. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_hr70LytvbI?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/13203/ivans-need-veronica-l-montano-manuela-leuenberger-and-lukas-suter 2023-07-21T09:05:30.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_49.png Ivan’s need (Iwans Bedürfnis) - short film by Veronica L.

The protagonist - a collector of exotic reptiles - lives in a flat cluttered with aquariums. Surrounded by the luxuriant plants he once planted each day he attentively looks after his animals yet strictly controls their behaviour. A small caiman that he brings home will unexpectedly disturb the inner harmony that the man managed to build. In her animation Sylwia Gaweł captures the essence of human domination offering an interesting remark on the trap of eponymous domestication. https://www.youtube.com/embed/K91M5fCA25U?autoplay=0 360 https://vurchel.com/v/13244/bul-boullea-elizaveta-manokhina-polina-manokhina 2023-07-21T09:04:32.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/13246/weekend-andrey-bakhurin 2023-07-21T09:04:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2023-03-22_170954.jpg Weekend (Выходной) - short film by Andrey Bakhurin What happens in the city when the long-awaited day off comes.

I’m drifting between two cities, trying to figure out where I am. The life is one big road, with right and wrong turns, with signs which we miss sometimes. It’s us who choose the speed to ride and destinations.

This short animated film is based on the work done in Dr Serge Mostowy’s lab on septin assembly in cells, using a zebrafish model. Lab members describe the intricate sub-cellular septin dynamics and structure. Their explanatory drawings, and discussion between scientists and filmmaker about how they see the research, are incorporated into the animation. Each person’s unique and idiosyncratic vision of the process brings a different facet to the complex and secret world of septin cytoskeleton dynamics. The scientists’ different theories of assembly reveal the creative and discursive nature of science. The images of the scientists’ original sketches at the end emphasises how closely they worked with the filmmaker to translate their individual vision to the whole. https://player.vimeo.com/video/146245929?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 360 https://vurchel.com/v/13393/down-by-love-jose-corral 2023-07-21T08:57:30.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-03-24_01-32-28.png Down by Love - short film by Jose Corral Martin is an unscrupulous chap who has never cared about anyone but himself until he meets Irina, a Russian girl. https://player.vimeo.com/video/139784837?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 840 https://vurchel.com/v/13397/its-my-fault-sha-liu 2023-07-21T08:57:25.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-03-24_01-41-07.png It’s My Fault - short film by Sha Liu The digital age has given birth to a new reality: infinite screen time. Rather than experiencing the natural world around us, our intake of communication, ideas, visuals, and sounds is packaged via a series of zeros and ones, waiting neatly for us to consume. This screen-dependent existence is even more prevalent and maddening for the modern-day creative. Beyond entertainment, so many artists rely on screens for work — using digital tools to create more digital experiences that are designed to be digested through yet another screen. It creates a loop that at times feels paralyzing and inescapable. https://player.vimeo.com/video/243940584?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/13399/batfish-soup-amanda-bonaiuto 2023-07-21T08:57:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/MV5BM2Y3ZTdhZmMtMzkxMy00OGJhLWJjMjQtMDE3YWM4Y2MxYTRkL2ltYWdlL2ltYWdlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjM0NzIwMDE@._V1__.jpg Batfish Soup - short film by Amanda Bonaiuto Wacky relatives give way to mounting tensions with broken dolls, boiling stew and a bang. https://player.vimeo.com/video/207743892?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/13408/the-empty-dahee-jeong 2023-07-21T08:57:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/the-empty.jpg The Empty (빈방) - short film by Dahee Jeong Time is what the room has the most.

Réka managed to condense in just under fifteen minutes the phases of love, the essential ones that we all lived through, willingly or unwillingly, but she didn’t do it by telling a romantic story, she did it by creating an enormous metaphor. The protagonist of the short is a planet within an entire solar system, comparable to us and the people who are part of our lives, which is suddenly changed when something new comes, something never seen before, that gives new life. The first phase, which is a total rediscovery of oneself, leads to the central phase, that of renewal and rebirth. The planet becomes something different from what it was at the beginning. Then, however, this effect fades and, after such an experience, you never go back as before. https://player.vimeo.com/video/316874134?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 900 https://vurchel.com/v/13444/hurry-up-margot-reumont 2023-07-21T08:54:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1_242370777.jpg Hurry Up (Grouillons Nous) - short film by Margot Reumont At rush hour, a fruit crowd throng into the metro to the frantic rhythm of the music.

The images developed from pastel sketches and visual studies of crows and sparrows, interacting with each other and hopping across the streets, sometimes in pairs. This movement suggested a kind of ballet to me; the birds seemed as if they had rehearsed some sort of formal dance and were performing ritualistically with the others. My animation was inspired by this kind of ballet Pas de Deux structure, with pairs of shapes moving together playfully, then developing into more complex themes and variations. The original music score was composed and performed by Gary Chang. https://player.vimeo.com/video/146621484?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/13474/the-christmas-ballad-michal-zabka 2023-07-21T08:53:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/pict9647533748.jpg The Christmas Ballad - short film by Michal Zabka (trailer) The Christmas Ballad, based on the very last script by Bretislav Pojar.

In fact, a few more domestic films will go to Annecy, but most of them fell into the recently created program “for the young audience”, which is still not so honorable. It's a paradox: those Russian films that are now in the "children's and teenage program" of the French festival (like Roman Sokolov's "Theory of Sunset") at Russian festivals are more likely to fall into adult programs. And "Biruk", on the contrary, at our Suzdal festival received a diploma in the category "for the best film for children" with the ironic wording "for the artistic introduction of folk pedagogy." The plot of Polina's film is quite simple: a lively village girl is naughty before going to bed, her grandmother cannot cope with her and promises that a certain Biryuk will come for such behavior, take her away and eat her, and, for greater persuasiveness, stomps outside the door, like an unknown monster, frightening child. And in the morning the girl gets up like a silken one, and promises that she will no longer indulge, if only Biryuk does not come. The pedagogy, of course, is so-so, but quite traditional, just as the initial and final scenes look quite traditional with cute and colorful hand-drawn animation on a rural theme: a cat, a grandmother, pies, the sun through the window. And the most interesting thing in this film and its own, moreover, lying in line with the author's Ural animation, is an almost monochrome nightmare scene of a girl who for some reason found herself in the forest at night and was running away from something similar to a monstrous tree that came to life, as she apparently imagined Biryuk himself. And the fact that it was not at all clear what kind of terrible creature it was was especially frightening, and even terrible wolves and owls were rushing around, from... https://www.youtube.com/embed/ixwExCqJBw8?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/13602/embraced-justine-vuylsteker 2023-07-21T08:37:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/ETREINTES01_bis_888.png Embraced (Étreintes) - short film by Justine Vuylsteker A woman stands still at the window.

Using fragments of memories and literal scraps of paper from a semester abroad in Tel Aviv, Israel, Swiss animator Samuel Patthey reconstructs and analyzes his time there. At just under 6 minutes, the short film manages to capture the dichotomy of Tel Aviv and what makes living there both anxiety inducing and exciting. Told with a scrapbook style, Patthey juxtaposes drawings of the secular and orthodox. Traditional religious architecture bumps up against the city’s raucous nightlife. The sounds of air raid sirens blend into EDM before transforming into random city sounds. Each sketch is just that – a descriptive, but gestural outline of what Patthey observed in Israel. Like the city itself, each page from his notebook contains a multitude of personalities including scholars, soldiers, chefs, and everything in between. Whether depicting homeless people rummaging through trash or Rabbi’s debating the Torah, the film’s strength lies in its withholding of judgement. Patthey used 47 different vignettes from his sketchbook to illustrate his experience, and calls the travelogue an exercise in understanding the city. In the end, we not only understand the beauty of the city’s quiet streets, amazing clubs, and people, but also how the fear of fighting, identity and tradition make Tel Aviv Tel Aviv. Ahead of the short film premiere, we reached out to director Samuel Patthey to hear his thoughts on the film and what the trip meant to him.

A woman travels across a flooded landscape from her sunken house and meets a tree with a face. They become friends and share an apple. From the attic of her house, she watches the tree, and attends to its needs, even knitting it a hat when it gets cold. This does not stop the rain from falling or keep the flood from rising. This strange and special film is complex and ambiguous, offering interesting potential for viewers aged 12-15 years. The themes expressed by the film are sustainable development/climate change, opening up a consideration of the relationship between humans and water in and around Europe, particularly bearing in mind the role of global warming. Indeed, the film demonstrates how the various realities of climate change can be stylized in an artistic project without an upfront explicit message. / , 2016 / 06’05» https://player.vimeo.com/video/171592582?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 360 https://vurchel.com/v/13939/hors-saison-off-season-nicolas-capitaine-celine-desoutter-lucas-durkheim-leni-marotte 2023-07-21T08:28:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2023-03-30_155238.jpg Off Season (Hors Saison) - short film by Nicolas Capitaine, Céline Desoutter, Lucas Durkheim, Léni… Tired park ranger Jude struggles to find her place in her team.

An electrician has an accident while he is carrying out renovation work at a psychiatric hospital and falls unconscious on the other side of a wall. Everything that follows is pure madness and divine transformation. Vladimir Leschiov’s most recent film is a direct reflection on the present and on recent history. The wall of the psychiatric hospital separates two worlds. According to the director, the Napoleons, the Hitlers and the self-proclaimed of the world live in one of them. This film, which was in competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, is an attempt to explore what happens when we accidentally end up “there”, and what it means if the “there” is actually close to “here”. https://player.vimeo.com/video/253461838?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/14084/bus-stop-nina-bisyarina 2025-12-04T16:18:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/images111111111111111111111.jpg Bus Stop (Остановка) - short film by Nina Bisyarina Sometimes you need to make a stop to see how beautiful the world is.

She swims through the memories of being a child on a beach, a young woman in a lover’s embrace and a young mother concerned for her little girl. Inspired by writer/director Louise Bagnall’s two grandmothers, this is a poignant celebration of ordinary lives. https://www.youtube.com/embed/62YX7VQkOdM?autoplay=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/14096/ 2023-07-21T08:23:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Teele-Strauss-filmstill-0_1920.jpg Once in the Fields of Boredom (Ükskord igavuse väljadel) - short film by Teele Strauss It is a story about a couple whose life together has come to an end – they struggle with boredom. The movie starts with a supper, which is obviously dull and intolerable for both of them, especially for the Women. When there is an interruption with the flow and the Man shifts his attention to the possible interloper, the Woman disappears. As there is still some feelings and curiosity left, the Man starts to look for the Woman. He finds her after interrupting her supper with a new companion and realizes his defeat. This film is about boredom, existential void and yearning for something different. The story is technically a mixture of frame-by-frame animation projected on the forest. There is a shift in the design of the characters and the real forest which should emphasize the acting of characters and the importance of the choices they make. https://player.vimeo.com/video/260378970?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/14097/ 2023-07-21T08:23:23.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/7COGH5bzipY.jpg Pearfall - short film by Leonid Shmelkov Beware of pearfall!

Video for Toto Bona Lokua’s new single, Ma Mama taken from their forthcoming album, Bondeko. “The overall feel of the film is dreamy, surreal and visually exciting to watch — it’s a love story but told in a very innocent, playful way, of two people exploring this animated world together,” Katy explains. The jolly nature of the animator’s two loved up characters (inspired by the “tender love story at the heart of Gerald Toto’s song-writing”) is shown through sweet kisses, lightly bouncing through the short before waking a giant sleeping cat who takes them on an adventure over day and night in Katy’s animated world. Cutaways of pattern break up the narrative, before seamlessly introducing new characters such as lively fish and camels that morph into booty shaking elephants. Ma Mama as a song represents feelings of friendship and the playful attitudes you have with your best pals, emulating the title of Toto Bona Lokua’s album title, Bondeko which translates as friendship and fraternity. Katy’s animation brings together these themes cohesively, in a harmonious way that plays on her animation strength and attitude. https://player.vimeo.com/video/249393804?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/14383/island-of-the-deceased-ji-hyeon-kim 2023-07-21T08:15:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/14385/boogie-stomp-pink-stuart-pound 2023-07-21T08:15:01.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/щзешузке.png Boogie Stomp Pink - short film by Stuart Pound A Boogie dance performed by William & Maeva was downloaded from the internet and vertical sections taken from each frame arranged into 24 panels to show pattern and movement across each second. https://player.vimeo.com/video/211205806?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/14386/too-tame-rebecca-bloecher 2023-07-21T08:14:56.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2023-04-04_125142.jpg Too Tame!

Become a little piece of unwanted music, that keeps looping for the rest of your day. Neurologists claim that stuck songs are like thoughts we're trying to suppress. The harder we try not to think about them, the more we can't help it. The phenomenon is also known as earworms, and the ongoing ‘dim di da da dum’ causes a kind of brain itch you can't scratch. Jazz that nobody asked for is an ode to all those unwanted songs out there, that have nowhere to go. The music that haunts this film, is the amazing swing jazz tune 'Quaker City Jazz' by the long forgotten ‘Jan Savitt and his Top Hatters’. In 1937 they were the first jazz big band to feature an african american vocalist. The film is made without any financing, and has no commercial purpose. The love of all things animated has been the driving force for the small team of 3 persons that has created it. https://player.vimeo.com/video/59584804?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/14589/me-ekaterina-zhuzhleva 2023-07-21T08:04:30.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/pict3518801569.jpg Me (Я) - short film by Katya Zhuzhleva Video for the song "Me" by the group Give the tank (!). https://www.youtube.com/embed/hGIo_yjhe_E?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/14591/under-the-canopy-bastien-dupriez 2023-07-21T07:47:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/under-the-canopy.jpg Under the Canopy (Sous la canopée) - short film by Bastien Dupriez Birds-of-paradise, sporting their most beautiful plumage, sing and intrigue in the heart of the tropical forest.

More than eight million metric tons of plastic waste (bags, bottles, packaging, and more) end up in the oceans each year according to Science magazine. To raise awareness about this pollution crisis and help people understand the impact on marine life, five students from the MoPA School of Computer Graphic Animation in Arles, France, created a 3D animated film, called Hybrids. The film depicts an amazing ocean world that imagines how sea creatures might adapt to the polluted environment. Hybrids won over audiences and won numerous awards and helped the five team members launch their careers in the visual effects industry. A student project with an environmental focus As MoPA students, the five Hybrids co-directors had committed to a rigorous five-year program studying the art and technology of computer graphics and animation. For their final graduation project, Florian Brauch, Matthieu Pujol, Kim Tailhades, Yohan Thirion, and Romain Thirion came together with their complementary skills and interests to create a short film. “Each of us had our own strengths in different fields,” says Pujol. “Florian was the animator, for example, and I was the effects artist. We had a lighting artist [Tailhades], a compositing artist [Thirion], and also an animator and rigger [Thireau].” The students quickly identified a compelling theme to showcase in their graduate films. “Four of us grew up by the sea, and that’s why we chose the theme of pollution,” says Brauch. “The idea came from Romain, who is from Cannes in the south of France.” He used to dive to look at underwater animals. As time went by, he noticed fewer and fewer fish and more and more garbage. “Every time I saw something shiny buried in the sand, thinking it was an interesting life form, it turned out to be a bottle cap.” Once the team members settled on the idea of hybrids, they began developing the characters for the film’s cast. “We started with some of the most ic... https://player.vimeo.com/video/296191192?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 360 https://vurchel.com/v/14615/the-wound-anna-budanova 2023-07-21T07:46:27.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2023-04-07_111411.jpg The Wound (Обида) - short film by Anna Budanova A little girl suffers from an emotional wound. In her imagination, the “wound” takes on a life of its own, in the form of a shaggy creature that becomes her best friend. They grow up together and, firmly ensconced in the mind of the girl, the wound starts to control her life completely. Based on impressions from the author's own childhood, the starting point for the film was the creation of a shaggy black creature, The Wound, which increasingly gains presence and becomes the girl's closest companion. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eUkAttPgosk?autoplay=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/14634/venus-savio-leite 2023-07-21T07:46:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-04-07_12-54-47.png Venus (Vênus: Filó, a Fadinha Lésbica) - short film by Savio Leite In this animated fairy-tale Filly, a lesbian fairy with nimble fingers, seduces women by day dressed as a boy.

Furthermore, Seth Schwarz adds the solo track “Quando Rando” that is slower but just as compelling and that reflects the classical composition skills of this producer in an intriguingly subliminal way. The amount of great producers who contribute remixes for this EP lives up to the idea of a perfect festival, as well – a festival for lovers of catchy yet sophisticated dance music, that is. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S5nRqcdRMXA?autoplay=0 420 https://vurchel.com/v/14792/skates-maria-yakushina 2023-07-21T07:34:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/uytuyt.png Skates (Коньки) - short film by Maria Yakushina "Skates" is a light winter mood and joy that fills life with positive emotions and vivid impressions.

Whether by seeking safety, God or the Cosmos, the impulse that moves mankind forwards is the same that impels us upwards, erecting step after step, floor over floor, era upon era, on the slow but steady human journey towards the stars.

We all are sharing something that we are unaware of, creating one big picture we are unable to see. The film explores the idea of how everyone is connected in a way we may not realise. By sharing time, space and movement, we overlap and create a bigger picture. We all are walking down our own line of time, believing we live in our own time line, however this line constantly overlaps with the line of others – or perhaps we all are moving on the same line – and all lines are connected through a constant process of change. https://player.vimeo.com/video/369608371?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/14830/the-dream-report-jack-oshea 2023-07-21T07:33:37.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/dream_report_still_5large.jpg The Dream Report - short film by Jack O’Shea (trailer) A deadpan sci-fi interweaving moments of familiar routine with esoteric messages from deep space. https://player.vimeo.com/video/331111953?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/14832/be-hold-gilnaz-arzpeyma 2023-07-21T07:33:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/загруженное.jpg Be Hold - short film by Gilnaz Arzpeyma Performances of two contemporary dancers are juxtaposed and reassembled in a frame by frame investigation, probing the self-perception of attraction and repulsion. https://player.vimeo.com/video/362333283?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 60 https://vurchel.com/v/14837/live-a-little-jenny-jokela 2023-07-21T07:33:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-04-11_00-11-18.png Live a Little - short film by Jenny Jokela Live a Little is a visual poem about the anxieties and struggles of fitting in and acting in accordance with the social norms of how a young woman should behave https://player.vimeo.com/video/388028277?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/14845/cleaning-in-progress-grant-holden 2023-07-21T07:33:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Skwigly-Cleaning-in-Progress.jpg Cleaning in Progress - short film by Grant Holden Working in a car park, tensions arise between a naïve, young cleaner and his old-timer talking brush in their differences of approach and attitude where ultimately, one cannot do their job without the other https://player.vimeo.com/video/279758979?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 360 https://vurchel.com/v/14852/moth-ewa-luczkow 2023-07-21T07:33:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/screenGrab.00578.jpg Moth - short film by Ewa Luczkow Jumping between reality and fantasy, Moth follows 8-year old Mabil as she escapes the troubles of her family with her vivid daydreams and imaginary moth friend.

Mournful yet resolute, the lovers’ final parting valediction also offers a glimpse of a possible future, and the hope of a new world, when they pledge to meet each other again, “where it all began, at The Worlds End". https://www.youtube.com/embed/OwjOYfnv7sg?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/15573/flamingo-bianca-just 2023-07-20T16:15:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Безымянный-1545.jpg Flamingo - short film by Julia Ocker, Ralf Bohde A cheeky muddy piglet is disturbing the flamingo's elegant hen party. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2ycQFpGCjK4?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/15574/back-with-the-gang-greg-doble 2023-07-20T16:15:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/изображение_2023-04-24_163902524.png Back With the Gang - short film by Greg Doble music-video https://www.youtube.com/embed/7ZUzoJR8afk?autoplay=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/15579/butterflies-elizabeth-khlomova 2023-07-20T16:15:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Безымянный-1111.jpg Butterflies (Бабочки) - short film by Elizabeth Khlomova One early sunny morning, two girls start a game of butterflies.

The space was named minapa which means “smile all together” in the Ainu language in the hope of celebrating people's sense of affinity to this space. The Ainu people constitute an indigenous population of Hokkaido, Northeast of Honshu, Sakhalin, Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula. KAPARAMIP, CICIRI, TETARAPE and RUUNPE refer to different types of kimonos and patterns made by Ainu creators. Patterns are designed, according to the different regions and families, with shaped cut-out clothes, white or colored, and embroideries. These patterns might be inspired by forms from nature, connected to the Ainu daylife and their spirituality. The four animations are a tribute to this art, giving life to elementary forms that evolve infinitely by repetition, dancing in rhythm with the traditional Ainu music Ukouk. "Sirki" meen "pattern" in Ainu language. The project consist in a collection of 4 films around 2 min length. https://player.vimeo.com/video/320706949?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/15622/eclipse-jacky-de-groen 2023-07-20T16:14:16.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/15626/plop-art-naghmeh-farzaneh 2023-07-20T16:14:12.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2023-04-24_в_21.49.06.png Plop Art - short film by Naghmeh Farzaneh An old woman's laundry turns to work of art with a little inspiration from above!! https://player.vimeo.com/video/67685999?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 120 https://vurchel.com/v/15628/peili-peace-pipe-erkki-ramet 2023-07-20T16:14:05.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/15631/echoes-eleanor-evans 2023-07-20T16:14:01.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/15633/i-do-not-miss-you-anymore-diego-rotmistrovsky 2023-07-20T16:13:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/15634/the-shkafovs-andrei-bakhurin 2023-07-20T16:13:52.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/shkafovi.png The Shkafovs (Шкафовы) - short film by Andrey Bakhurin (trailer) Everything is not easy in the world of women https://www.youtube.com/embed/_Aa_34qtSio?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/15637/sororal-frederic-even-louise-mercadier 2023-07-20T16:13:47.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/соро.png Sororal (Sororelle) - short film by Frederic Even, Louise Mercadier Three sisters are facing an impending disaster: the imminent flooding by the Sea of the lands where they live.

She manages to bat the memories away, but only up to a point. It is a lyrical film about the powerful feeling that seemingly completely insignificant objects from our childhood evoke in us. https://www.youtube.com/embed/h8rYtaDjHPA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/16662/the-package-zina-shcherbatova 2023-07-20T15:38:25.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/16663/the-music-that-you-play-nikolaus-jantsch 2023-07-20T15:38:19.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/16665/incomplete-dalena-tran 2023-07-20T15:38:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_10_1.png Incomplete - short film by Dalena Tran A fantastic experimental project by Los Angeles-based media artist Dalena Tran. Set to music by Ash Koosha, “Incomplete” pays homage to what artist and media theorist Hito Steyerl referred to as the ‘poor image.’ That is, an image which is collected, copied and processed to the point of disorientation and anonymity. The image is not one but consists of many while still maintaining a contour of coherency. We’ve seen a lot of people experimenting with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) but the visuals with the music here feel quite poetic almost spiritual. As Tran explains: “This audiovisual project is a reverie of an increasingly virtualized world that is submerged into a constant flow of information and disparate impressions that takes shape as a rupture in linear time and slow-burning anxieties. Comprised of a single take, the camera follows anonymous bodies in perpetual free-fall; moving through an endless choreography of updating images that reflect a world in constant change.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/IGHpIJnrdvs?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/16672/little-things-camille-burles-andreea-ciora-lou-fraleu-manon-lambert-clara-mesple-chloe-viala 2023-07-20T15:38:09.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_15_1.png Little Things - short film by Clara Mesple, Camille Burles, Lou Fraleu, Chloé Viala, Manon Lambert,… Six talented graduates from Georges Méliès animation school in Orly, France, present this poignant animated promo for Paris-based singer-songwriter Kriill. It features a little cow called Meurie, who encounters a giant who will destroy her idyllic world. Both sweetly illustrated and uncompromising, Little Things is powerfully effective in showing the devastating impact modern animal farming has on both animals and the environment at large. The video is a surreal, dreamlike trip through the grim reality of agri-business, with a heartwrenching message. Already picking up awards at several international festivals, the short film is a tour de force of creativity and collaboration, and lingers long after watching. A must-watch from a talented group of up and comers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NwxJaT3LzcY?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/16674/actionfilm-nico-dorle 2023-07-20T15:38:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/16676/true-love-marcus-feist 2023-07-20T15:37:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/изображение_2023-05-19_132527403.png True Love - short film by Marcus Feist Funny story on the way. https://player.vimeo.com/video/121654898?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 60 https://vurchel.com/v/16680/power-paladin-creatures-of-the-night-lauren-ambry-ella-mcshortall-olivia-tang 2023-07-20T15:37:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_20_1.png Creatures of the Night - short film by Lauren Ambry, Ella McShortall, Olivia Tang Adventurers, heed the call of Icelandic newcomers POWER PALADIN as they have finally unleashed their debut album »With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel« via Atomic Fire Records! The six-piece kick-start their journey of conquering the hearts of power metal fanatics globally today with a record that delivers nine highly infectious anthems. POWER PALADIN: "We still remember that moment after we just finished recording our first album with our no-name band on an island with a total number of inhabitants of less than 375,000, not that far from the North pole and suddenly got hit with a record deal and started to hear that people were actually anticipating the record. It was a kind of a weird situation to be in. We were also joking about how fun it would be to create an animated video for one of our songs and laughed at the idea cause we only know a tiny fraction of the work that is involved in creating such a video, and it is a lot. That's why we were even more surprised when RMIT University signalised their interest in making an animated video for our song 'Creatures Of The Night' as they usually choose from a "highly classified" list of bands that they work with. The whole process was very enjoyable and it was very fun to watch how the sketches slowly turned into form. We would like to thank RMIT University, Simon Norton, his students and all those who helped make this video become reality. It blew all our expectations out of the water and we think it could not have turned out better. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do." https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ri5B53e7Abw?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/16684/nomad-abdulrahman-el-abyad-lynne-zakhour-tamara-qaddoumi 2023-07-20T15:37:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_26_1.png Nomad - short film by Tamara Qaddoumi, Abdulrahman El Abyad, lynne Zakhour By the light of fireflies, the whispers of mythical snakes, and the ushering of a myriad of under worldly creatures, Nomad illustrates the twist and turns of a journey to the individuation of the spirit.

Memories are like dreams. When we try to remember a place or something the images we have are always amplified by our imagination. The emotions tighten to the place enrich our own memories, they decorate it with new elements, they reinvent reality as it is making it like a dream or and illusion, everything suddenly becomes surreal. In the video the images, we have hidden in the memories, flow like dreams carried by the wind. In Trieste the wind is a very strong and present element and it carries everything through the mountains, the city, the sea. So the dreams become seagulls surfing the wind. https://player.vimeo.com/video/681862431?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/16695/paper-trails-andrea-schneider 2023-07-20T15:37:26.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_45_1.png Paper Trails - short film by Andrea Schneider Music video I find memorabilia about us.

The Sunset Special is an audiovisual, interdisciplinary, multimedia project centered around an animated short film and revolving around issues of consumerism, the growing digital world and their effect on the mindful use of attention. The project deals with the effects of reality distorting imagery and narrative spread by social media and advertisement through new technologies. It examines their connection to nostalgia, desires, and wanderlust and deconstructs the perfectly customized, digital products: The idea of the unique trip, the perfect partner, the ideal life...

There is no story to tell, there are no captions nor a moral to explain: everything you see is a dreamlike metaphor we would like the audience to experience, and which only serves as an accompaniment and a listening guide to the song. The obsession presented by the lyrics, music and images is the fulcrum of everything: it can be considered as a distorted vision, for example, of one's own interest; and the insertion of disturbing imagery allows the right connection between the dots, without one prevailing over the others. https://www.youtube.com/embed/a5KBcFfc228?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/16895/grannys-sexual-life-urska-djukic 2026-01-05T14:18:31.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Photo_1_Grannys_Sexual_Life_Official_1.jpg Granny's Sexual Life - short film by Urška Djukić, Émilie Pigeard (trailer) Four old women, reflect on their memories of old times when they were young and how different the relationships between men and women were back then.

This is a real-time rendered short film fully made from 3D scans all about this quote. Realitude is a real-time rendered short film fully made of 3D scans. I wanted to accept the artificiality of synthesized images. The « errors », which break the illusion of realism, move me because they bear a shared humanity between the artist and the computer. So, I chose to work with 3D scans for their ambiguity : they are half-physical, half-virtual. In Gaston Bachelard’s sentence, later quoted by Yves Klein, (« First there is nothing, next there is a depth of nothingness, then a blue profundity. »), this « blue profundity » made me think of the virtuality which goes out of the current world to lose itself in a floating infinity. We, as human beings, are constantly experiencing both realities : in a limited body we are able to formulate the idea of infinity. The 3D scanning technique is about taking real elements from the current world and turning them into avatars of the other world. It’s about materializing the virtual. And in the end, we might witness a convergence : the human being appears to be a biological machine when the machine turns out unpredictable — alive ? https://www.youtube.com/embed/tpqYzvLpIMw?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/16919/the-wave-giovanni-antonio-aguilar-gutierrez-eleanor-rosetta-mary-evans 2023-07-20T15:21:23.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-06-19_115645.png The Wave - short film by Giovanni Antonio Aguilar Gutierrez, Eleanor Rosetta Mary Evans The Wave is the latest project by musician/animation team Opalised Toucan AKA Eleanor Evans and Giovanni Aguilar Gutierrez.

The road is the road under each person's feet. The road is always in the process of becoming, changing and unfolding. The road has not yet reached the end, so it is called unnamed. In the film, the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind express the various encounters of individual life in the world.

Patterns are designed, according to the different regions and families, with shaped cut-out clothes, white or colored, and embroideries.

The four animations are a tribute to this art, giving life to elementary forms that evolve infinitely by repetition, dancing in rhythm with the traditional Ainu music Ukouk. https://player.vimeo.com/video/304787131?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 60 https://vurchel.com/v/17577/lampianu-jacqui-baffico 2023-08-08T11:43:35.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_(529).png Lampianu - short film by Jacqui Baffico Patricio struggles as he navigates the final moments of a doomed relationship alone. https://player.vimeo.com/video/468634172?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/17581/see-you-where-theres-music-bela-bulgakova 2023-08-09T17:46:27.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/17582/1-2-ekaterina-zhuzhleva 2023-08-09T19:09:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-08-09_225532.png 1/2 - short film by Katya Zhuzhleva 1/2 is a poem about one specific person leaving me.

Produced by Ryini Beats and Terry Blade, the lyrics were drawn from Terry's personal self-reflections on self-identity. The song features two representations of Terry's inner voice--a grown-up version and an inner-child version.

Natural materials were used in the film: driftwood of interesting shapes, pieces of wood, dried exotic plants. To realize the idea of working “from sound,” the directors held several musical jams with the guys. Everyone took any thing that made a sound, and from the general sound chaos they created a single harmonious melody. This recreated the primary school reception of the film - the creatures living in the forest sound unusual and, playing together, create a melody. https://player.vimeo.com/video/859637704?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/18527/together-body-and-soul-vasile-alboiu-liviu-gabriel-dinu 2023-10-15T19:53:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/0001.1677576025_2.jpg Together, body and soul (Together, body and soul) - short film by Vasile Alboiu, Liviu Gabriel Dinu… Madame S. is marrying her beautiful daughter to Mr. Gluand, a rich old doctor.

And finds himself in a strange house, with cardboard furniture and foam chairs. This house differed from ordinary houses not only by strange furniture, but also by the doors drawn on the walls and, accordingly, not leading anywhere. Trying to make sense of such mysterious surroundings our hero discovers a vast brightly lit room. Almost completing his exploration, he suddenly discovers two little girls above his head, curiously examining him. His attempt to leave in English fails - the girls' tenacious hands prove more nimble. As a result, the devil was dressed according to all the laws of the puppet genre: in a petticoat, pantaloons and heeled shoes painted in silver stars. And if it had only ended with those ridiculous star shoes. Unbeknownst to them, a small orchestra was pulled out of nowhere, made up of completely bizarre musicians playing completely inconceivable instruments. And the performance began, where the main and only hero for some reason absolutely does not want to become neither an opera star, nor a ballet star, nor any other dancing and not only dancing star...". https://www.youtube.com/embed/MdadEjSa9uU?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/18604/fly-patty-stenger 2023-10-30T15:15:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/18606/why-are-cockroaches-so-hard-to-kill-irida-zhonga 2023-10-17T10:38:43.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2023-10-16_16-43-56.png Why Are Cockroaches So Hard To Kill? - short film by Irida Zhonga In ancient Egypt, there was a spell that declared, “Be far from me, O vile cockroach.” Thousands of years later, we’re still trying to oust these insects.

Their metamorphosis collides the evolutionary course with its opposite - the tree grows and buries his crown back into the earth, the world returns to primal matter, the consumer is consumed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/K7B49rRuTks?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/19069/dolphin-boy-mohammad-kheirandish-andrey-gogolev 2024-05-27T21:52:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/annecy_festival_shout_(6).jpg Dolphin Boy (Мальчик-дельфин پسر دلفینی به) - film by Mohammad KheirAndish, Andrey Gogolev (tr… Dolphin Snowball rescues a little boy who survived a plane crash in the waves.

Generations later, their granddaughter weaves a dreamlike story of the untold past crossing into the present. I will take your shadow is an experimental autobiographical animated film consisting of hundreds of hand-made monotype drawings and prints that have been digitally combined and manipulated. In the years 1939-1940, the two brothers Jancsi and Bandi were forced to leave Vienna while fleeing the Nazi regime. They sailed for a few months aboard the refugee ship Darien II in a desperate search for a safe home and arrived at what was known as British Palestine. Today, the director, Jancsi’s granddaughter, is lost in her own dreams, which bring the past of the men in her family into her everyday reality. The untold transforms into a search for all that is lost, yet persists and unfolds in its absence. The film offers a glimpse into a world where waking and dreaming are equally real, where passed down stories become a constant reality. https://player.vimeo.com/video/724143084?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/19410/to-the-brink-hugo-docking 2024-07-31T05:10:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19411/the-last-biscuit-amy-fitzpatrick 2023-11-03T09:10:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19412/fires-feux-mohammad-babakoohi 2024-08-04T18:01:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19414/oscar-sixtine-bonnot 2023-11-03T09:17:31.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-11-03_131332.png Oscar - short film by Sixtine Bonnot Régis, an old widowed man living alone with his canary that he loves more than anything, leads a quiet life which is disrupted by the move of a noisy neighbor across the street from his house. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YZ2dcdp7VEM?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/19416/the-generalas-room-georges 2023-11-03T13:02:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/thegeneralsroom_vid.jpg The General’s Room - short film by Georges Marion A young boy’s understanding of his parents’ decision to sell their old family house will confront him with his family’s roots, and blur the border between past and present. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nbqm6N8spGk?autoplay=0 480 https://vurchel.com/v/19419/dandelion-ling-zhao-zhengwu-gu 2023-11-03T13:32:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19423/pipas-q-lili-toth 2023-11-03T13:44:54.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Pipas-02.png Pipás (Pipás) - short film by Lili Tóth (trailer) Steve the Piper (Pipás Pista) was a dreadful serial killer between the two World Wars in the Hungarian Great Plain.

After she wakes up in her bed, the film’s pace slows down and at first it seems like this will be a story about the aftermath of a severe injury. Only moments later do we find out what is actually at stake: Lilly will have to fight evil creatures inside an apartment that doubles as a mixture between purgatory and a sort of coping-mechanism manifested as a delusion in her own mind. Lily literally has to confront her demons, and only if she manages to overcome the frightening foes and obstacles in front of her, will she get a chance to return to reality. But does she have the necessary strength and willpower to do so? Bollig’s real life story, and her short, are life-affirming testaments to the power of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. As the director puts it perfectly herself, “What looks like a quiet, personal journey to health on the outside is a chaotic battle on the inside. After going through this accident, I couldn’t help but want to put a face to this type of pain and in doing so, I’d put a face to the healing.” In the process of sharing the film with audiences, Bollig has found connection with viewers who approached her to share their own “stories about physical trauma, heartbreak, loss, and all the things we all eventually encounter.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/7c2Gb8y77WM?autoplay=0 840 https://vurchel.com/v/19554/river-union-casa-museu-vilar 2023-11-07T07:26:51.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-11-06_183910.png River Union - short film by Casa Museu Vilar Animation film based on the book “Moinho do Meio” https://player.vimeo.com/video/852283738?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 120 https://vurchel.com/v/19555/desordem-musical-casa-museu-vilar 2023-11-07T07:27:37.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-11-06_184147.png Des(ordem) Musical - short film by Casa Museu Vilar For an orchestra there are several instruments, even the most unlikely can add something again and surprise us. https://player.vimeo.com/video/846251533?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/19557/jerk-raine-allen-miller 2023-11-07T07:35:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19560/coming-home-naim-naif-margot-bowman 2023-11-07T07:45:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-11-06_185409.png Coming Home - short film by Margot Bowman, Naim Naif Intimate portrait of Freedom Dabka Group, a group of Palestinian-American performers who use the traditional Dabka dance as a means to connect to their community, their culture, and each other.

In the years since, with sea levels rising and erosion accelerating, more and more coastal land has been overtaken by water. For Louisiana’s coastal parishes, reduced wetlands mean the areas are more vulnerable to flooding. In the absence of ample wetlands acting as a kind of sponge, future hurricanes of similar magnitudes, travelling unimpeded over the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, will be even more destructive. And the attrition of the land is of deep personal significance to coastal communities. “For people in south Louisiana, this is an existential issue,” Hanninen said. “These are places that they know, and that their parents knew, and they’re vanishing.” Paavo Hanninen’s documentary looks at a surprisingly simple intervention with the potential to slow runaway land loss along the state’s fragile coast. https://player.vimeo.com/video/673443638?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/19569/documentary-survival-kit-filipe-cansado-luis-ribeiro-nicolas-freitas 2023-11-07T08:12:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19572/moon-mole-laura-goncalves-leonor-pacheco-dimitri-mihajlovic-alexandra-ramires 2025-02-13T09:54:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19574/reclaiming-the-colour-children-from-ovar-primary-school-6 2023-11-07T08:15:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/19583/youare-now-beyond-hope-arizona-nick-dugan 2023-11-07T08:18:36.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screen+Shot+2022-05-18+at+12.44.34+AM_.png You’re Now Beyond Hope, Arizona - short film by Nick Dugan An alcoholic drifts into a remote town to pay off a debt, but instead crosses paths with a magnetic AA sponsor. https://player.vimeo.com/video/800698283?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 1320 https://vurchel.com/v/19593/earthworm-grace-gregory 2023-11-07T08:26:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/8f7caf_a7541a34fac44686a7e1ad3f725683e3~mv2.webp Earthworm - short film by Grace Gregory An unwanted pregnancy provokes disturbing hallucinations for twenty-year-old Claire, and what should be a routine abortion becomes a waking nightmare with lasting repercussions https://player.vimeo.com/video/801818003?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 840 https://vurchel.com/v/19597/warmth-caroline-soares-gwenaelle-de-ville-patricia-lopes 2023-11-07T08:27:43.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/dfFDSDFA.jpg Warmth - short film by Gwenaëlle de Ville, Caroline Soares, Patrícia Lopes Gwenaëlle de Ville: "I made this animatic during my Erasmus at University of Lusofona in Lisbon (2022-2023) I had to make a short film with two other classmates, long of 3min related to something linked to our origin or our life.

Constructed using the principles of Walter Segal, self-builders were offered long-term discounted rents in return for building the homes. Through interviews with the original self-builders, historians, architects and economists, this new documentary from the Architecture Foundation celebrates the legacy of Nubia Way and examines self-building as an act of resistance against the housing discrimination faced by Black British Communities. https://player.vimeo.com/video/806136462?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 1260 https://vurchel.com/v/19656/burden-of-proof-chilling-one-take-about-an-abusive-ex-aase-wiig-as 2023-11-08T16:05:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-11-08_150711.png Burden of Proof (Bevisbyrden) - short film by Ivar Aase In this chilling one-take short, a woman meets her abusive ex on a bridge where it’s her word against his. https://www.youtube.com/embed/p9mSBjDHre0?autoplay=0 540 https://vurchel.com/v/19662/allegress-gillie-cinneri 2023-11-13T09:55:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/screenshot_2023-07-24_11.28_42_.png Allégresse - short film by Gillie Cinneri (trailer) While he had to take care of his daughter Inès, whom he was not very close, Serge, a funeral officer, was entrusted with the ashes of a stranger.

Queer coming out stories are well documented, but the occurrence of telling friends, family, co-workers and strangers that you are autistic is less explored. Parallels with queer experiences are investigated and a wide range of individuals are interviewed to express the array of feelings and reactions that are encountered. Animation heightens the emotion, conceals the identity of the speakers and presents themes of pride, joy, shame, introversion, respect and torment. The animation also emphasises the passionate, funny and important words and actions that are witnessed. Coming out Autistic is an original queer short film, shot and animated on mobile devices. https://player.vimeo.com/video/702540814?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20042/evil-does-not-exist-aeaeaaaeaeae-ryusuke-hamaguchi 2024-05-27T22:13:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1483806.jpg Evil Does Not Exist (悪は存在しない) - film by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (trailer) In a village outside Tokyo, Takumi and his daughter Hana live in harmony with nature, just like the other inhabitants.

Scott A cute foil for humanity acting as an exploration of free-will and "space time", creating ambiguity around the concept of individualism by showing all of humanity`s cataclysms and culls being played along one linear timeline - inspired partly by the Bayeux Tapestry. "Cuties" asks whether we as a species are doomed to repeat the same violent cycles of decimation and rebirth within our societies at large - as history would seem to indicate. Is annihilation woven into the fabric of our DNA? Or will our next evolutionary leap transcend humanity into a collective consciousness; a world-wide singularity. For now, you can witness countless atrocities committed by a homogenised (and rather cute) human that asks the question, are we all one entity experiencing life subjectively and if so why are we so cruel to ourselves? https://www.youtube.com/embed/ol0zkcbk1BI?autoplay=0 300 https://vurchel.com/v/20073/a-day-in-february-klaas-diersman 2023-11-16T10:46:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_2023-11-16_134539.png A Day in February - short film by Klaas Diersmann (trailer) In another country, far away from her family, one phone call is all Galyna has to ensure their safety. https://player.vimeo.com/video/823286610?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20075/her-own-truth-agnieszka-kruczek 2023-11-17T11:48:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Own_Truth_02.jpg Her Own Truth (Własna Prawda) - short film by Agnieszka Kruczek (trailer) They planned to spend only three months in Germany.

In this documentary animation the narrator is remembering her own story. A nostalgic film about loneliness, longing and the unpredictability of human faith around which the audience is guided by a little girl and Barnaby the bear, while the lullaby ‘From the Ashtray of Wojtuś…’ can be heard in the background. https://player.vimeo.com/video/825464659?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20077/every-five-miles-vincent-lambe 2023-11-17T11:49:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/imagesпгенль.jpg Every Five Miles - short film by Vincent Lambe (trailer) A petrol station attendant is drawn into the harsh world of a trafficked immigrant car washer, torn between speaking out at the risk of losing everything. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TLdoOP6_uYU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20086/us-and-between-katia-shannon 2023-11-17T11:54:51.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/904445c4-f9bb-4033-9e7b-de8463c56e2c_rwc_87x0x3832x2160x3832.jpg Us And Between - short film by Katia Shannon (trailer) Two long-lost lovers in their 80s, Agnes and Eddie, reignite their flame against all odds with hilarious and touching consequences. https://player.vimeo.com/video/844740118?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20088/couple-in-a-room-smoking-cigarettes-katarzyna-gondek 2024-05-27T22:12:37.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1x6-W10_-44cbad62ab82ada714a45e69e848f79d.jpeg Couple in a room smoking cigarettes - short film by Katarzyna Gondek Love has been depicted on screen thousands of times, in a myriad of ways, but cinematic love never quite captures the gritty reality of devoting yourself to one person for the entirety of your life. Whilst romance on the big screen means fireworks and dramatic gestures, in real-life, true love is more about finding that one person who completes you, that one person who shares your passion and puts up with your sh*t.

Inspired by keening, a traditional form of vocal lament for the dead, director Laura Conlon employs poetic visuals and a fragmented editing style to depict her protagonist’s torment. Provocative imagery and rich textures accompany the film’s dense soundscape, which draws from recorded performances of an Irish keen alongside scripted dialogue and creates an atmosphere of both serenity and agitation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CyzG5SB_2yk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20116/homebird-dir.caleb-j.roberts 2023-11-19T09:05:32.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/IMG_2775-min.jpg Homebird - short film by Caleb J.

Over 80,000 unmarried mothers were incarcerated in institutions run by nuns from 1922 to 1998. Most were cruelly separated from their babies shortly after birth. Many of the children were adopted within Ireland and abroad – unaware of their birth story and untraceable by their mothers. Others were fostered out as cheap farm labour from the age of six, often in circumstances abysmally devoid of care and love. 9,000 babies and children died in these institutions from 1922 to 1998, a rate that, on occasion, was five times the national average infant mortality rate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_CXFktXhofw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20344/somewhere-here-juanita-wilson 2023-11-27T13:07:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/20346/rat-sarah-gordon 2023-11-22T17:59:24.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/64481A67-693D-4188-98AE-435F385136A4.jpg Rat - short film by Sarah Gordon Trapped in the house by her agoraphobia, Carol endures a toxic and suffocating marriage.

The aerial images show barren landscapes, dotted with shabby houses, animals and a few human figures. We scarcely have time to wonder where we are when a text appears on the screen directly addressing the viewer: we are in Syrian Kurdistan, liberated from the occupation of the Islamic State, whose jihadist members are currently in prison. The woman who speaks has been given permission to question them; about their ideas, their past and the future. The Kurdish filmmaker Zaynê Akyol, who made a great impression on the Visions du Réel audience in 2016 with GULÎSTAN, LAND OF ROSES, shows towards them dialectic behaviour typical of those who want to understand before they pass sentence. Their stories thus take shape, framed by a mise en scène that shifts between words, faces and aerial views of the landscape. An unexpected look at a far-reaching current political issue and a film whose subject matter and rhythm create an impressive cinematographic object. https://www.youtube.com/embed/RKZLDknyB2s?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20680/-6568af36e4cee 2023-12-09T09:35:24.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/e0d4ea8d47483a2bbbb62c739150a9d8.jpg Solo - film by Sophie Dupuis (trailer) Follows Simon, who must deal with the disappointment of two impossible loves: a passionate but destructive crush on Oliver and a distant and cold relationship with his mother Claire, who has just moved back in after a 15-year absence. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Ky_EMSKdAU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20713/the-boy-in-the-woods-rebecca-snow 2023-12-09T09:36:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/218187757.jpg The Boy in the Woods - film by Rebecca Snow (trailer) The remarkable true-life survival story of a Jewish boy hiding and being hunted in the forests of Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bEmEF4ALkLU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/20722/disappearing-dad-andrey-rubetskoy 2023-11-30T22:14:03.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/ISCH_PAPA_001_1_tild.webp Disappearing Dad (Исчезающий папа) - short film by Andrey Rubetskoy Something suspicious and scary is going on in a little happy family.

Surrounded by loneliness and a society without colour, Marshal finds solace in a single blue flower that seems to guide them towards their closet?! The animation follows along into the representational portal of their inner mind. Through the portal, Marshall finds themselves and their environment completely transformed. Fueled by curiosity and the breathtaking desert landscape, Marshal discovers an ability to grow flowers. In little to no time, Marshall transforms the desert into a magical, flower filled world. In this bliss, they discover the power of queer identity, and the ability it has to change the landscape. However, just like any liminal world, it is simply a transitional space, and he soon comes to realise that he must return to the ‘real’. The film leaves the audience wondering if Marshall will be able to hold the hope they have found, and bring it back to the outside world? https://www.youtube.com/embed/DilH3-X7Kwo?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/20891/like-the-wind-hugh-saint-jacques-ethan-shandro 2023-12-09T10:26:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/20896/bloom-kasey-lum 2023-12-09T10:26:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/bloom_tiff_1x1promo3.webp Bloom - short film by Kasey Lum (trailer) Fragile after a breakup, Laurel (played by Jodi Balfour) searches for stability, only to form a strange connection with a houseplant.

With the educated support of her family and medical caregivers, Jamie not only survived, but made a full recovery, helping revolutionize early stage TBI treatment, change protocol surrounding family involvement, and now inspiring others. This award-winning documentary film takes viewers through Jamie’s story, interviewing Jamie’s ICU neuro doctor, the first responder who intubated Jamie on the mountain and a family the MoCrazy Strong team has given peer to peer brain injury guidance too.

Unlike real humans, metahumans are not born and they don’t die. Although they function a lot like game avatars, and they don’t have any form of conceousness, the aim of the metahuman is to pose as a real human. Many are developed to replace real humans online, such as functioning as representatives, models, actors, influencers, etc. Today, people talk about "body shame" and individual beauty, but many still want to achieve perfection. The desire for perfection has been transferred to the digital space. This might cause an even more unrealistic standard for perfection, because the changes that can be made to metahumans are more extreme than those that can be made to real humans. They are not dependent on reality and they often have no "original" to refer to. The First Metahuman is a social commentary on the growing dichotomy between the increasing pressure of humans in society and the proliferation of our digital counterparts. It asks the question: do we need to compete with metahumans in the future? https://player.vimeo.com/video/822692208?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/21582/the-choolers-fish-meat-monsieur-pimpant 2025-02-16T09:34:45.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/0001.1698145937.jpg The Choolers: Viandes & Poissons - short film by Monsieur Pimpant (trailer) “Viandes et Poisson” pulls you into the world of experimental hip-hop group Choolers Division, whose members are artists-in-residence at the art brut center La S in Belgium.

Though they transport the crate with the greatest care, they can’t prevent it from breaking open repeatedly. And each time a smaller crate appears. The girl who eventually receives the crate finds a whistle inside.

The film is a celebration of the beauty and power of the natural world, and aims to inspire hope and positivity through an abstract yet captivating message. The film begins in a desolate and colorless desert. The once-thriving ecosystem has been reduced to a barren wasteland, devoid of life and vitality. As the film progresses, we see the first signs of life emerging from the parched earth in a literal explosion of life and color. Flowers unfurl and tiny sprouts erupt from the dry soil, reaching up towards the sun. As more and more plants take root, the desert begins to transform before our eyes. The once-barren landscape is now teeming with life. The camera pulls out to reveal a breathtaking vista of rolling hills and verdant valleys where desert wastelands once stood. Through its stunning visuals and evocative soundtrack, Flora reminds us of the incredible power of nature to overcome adversity and thrive in even the harshest environments. https://player.vimeo.com/video/861813479?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 60 https://vurchel.com/v/21658/boat-people-thao-lam-and-kjell-boersma-canada-2023-9a-english 2024-08-11T16:43:41.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/boat-people-01_(1).jpg Boat People - short film by Thao Lam, Kjell Boersma (trailer) As a little girl in Vietnam, Thao’s mother would rescue ants from bowls of sugar water. The tiny creatures would later return the favour, leading her desperate family through darkness—and pointing the way to safety. Adapted from illustrator and author Thao Lam’s book The Paper Boat, the film draws upon her own family’s dramatic and turbulent journey as refugees fleeing the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Boat People harnesses the talents of animator Kjell Boersma in retaining the hand-crafted look of the original illustrations in service to a compelling narrative that both parallels and contrasts human survival with the instinctual behaviour of ants. https://player.vimeo.com/video/814761713?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/21667/mums-spaghetti-lisa-kenney 2025-03-11T08:36:37.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/mums-spag_1.1.34.jpg Mum's Spaghetti - short film by Lisa Kenney (trailer) MC mastermind Poppy and her beatboxing border terrier Snoop are the new kids in town – and they’re ready to make their reputation known.

Magda (15) is an excellent skier. She joins the Polish Resistance and helps by bringing documents and fugitives across the mountains into Slovakia. One day she learns that the group of 23 pilots urgently need to cross the border, as Gestapo is on their heels.

One evening, Gloria approaches the portapotty with questions about death. The portapotty welcomes her inside and Gloria enters. She experiences a dream-state exaltation. As she comes back to reality, Gloria moves out of her despondency, until she sees the portapotty taken off site.

In Bhutan, 93.6 per cent of the population is happy, if you ask the country’s government. But how do you measure happiness? In the Buddhist kingdom, they send officials out to knock on doors with a questionnaire. How much rice do you have in stock? Do you have many friends? And how is your sleep rhythm? Each question is answered on a scale of 1 to 10. ‘Agent of Happiness’ invites us on a road trip through Bhutan’s remote mountain villages with two friendly officials in Gho robes, travelling to interview a diverse cross-section of the country’s citizens. They meet a trans woman and an aging man with three wives and eleven children, who turns out to be somewhat happier than the rest of the family. But how are the two bureaucrats themselves?

Diaz (trailer) Amidst the traditional pomp and circumstance of Filipino elections, a quirky people’s movement rises to defend the nation against deepening threats to truth and democracy. In a collective act of joy as a form of resistance, hope flickers against the backdrop of increasing autocracy. With the end of Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency and his attacks on democratic institutions like a free independent press, some Filipinos hoped for a new beginning. In contrast, others yearned for even more autocracy and a return to an era before the People Power Revolution and the restoration of democracy just a generation before. In this companion piece to A Thousand Cuts, which helped introduce the world to online news site Rappler and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa, director Ramona Diaz returns to Sundance with a film that takes you inside the fight for democracy in the modern media age. As elections threaten to be simulacrums of democratic processes, And So It Begins chronicles what the defenders of democracy in the Philippines have experienced and is a haunting depiction of what is at stake in elections around the world https://www.youtube.com/embed/RGhRikV_PBQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22507/chris-smith 2024-11-23T21:06:32.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/lg4r0bizlDEVO-STILL1.jpg Devo (Devo) - film by Chris Smith (trailer) Born in response to the Kent State massacre, new wave band Devo took their concept of “de-evolution” from cult following to near–rock star status with groundbreaking 1980 hit “Whip It” while preaching an urgent social commentary. Leave it to acclaimed filmmaker Chris Smith (American Movie) to perfectly capture the gloriously radical spirit that is Devo. This high-energy documentary embraces the spectacle of the band reveling in lofi archival footage, swift montage, and a charging rhythm that leaves you mesmerized by their wild rise. Band members are open with both their memories and archives — finally sharing their full story. They are a rare band founded by a philosophy; a Dada experiment of high art meets low, hellbent on infiltrating American popular culture, and DEVO relishes every freakish moment of their story. Not to mention all the incredible performances. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7uluRxTJpts?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22509/freaky-tales-ryan-fleck 2024-02-13T12:24:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22511/ghostlight-kelly-oasullivan 2024-02-13T12:40:17.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22513/girls-state-amanda-mcbaine 2024-02-13T12:40:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22515/look-into-my-eyes-lana-wilson 2024-02-04T12:34:56.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22517/power-yance-ford 2024-04-07T05:06:19.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22519/presence-steven-soderbergh 2025-01-06T13:31:17.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/tlks96grrPresence-Still1_(1).jpg Presence - film by Steven Soderbergh (trailer) A family moves into a suburban house and becomes convinced they’re not alone. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9xkVxO-YibU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22521/rob-peace-chiwetel-ejiofor 2024-02-04T12:42:38.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22523/sasquatch-sunset-david-zellner 2024-06-07T08:37:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/swp7opiptSasquatch_Sunset_-film_still_1-SASQUATCH_SUNSET-Courtesy_Square_Peg_cropped.jpg Sasquatch Sunset - film by David Zellner, Nathan Zellner (trailer) In the misty forests of North America, a family of Sasquatches—possibly the last of their enigmatic kind— embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious, and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year.

It features a soundscape and movement informed by a dataset from Black communities, theorists, poets, and activists, including bell hooks, Paulo Freire, Dazié Grego-Sykes, and Cornel West. Being (the Digital Griot) is a machine learning model run by a counterhegemonic algorithm that multidisciplinary artist Rashaad Newsome has been developing since 2019. Being (the Digital Griot) takes the humanoid form of a 30-foot tall, femme vogue Afro-futurist cyborg, who writes and reads poetry, and leads critical pedagogy workshops that teach people to decolonize their minds. Colonial values of extraction and exploitation live ubiquitously inside the hearts and minds of colonial subjects, and are the root of our unconscious compulsion to dehumanize and extract value from each other, and from our planet. Being offers generous ways of forging relationships — with others and with ourselves. Newsome reminds us that AI is powered by the richness of our collective human archive, and is a reflection of the values of the designer. https://player.vimeo.com/video/795784839?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22582/larry-takeshi-murata-christopher-rutledge 2024-09-13T06:16:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/hro3k5t5qLarry-Still1.jpg Larry - short film by Takeshi Murata, Christopher Rutledge (trailer) Takeshi Murata and Christopher Rutledge continue their playful investigation of both the sharp-edged hyperrealism of commercial CGI and its oozing, anarchic breakdown in Larry, which propels its titular character—a droopy-eyed canine baller—through a series of increasingly bizarre and messy loops. Set to a soundtrack of maxed-out electronic rhythms, these vignettes form a ludic study in morphology and motion, as its pooch protagonist continually vaults, multiplies, gets buckets, and dissolves into digital goo. https://player.vimeo.com/video/547562094?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22584/baigal-nuur-lake-baikal-alisi-telengut 2024-02-04T13:38:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22586/miisufy-liisi-gruenberg 2024-02-04T13:39:41.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22589/war-game-jesse-moss-tony-gerber 2024-11-30T13:21:47.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/db8d80ij3WAR_GAME_STILL_1.jpg War Game - film by Jesse Moss, Tony Gerber (trailer) A bipartisan group of U.S. defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations participate in an unscripted role-play exercise in which they confront a political coup backed by rogue members of the U.S. military, in the wake of a contested presidential election. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JXxktye-olU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22590/to-be-invisible-myah-overstreet 2024-02-13T12:57:01.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22592/winding-path-alexandra-lazarowich 2024-02-13T12:59:05.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22595/14-paintings-dongnan-chen 2024-02-13T12:59:35.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22597/bobs-funeral-jack-dunphy 2026-03-16T07:23:05.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/uldtwg7tgBob_s_Funeral-Still1.jpg Bob's Funeral - short film by Jack Dunphy Searching for the root of generational trauma, the director takes a camera into his estranged grandfather’s funeral. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1170179436?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 1140 https://vurchel.com/v/22602/ama-gloria-marie-amachoukeli 2024-02-04T13:45:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/ou6mynjhdama_Gloria-Still3.jpg àma Gloria - film by Marie Amachoukeli (trailer) Six-year-old Cléo loves her nanny, Gloria, more than anything.

Every January 6th from the dark of the Nunatsiavut night, the Nalujuit appear on the sea ice. They walk on two legs, yet their faces are animalistic, skeletal, and otherworldly. Snow crunches underfoot as they approach their destination: the Inuit community of Nain. Despite the frights, Nalujuk Night is a beloved annual event, showing that sometimes it can be fun to be scared. Rarely witnessed outside of Nunatsiavut, this annual event is an exciting chance for Inuit, young and old, to prove their courage and come together as a community to celebrate culture and tradition. Inuk filmmaker Jennie Williams brings audiences directly into the action in this bone-chilling black and white short documentary about a winter night like no other. https://www.youtube.com/embed/i1R848JeQVk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22742/wild-magnolias-alexandra-kern 2024-02-04T14:36:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1x6-W10_-9d2623f7f9a2c21773871581be55b010@1280x.jpeg Wild Magnolias - short film by Alexandra Kern Barber Bo Dollis teaches his proteges, Corey, Alvon, and JaCorey, the virtues of being a Mardi Gras Indian, a centuries-old subculture in New Orleans that shapes the minds of the youth community through mentorship, artistic expression, and cultural practice. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xEpUz_fDQng?autoplay=0 960 https://vurchel.com/v/22745/push-to-enter-anthony-nicolau 2024-05-27T21:48:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Push-to-Enter-1.jpg Push To Enter - short film by Anthony Nicolau Amidst mounting pressures, a food deliverer (Laith Nakli) has his morality tested when he finds a pair of keys left on the outside of a customer's door, culminating in a night of fear and self-discovery. https://player.vimeo.com/video/900874220?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 660 https://vurchel.com/v/22747/birdsong-omi-zola-gupta-sparsh-ahuja 2024-02-04T14:36:34.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Birdsong-Size-1.jpg Birdsong - short film by Omi Zola Gupta, Sparsh Ahuja Birdsong is an intimate portrait of the dying whistled language of the Hmong people in northern Laos. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_KIYwCieaMs?autoplay=0 1080 https://vurchel.com/v/22753/festival-of-slaps-abdou-cisse 2024-05-27T21:36:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/FOS2-1.jpg Festival of Slaps - short film by Abdou Cisse A Nigerian mother's slap triggers a humorous reflection on cultural stereotypes. https://player.vimeo.com/video/882020077?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 720 https://vurchel.com/v/22759/a-folded-ocean-benjamin-brewer 2024-02-04T14:39:56.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/A-folded-Ocean-Short-Film-02.jpg A Folded Ocean (A Folded Ocean) - short film by Benjamin Brewer A couple get lost in each other. https://player.vimeo.com/video/889109905?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 780 https://vurchel.com/v/22762/simo-uuu-aziz-zoromba 2024-02-04T14:45:12.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Simo_1.jpg Simo (سيمو) - short film by Aziz Zoromba Simo and Emad's brotherhood is filled with competition and jealousy.

In his striking directorial debut, Sean Wang takes us on a kinetic ride through the ups and downs of adolescence, mining personal experience to share a joyful, funny, and deeply affecting ode to first-generation teenagers navigating the beauty and pain of cultural heritage in a sea of conformity. Wang confidently steers us through the freewheeling early days of social media, where AIM emoticons and MySpace rankings carry the weight of heartbreak and friendships forged and broken. Both a moving love letter to immigrant parents and a playful examination of our uncertain paths to adulthood, Dìdi (弟弟) reminds us that growing up and growing into better versions of ourselves are often one and the same. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e6gve8GtSuU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/22771/the-mother-of-all-lies-asmae-el-moudir 2024-01-29T08:52:54.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/22773/bend-georgia-goggin 2024-02-04T14:47:51.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Bend,Georgia+Goggin.jpg Bend - short film by Georgia Goggin Maggie's daughter has been sexually harassed by a classmate.

Giving into her charm and status, Mira finds herself playing hostess to the mysterious and talented singer as Lore’s self-serving behaviors make her increasingly more uncomfortable in her own home. Mira’s desire for recognition from this elevated musician leaves her blinded to Lore’s hidden intentions until her apartment begins changing around her and her anxieties start to spiral out of her control. Her inability to confront and remove the ever-dangerous Lore proves to have monstrous consequences once Lore shows her true sinister nature; that she is not the musical ally that she initially presents to Mira but a water demon who needs to scavenge and carve out a place for herself by taking advantage of others. After Mira tries to escape, Lore cruelly adheres her to her beloved accordion, encasing her arms to the instrument’s keys and sewing her lungs into to the accordion bellows.

Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilisations, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed anew. Through Kossakovsky’s inquisitive lens, the grandeur and folly of humanity and its precarious relationship with nature posits the urgent question: How do we build, and how can we build better, before it’s too late? https://www.youtube.com/embed/q9neqiUfSEE?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23060/towards-the-sun-far-from-the-center-al-sol-lejos-del-centro-luciana-merino-pascal-viveros 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23064/arcadia-yorgos-zois 2024-12-19T19:52:56.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Arcadia.webp Arcadia - film by Yorgos Zois (trailer) Arcadia follows radiant neurologist Katerina and Yannis, a former well-respected doctor, who are heading off to a deserted seaside resort. Silence spreads in the car as they travel across sandy dunes in a windy autumn, matching the less-than-pleasant occasion: Yannis had been called to identify the victim of a tragic accident at the hospital of the small town. When the local policeman informs them that the victim's vehicle had plunged over the parapet of a stone bridge and leads them to the morgue, Katerina sees her worst suspicions confirmed. Together with Yannis, but also on her own nightly excursions to a mysterious, rustic beach bar called Arcadia, they begin to put the pieces of the puzzle together, revealing a haunting story of love, loss, acceptance and letting go. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hiwCkFgDb9Y?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23066/sour-candy-saure-bonbons-nishi-dugar 2024-02-13T13:06:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23068/art-education-maria-lassnig 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23070/august-my-heaven-riho-kudo 2024-02-13T13:10:09.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23072/andrea-gets-a-divorce-andrea-laesst-sich-scheiden-josef-hader 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23074/lick-a-wound-les-animaux-vont-mieux-nathan-ghali 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23076/papillon-florence-miailhe 2026-08-22T15:03:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202413056_1_RWD_1380.jpg Butterfly (Papillon) - short film by Florence Miailhe (trailer) A man swims in the sea.

They belong to the same network as the “Adamant”, the floating day clinic on the river Seine at the heart of Nicolas Philibert’s film Sur l’Adamant, winner of the Golden Bear at the 2023 Berlinale. In Averroès & Rosa Parks, Philibert continues his exploration of this topic. From individual interviews to meetings between patients and carers, the filmmaker focuses on showing a form of psychiatry that continually strives to make room for and rehabilitate the patients’ words. Little by little, each one eases open the door to their world. But within an increasingly worn-out health system, how can the forsaken be given a place in society among the rest? https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ipl-0GNZWhc?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23087/baldiga-a-unlocked-heart-baldiga-a-entsichertes-herz-markus-stein 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23090/baroque-statues-maria-lassnig 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23095/barrunto-emilia-beatriz 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23098/battle-in-heaven-batalla-en-el-cielo-carlos-reygadas 2024-02-14T17:52:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403060_1_ORG.jpg Battle in Heaven (Batalla en el cielo) - film by Carlos Reygadas (trailer) A provocative and visually stunning appraisal of Mexican society’s social divide.

Money has gone missing from the till and all the workers are being questioned. Most of them are illegal immigrants and they struggle to defend their job, their only rightful place in the world, as they prepare an endless array of dishes, trying to keep up with the constant stream of orders coming in from the dining room. One of the cooks is Pedro, a young Mexican who is seeking more from life than this job has to offer. He is a dreamer and a troublemaker, and he is in love with Julia, an American waitress who cannot commit to a relationship with an undocumented alien. Rashid, The Grill’s owner, has promised to help Pedro with his papers. But when Pedro is accused of stealing the money, and then discovers that Julia has had an abortion, he sees red and spirals towards an act that will halt the production line at the kitchen once and for all. Based on the acclaimed stage play by Arnold Wesker, La Cocina is a tragic and comic tribute to the invisible people who prepare our food. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qc27iNq_2M8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23276/crossing-passage-levan-akin 2024-05-07T05:23:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202415217_1_RWD_1920.jpg Crossing (Passage) - film by Levan Akin (trailer) Lia, a retired teacher, has made a promise to find out what happened to her long-lost niece, Tekla. When Lia learns from a neighbour, Achi, that Tekla might have left their Georgian homeland and be living in Turkey, Lia and Achi set off together to find her. Arriving in Istanbul, they discover a beautiful city full of connections and possibilities. But searching for someone who never intended to be found is harder than they expected – until they meet Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights. As Lia and Achi weave their way through the city’s backstreets, Tekla starts to feel closer than ever. Levan Akin’s fourth feature film is filled with an impressive emotional immediacy. Two initially hesitant strangers overcome not only ideological but also internal boundaries on their mission and join forces. The topography of the city plays just as important a role in this ode to humanity as the array of characters that live within it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/URHHgA8C5B8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23288/dahomey-le-retour-mati-diop 2024-12-01T13:15:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/ABOMEY_090353-LES-FILMS-DU-BAL-FANTA-SY-1.webp Dahomey (Le retour) - film by Mati Diop (trailer) November 2021. 26 royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin.

Like so many of the small-time actors in their neighbourhood, Faye dreams of a glorious Hollywood career. Although she also dreams of a rich husband, she actually tends to get involved with losers and, in the end, prostitutes herself. The only place she finds refuge is with Homer Simpson, a simple bookkeeper… In the novel, Nathanael West portrays Hollywood as a Sodom of mendacity and superficiality. The film version made by Britain’s John Schlesinger also takes the tack of unmasking the dream factory that devours people, but it tempers the apocalyptic moral portrait with glamorous production design in line with the trend to nostalgia in the 1970s. The restoration impressively brings to the fore the tremendous production values of The Day of the Locust. With costumes and sets that establish the historical scene, the introspective studio production belongs among the most visually resplendent films to come from New Hollywood. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KwnjIZIVW-U?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23304/cuxball-dave-paige-65ce30d75dcb8 2024-05-27T21:45:47.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/ball_01.jpg Cuxball - short film by Dave Paige Sam finds something in the dirt.

Kai arrives on holiday from Taiwan with a broken heart. A malfunctioning air conditioner leads her to end up in Fu Ang’s umbrella shop. He could become a friend, but then the rainy season fails to arrive and the shop closes. While searching for Fu Ang, Kai comes across Xiao Xin and a group of Chinese workers in a fancy high-rise building. Kai finds herself strangely mirrored in Xiao Xin’s story. This quiet comedy of misunderstandings does not follow a traditional dramaturgy. The protagonists, performed by an ensemble of first-time actors and professionals, come and go unexpectedly. From one unknown city to the next, they follow the demands of their work. But over the course of a hot, slow summer, delicate bonds grow between them like islands in a sea full of sharks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QbIzeZ9Plhk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23430/two-among-millions-zwei-unter-millionen-victor-vicas 2024-05-27T21:38:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414615_0_RWD_1920.jpg_1_.jpg Two Among Millions (Zwei unter Millionen) - film by Victor Vicas, Wieland Liebske Berlin, just before the Berlin Wall is built.

For this project, eleven short documentaries have been commissioned about eleven very different youth football teams. The films have been made by students at the Munich University of Television and Film in collaboration with the teams themselves and Benedetta Films as the producers. Teams from the following clubs are involved: FC Internationale Berlin 1980 (directed by Eva Gemmer), FC Español München (directed by Hannah Jandl), FC Ingolstadt 04 (directed by Kilian Armando Friedrich), Athletic Sonnenberg (directed by Sophie Mühe), FFC Wacker München 99 (directed by Anna-Maria Dutoit), SG Crostwitz 1981 (directed by Justina Jürgensen), ISC AlHilal Bonn (directed by Hilarija Ločmele), TSV Maccabi München (directed by Daniela Magnani Hülser), Türkiyemspor Berlin 1978 (directed by Marie Zrenner), K.S.

The airport is socked in by fog and no planes can take off or land. A dozen or more passengers are stranded and have to spend the night in the airport. Loosely connected episodes make up a diverse whole of encounters and conversations – for instance, between a penniless starlet and two shady gentlemen, a farmer from Africa, and an airport employee looking to get married. Also among the denizens of this involuntary soirée are a wife with an Italian lover, a crooked businessman and a Polish jazz band… Will Tremper has created a soap opera with documentary underpinnings. Shot without a finished script over 45 nights, after closing time in Tempelhof’s central hall, with original sound, The Endless Night gels into a realistic portrait of society. It is peopled with believable characters whose often-improvised dialogue seems perfectly in sync with the time. And the director might have been drawing a self-portrait with the character of the businessman in search of money – to make the film without subsidies, Tremper took out a mortgage on his own home. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wk3Gw8jhV4w?autoplay=0 5100 https://vurchel.com/v/23555/here-we-are-chanasorn-chaikitiporn 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403184_3_ORG.jpg Here We Are (นี่ไง) - short film by Chanasorn Chaikitiporn (trailer) A housekeeper receives a film made by her daughter.

There are almond trees and animals here; the wine matures in barrels. Three sisters are its legal heirs: one of them, Carmen, cultivates the land to this day; now, Elsa and Maura have also returned, the latter no longer well and dependent on Elsa’s care. There is no breadwinner in sight, the island is run by a matriarchy, albeit an involuntary one; most of the men have emigrated. The sisters deal with the paradoxical nature of their inheritance, at once a task, a burden and the promise of a secure existence in the world. In her poetic feature-length debut, Macu Machín shifts delicately between documentary observation and staging. Whether by way of acting, reconstruction or simply being in front of the camera – the three women’s strategies for life are narrated by the body. The Undergrowth is a film of few words – places and people are revealed through images and allegories. The titular “dead leaves” allude to the passing of time and the finite. As pots bubble and fires crackle, the volcano makes its presence felt, spewing out lava in a manner at once ceremonial and apocalyptic. The everyday – beautiful and unruly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ibsJ-IJEN4A?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23610/angels-of-iron-engel-aus-eisen-thomas-brasch 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23630/cura-sana-lucia-g-romero 2026-02-19T15:24:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23671/your-brothers-deine-brueder-helene-hegemann 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23672/invincible-summer-un-invincible-ete-arnaud-dufeys 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202412892_1_ORG.jpg Invincible Summer (Un invincible été) - short film by Arnaud Dufeys (trailer) A hot summer evening.

But as his mental health deteriorates, he discovers a new connection with his once estranged son. Can Demba recover from his loss without losing himself? The film takes the life of a middle-aged man to explore the tension between grief and healing, belonging and estrangement, mental health and psychiatric disorder. Its inspiration stems from a genuine question: How can a society that does not have a word for “depression” come to terms with it? https://player.vimeo.com/video/277172235?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23731/the-departed-departed-a-unter-feinden-martin-scorsese 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202415445_1_RWD_1920_(1).jpg The Departed - film by Martin Scorsese (trailer) Irish mob boss Frank Costello has a firm grip on South Boston. One of his loyal followers since his teenage years is Colin Sullivan who, with Costello’s help, graduates from the police academy. As a member of the Massachusetts State Police, Colin climbs the career ladder and is soon part of the Special Investigation Unit – he is a mole in Costello’s service that no one but the two men knows about. Around the same time, police trainee Billy Costigan is given a sensitive assignment by the head of the undercover unit and his right-hand man. Billy’s uncle was a member of the Irish mafia, and this family background makes Billy seem well suited to infiltrate Costello’s organisation. To this end, he is first sent to prison after being dishonourably discharged from the force. Only the two cops know Billy’s true identity. When both the gangsters and the police realise that they have been infiltrated, a desperate race begins for Billy and Colin. Each wants to expose the other while remaining undetected. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iojhqm0JTW4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23757/the-fable-raam-reddy 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202409890_1_RWD_1920.jpg The Fable - film by Raam Reddy (trailer) Spring 1989. High up in the Indian Himalayas, where even the birds fly low to avoid getting lost in the clouds, the soft-spoken Dev owns a sprawling estate of several orchards and lives in a colonial-style house with his family. He spends a lot of his time building human-sized wings which he puts on to take a quick morning flight over his land. One day, while walking through the estate, he discovers a single burnt apple tree. A few days later, more trees are burnt. Dev and his manager monitor the workers on the plantations and this leads to unrest. A group of nomads comes under suspicion and a corrupt police officer gets involved, while loyal men camp out in the orchards to keep a vigilant watch at night. Despite all these measures, a massive fire breaks out a week later and engulfs an entire mountainside of trees. In his search for the culprit, Dev resorts to armed violence. The slow burning of the orchards forces him to face the truth about himself and his family. https://www.youtube.com/embed/r4TuwOFF2Hg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23759/metro-ferran-acoratia-calle 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23761/mysore-magic-abijeet-achar 2024-05-27T21:45:00.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/MYSORE-MAGIC-2.png Mysore Magic - short film by Abijeet Achar During a 1982 university disco competition in Mysore, India, a young man from a high-caste family and a young woman from a small island in Africa embark on an unlikely romantic adventure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cdSf7Lg7L40?autoplay=0 840 https://vurchel.com/v/23767/alan-the-infinite-mikey-please 2024-05-27T21:44:38.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Alan-the-Infinite-01.jpg Alan, the Infinite - short film by Mikey Please, Daniel Ojari Will he prove himself and win the much coveted Summer Placement - the first stop aboard the Train of of Life, on the way to becoming a Real Adult?

Using a collaborative and immersive observational approach, the film documents the everyday lives of a diverse ecosystem of activists, squatters, anarchists, farmers and those labelled by the government as “eco-terrorists”.

We wanted to find out who they are and become familiar with their skills and strategies, their joys, fears and hardships,” says director Ruth Beckermann. More than 60 percent of all children in Viennese primary schools do not speak German as their first language. At the same time, there is an acute shortage of teachers and supervisors. Such adverse conditions are the starting point of Ruth Beckermann’s documentary Favoriten, for which the Austrian filmmaker of The Waldheim Waltz and Mutzenbacher followed a Viennese primary school class for three years. The result is an astonishingly cheerful portrait of an unusual community. A film about teaching and learning and the often very surprising experiences somewhere in between. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2vgXSM3bdSw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23821/i-saw-three-black-lights-yo-vi-tres-luces-negras-santiago-lozano-alvarez 2024-05-27T21:44:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202401265_1_RWD01.jpg I Saw Three Black Lights (Yo vi tres luces negras) - film by Santiago Lozano Álvarez (trailer) Seventy-year-old José de los Santos lives in a village on Colombia’s Pacific coast.

Becoming aware of each other's situation, Takatoshi Yamazoe and Misa Fujisawa begin to share a bond and try to help each other. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5YFgamWOrrg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23871/godzilla-gojira-ishir-honda 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/image-asset_3.jpeg Godzilla (Gojira) - film by Ishirō Honda (trailer) Atomic bomb testing off the coast of Japan has roused a prehistoric sea monster that lays ruin to Tokyo. While an older professor wants to study the creature to find out how it survived the radioactive fallout, a younger scientist has secretly developed an oxygen destroyer that could be used as a weapon to dispatch Godzilla to the hereafter… After a Japanese fishing boat fell victim to fallout from American atomic bomb tests in 1954, Ishirō Honda created a cinematic memorial to the 1945 nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; a film in which the nation’s trauma could be dealt with by having actors claim victory over the gigantic radioactive lizard. The new 4K restoration of one of the most successful films in Japanese cinema history pays tribute to more than just the film’s optical brilliance, not least in its rendering of the model miniature of Tokyo that was trampled underfoot in Toho Studio by an actor in a monster costume. The excellent sound design, with the frightening cries of the behemoth and its defenceless victims, as well as the stirring music by Akira Ifukube, also gets the attention it deserves. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GuV-Vb1PlSU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23878/the-cats-of-gokogu-shrine-gokogu-no-neko-kazuhiro-soda 2024-12-01T13:23:16.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23894/cu-li-never-cries-cu-li-khong-bao-gia-khoc-pham-ngac-lan 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23919/gloria-margherita-vicario 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23930/the-box-man-hako-otoko-gakuryu-ishii 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414511_4_RWD_1920.jpg The Box Man (Hako Otoko) - film by Gakuryu Ishii (trailer) A man with a cardboard box over his head wanders the streets of Tokyo. Peering at the world through a peephole, he incessantly writes down in a notebook what he can see. The photographer Myself spots the man and is fascinated. He decides to do the same thing and become a box man himself. But his path to get there is not easy; countless challenges and dangers lie in wait. They include a fake doctor who wants to rob him of his box-man identity; a military man who seeks to use him for the perfect crime; and a mysterious woman who does everything she can to seduce him. Can Myself achieve his dream of becoming a box man? Hako Otoko is an adaptation of the 1973 novel “The Box Man” by Kōbō Abe. https://www.youtube.com/embed/J5eLc1HbptA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23936/henry-fonda-for-president-alexander-horwath 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202401127_3_RWD_1920.jpg Henry Fonda for President (Henry Fonda for President) - film by Alexander Horwath (trailer) In 1980, two biographies cross paths in a Paris cinema: those of young cinema-goer Alexander Horwath and the actor Henry Fonda. Horwath recognised early on that the popular view of Fonda as a “typical American” and the “conscience of the USA” in his acting roles doesn’t paint the full picture. It is the more convoluted paths of Fonda’s biography and how he played roles and embodied attitudes extending beyond individual characters that truly interest Horwath. Thrillingly edited with Michael Palm, his essay film follows them across the history of film into an imaginary republic of places, times, characters: “The United States of Fonda”. Fonda becomes the link between an old and a new America, the thoughtful face of the alleged transition from the law of the jungle to civilisation as well as a critic of an American self-image that only serves itself. Paradoxically, it’s the magic of cinema invoked in the film that contributes to this (self-)disenchantment of America via its own specific techniques and the help of one of its greatest magicians. And in doing so creates a wonderfully complex cinematic memorial to both the USA and storyteller and actor Fonda – the president that never was. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiIV9Q7XIvk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/23950/the-german-chainsaw-massacre-das-deutsche-kettensaegenmassaker-christoph-schlingensief 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414596_3_RWD_1920.jpg The German Chainsaw Massacre (Das deutsche Kettensägenmassaker) - film by Christoph Schlingensief October 3, 1990. Berlin is celebrating reunification at the Brandenburg Gate. Far from the sententious political speeches about unity and freedom, East German Clara stabs her abusive husband, then flees to the West in their rickety Trabant car. But when she hooks up with her lover, Artur, at an abandoned factory complex, he is massacred by the family headed up by master butcher Alfred. While Clara manages in the end to escape the aggressive, incestuous tribe, an East German couple falls victim to their bloodthirsty frenzy… Just 23 days elapsed between East Germany’s merger with the Federal Republic and the premiere of this satirical splatter film, inspired by Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) and Tobe Hooper’s horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). For the governmental incorporation of the former East German states, Christoph Schlingensief devised genre images that were as provocative as they were iconically pop culture, insofar as The German Chainsaw Massacre’s bloodthirsty scenes celebrate the literal physical assimilation of the eastern “brothers and sisters”: “They came as friends and left as sausage”. https://player.vimeo.com/video/392252748?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 3780 https://vurchel.com/v/23982/the-germans-and-their-men-die-deutschen-und-ihre-maenner-a-bericht-aus-bonn-helke-sander 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23984/heart-jump-herzsprung-helke-misselwitz 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/23990/me-ich-bettina-flitner 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24004/-65d4e4273f03a 2024-05-29T10:27:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403155_2_RWD_1920.jpg I’m Not Everything I Want to Be (Ještě nejsem, kým chci být) - film by Klára Tasovská (trailer) Libuše Jarcovjáková documents her life with analogue photos and diary entries. Her Czechoslovakian homeland is in the repressive phase of “normalisation” after the suppression of the Prague Spring in 1968. The young photographer searches for islands of freedom in Prague as well as her sexual identity; her camera is her constant companion. One of these islands is the T-Club, a meeting place for the queer scene. When a murder is committed and the police become interested in Libuše’s photos from the club, her personal journey of emancipation is abruptly cut short. She enters into a marriage of convenience and moves to West Berlin. But this new world is also filled with obstacles. Using the last of her money, she flies to Tokyo and, for a short time, becomes a sought-after fashion photographer there. Continuing to search for the life she wants to live, Libuše’s path leads her back to Prague via Berlin after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Using only photographs and the diary entries she reads out herself, the artist – together with the filmmaker – intimately relates her search for identity, everyday struggles, physicality, relationships and emotions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gjLD6m1i64I?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24019/macumba-elfi-mikesch 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24021/banal-days-banale-tage-peter-welz 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414585_2_ORG.jpg Banal Days (Banale Tage) - film by Peter Welz (trailer) East Berlin, 1978. Thomas is an apprentice toolmaker, Michael is a high school student. Thomas’ father is a labourer, while Michael’s is a dramatic consultant at the Volksbühne theatre. The two teenagers are at odds with their fathers and authorities like the foreman and the school principal. They rebel against the paternalistic system that gives young people no room to develop, and demands conformity. When Michael’s father pronounces a play to be “subversive” and it actually turns out to denounce youth culture, Thomas protests openly. That brings the East German secret police, the Stasi, into play… The film, by the DEFA’s young directors group “DaDaEr”, marked a radical break with the formal and aesthetic DEFA norms. This feature debut by 27-year-old Peter Welz, who had made shorts from scripts by Frank Castorf and Leander Haussmann, tried a new kind of cinematic language – experimental, ironic, burlesque. It is a swansong for East Germany that is as acerbic as it is acrimonious, full of allusions to the absurdity of daily life and the corruption of culture. But contemporary audiences in both East and West weren’t ready for it – despite it receiving a Max Ophüls Prize in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Bh31YDDzSo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24023/detours-while-speaking-of-monsters-deniz-simsek 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24040/maryam-moghaddam-behtash-sanaeeha 2025-01-06T11:49:26.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202405386_1_RWD_1920.jpg My Favourite Cake (Keyke mahboobe man / فیلم سینمایی کیک محبوب من) - film by Maryam Moghaddam, Beht… The 70-year-old Mahin has been living alone in Tehran since her husband died and her daughter left for Europe.

After being caught in acts of vandalism, they get to know each other while having to complete a social-educational measure in the same public library. Bel, who is about to turn 18, is deaf and faces the challenges of communication by sign language. She skateboards and draws, which catches the attention of Juliano. He is passionate about rap music and records his everyday life in audio. Juliano shares his anxieties, feelings and uncertainties about his purpose in life with Bel. Through their shared experiences of repression at the hands of the state authorities, they slowly draw closer to one another and, together, find ways to resist the toughness of their lives and the ignorance and neglect of the system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kulQIjkxFek?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24074/hands-in-the-fire-maeos-no-fogo-margarida-gil 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406898_4_RWD_1920.jpg Hands in the Fire (Mãos no fogo) - film by Margarida Gil (trailer) The young film student Maria do Mar is working on a documentary about the old manor houses along the Douro River. It is the final project in her thesis on “Reality in Cinema”. Maria has an unlimited confidence in what is visible. Her candour and her naivety allow her to see the bright side of life – such as the beauty of the landscape and the authenticity of the place, or what’s left of it. But when Maria enters the final manor house on her list, she soon realises that something is going on in this house that is not as innocent as it first seemed. The manor is truly a house of horrors. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_oqXWE2uTw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24081/michael-brynntrup 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414604_1_RWD_1920.jpg Jesus – The Film (Jesus – Der Film) - film by Michael Brynntrup (trailer) From the annunciation to the ascension, this black-and-white biopic takes a strictly chronological approach to the “greatest story ever told”. Yet in the best silent-film tradition, it distorts reality with effusive and expressionist devices. Even in the womb, the baby Jesus is already a beanpole; the holy family is rife with internal strife; Satan is a debaucher who uses sex, drugs and rock-and-roll as temptations, and Maria Magdalena is a crusty hussy… Premiering in the Berlinale’s Forum section in 1986, this cinematic burlesque was the first in the long line of biblical movies around the world to be filmed in Super 8. The “monumental film about the life and suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ” compiles 35 episodes from the New Testament in retellings or entirely new interpretations by 22 filmmakers, whether individuals or collectives, from East and West. The uniting element is the title character, embodied by the film’s initiator and coordinator, director Michael Brynntrup, who moved from Catholic Münster to West Berlin in 1982. Like most of the people involved in the film, he was a member of the active subculture in then West Berlin’s queer, punk and avant-garde scene. https://player.vimeo.com/video/115472022?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24087/iris-maria-lassnig 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24118/ivo-eva-trobisch 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24139/the-human-hibernation-anna-cornudella-castro 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202407093_1_RWD_1380.jpg The Human Hibernation - film by Anna Cornudella Castro (trailer) A woman wakes from hibernation while her brother sleeps on.

Originally created as didactic and propagandistic tools in communist Poland, the footage is repurposed as a site of auto-fictional memory, its scientific register shifted toward a treatment of the images themselves as specimens. The classic Slavic witch figure, Baba Yaga, is reimagined as a prehistoric goddess from the time of matriarchy. This transformation provokes layered reflections on kinship and identity as the child navigates binary gender roles. The women of the family find a home in the archive, engaging in a process of self and world-making that transforms the often sexist and anthropocentric images into tools of freedom and resistance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kwK_L4jl6NY?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24178/intercepted-oksana-karpovych 2024-06-13T09:33:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202407591_2_RWD_1920.jpg Intercepted (Мирні люди) - film by Oksana Karpovych (trailer) What drives the people who come to your country to wage war? Intercepted is an attempt to find an answer by showing two parallel worlds. The camera registers images of destruction in unhurried shots, in which we see Ukrainian villages, towns, houses and motorways after their liberation from the Russian occupation. We look closely – not into the abyss of destruction and death, but rather at landscapes being filled again with life. This gives hope and serves to balance out the media’s normalization of horror. They are frames set against the flood of images. Throughout the film, the soundtrack forms a shocking counterpoint. We listen to the recordings of telephone conversations intercepted in 2022 by the Ukrainian Secret Service between Russian soldiers in trenches in Ukraine and their families. It’s hard to decide which element is more devastating: the soldiers’ confessions of the rape, looting and brutal torture of Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war or the (mainly) female voices from “back home” that bear witness to chauvinism and hatred, disinformation and schizophrenic propaganda. Sound and image stare each other in the face, stunned, brought together in a cinematic space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/J5p42Niu5ik?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24196/in-the-belly-of-a-tiger-siddartha-jatla 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202408962_2_RWD_1920.jpg In the Belly of a Tiger (In the Belly of a Tiger) - film by Siddartha Jatla (trailer) A tiger is wreaking havoc in an Indian village. Deaths are becoming more frequent, but tigers are protected. As the farmers are not allowed to hunt them, they demand compensation from the government and receive it. The tiger’s life is now worth more than theirs. An elderly couple, Bhagole and Prabhata, newly returned to the village with their son and two granddaughters, now only own their house and the bull, after having sold their land to try their luck in the city. All they now have to offer is their labour, which makes them prone to blackmail, like everyone else in the village. The film clearly highlights the vicious cycle of exploitation at the local brick factory, but also devotes time to the relationships between the family members, allowing them to develop their ideas of value and reciprocity until these come to a head one desperate night when they have to decide: Can the family escape their fate if one of them “invests” their life? Caught between real events and the magical lotus blossoms from the belly of Lord Vishnu, Siddartha Jatla’s In the Belly of a Tiger is a poignant critique of capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l6wIbBmISMo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24204/well-ordered-nature-ihre-ergebenste-fraeulein-eva-c-heldmann 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24227/andreas-dresen 2025-01-05T10:48:32.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202415117_1_RWD_1920.jpg From Hilde, With Love (In Liebe, Eure Hilde) - film by Andreas Dresen (trailer) Berlin, 1942.

She relies on the Korean alcoholic drink of makgeolli to provide a bit of comfort every day. https://www.youtube.com/embed/n5_VIHPrxpw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24416/foreign-language-langue-etrangere-fremdsprache-claire-burger 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24418/the-great-phuket-xiao-ban-jie-liu-yaonan 2024-05-27T21:34:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/The_Great_Phuket_1.jpg The Great Phuket (Xiao Ban Jie/小半截) - film by Liu Yaonan (trailer) Fourteen-year-old Li Xing lives in a southern Chinese city in Great Phuket, a district full of decay and reconstruction. He doesn’t get along well with his mother who refuses to leave the family home which is slated for demolition. He also encounters nothing but problems at school. One day, Li and his only friend, Song, discover a tunnel that leads to a strange hideout where stones have recorded sounds from the past. During a chase with security guards from an abandoned factory, Song is so badly injured that he has to go to hospital. Song’s mother forbids the two boys from seeing each other again. Filled with despair and guilt, and feeling lonelier than ever, Li returns to the tunnel. But stranger and stranger things are happening there. Gradually the tunnel transforms into a creature that traps Li inside his sad memories. Step by step, Li finds the way out to the outside world. But as a trace of his passage, Li’s poem about his homeland and the people around him remains, recorded by the mysterious shelter of stones. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UmUPwc1Ul4s?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24429/tales-of-a-city-l-homme-vertige-malaury-eloi-paisley 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24438/in-praise-of-slowness-hicham-gardaf 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414678_1_RWD_1380.jpg In Praise of Slowness - short film by Hicham Gardaf (trailer) Set in modern-day Tangier, In Praise of Slowness follows the laborious journey of a man collecting empty bottles, which he later sells to bleach vendors that roam the labyrinthic streets of the old city. In the face of the global economic and technological forces reshaping the city of Tangier, the profession of the bleach vendors seems to be on the verge of disappearing, yet this film portrait of their supply chain – and notably their insistent chanting – conveys acoustic and visual images of endurance. In Praise of Slowness speaks to the accelerated urbanization and industrialization of Tangier, but also attests to how locally situated choreographies of slowness articulate modes of resistance to the speed of capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bV3QfAhCudM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24443/myanmar-anatomy-prapat-jiwarangsan 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202413568_1_RWD_1200.jpg Myanmar Anatomy - short film by Prapat Jiwarangsan (trailer) This essayistic exploration of Myanmar’s history is presented in three chapters and rooted in three locations: Yangon Zoological Gardens, the Yangon Circle Railway, and the Drug Elimination Museum.

Georgian director Lana Gogoberidze asks this question at the start of the film, as photos appear: almost like a miniature film, she is seen as a child being embraced by her mother Nutsa. In Gogoberidze’s family of intellectuals and artists, filmmaking follows a matrilinear logic across three generations. Nutsa Gogoberidze was Georgia’s first woman director, before being separated from her family for ten years as a gulag prisoner, and entirely cut off from her censured oeuvre for the rest of her life. Together with her daughter Salome Alexi, Lana Gogoberidze sets out to bring together the pieces of Nutsa’s life. They find her lost works Buba (1930) and Uzhmuri (1934). Lana on the set of her previous films, surrounded by her film crew family: filmmaking as a collective practice of care and tenderness. Her film is at once autobiography, declaration of love and grieving process – Lana’s legacy, which also contains that of her mother, who inspired her to create strong, free women characters who defy dark times. The Gogoberidze dynasty countered the abyss with poetry, dance and cinema – lives divided, but shared. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zmheXO7I8_4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24532/exergue-on-documenta-14-dimitris-athiridis 2025-10-17T11:37:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406803_1_RWD_2400.jpg exergue - on documenta 14 - film by Dimitris Athiridis (trailer) Adam Szymczyk and curators prepare for documenta 14 over 2 years.

In October 2019, shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic, proposed fare increases for public transport led to protests in the capital, which spread like wildfire across most of the country and grew into a varied movement for constitutional and economic reform. Over a period of three years, extending to the failure of the Constitutional Convention in 2022 and the political backlash that followed, Tamara Uribe and Felipe Morgado capture the events and their topography in sequences presented without commentary, giving the activist forces a face without siding against any of the protagonists: whether Indigenous, feminist, militant, anarchist or conservative, they find a place for everyone in this formally daring portrait of the era, which functions at the same time as a snapshot. Anyone who joins this journey through a society in the process of awakening will be rewarded with insights into democratic processes, mass protests and their socio-political dynamics. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e5BN_oEtv-A?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24560/quebrante-janaina-wagner 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24587/marias-silence-daavis-siimanis 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406756_1_RWD_1380.jpg Maria’s Silence - film by Dāvis Sīmanis (trailer) The story of Maria Leiko - a famous actress who late in her career has to decide between fame and love for her grandchild, between her ideals or the lies of Stalin's totalitarian regime. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1m72zY3x5U4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24593/the-moon-also-rises-yuyan-wang 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202405426_1_RWD_1380.jpg The Moon Also Rises - short film by Yuyan Wang (trailer) Just before the launch of artificial moons, a retired couple finds their harbor in the fading darkness.

The trouble is: Meena is in love with someone else – what’s more, from a lower caste. The film opens when all is said and done, and the family’s will has left Meena cold. She has lapsed into a monumental silence. Her family can find just one logical explanation for this state of affairs: Meena must be possessed. Once exorcised, nothing can stand in the way of happiness. So the double family party rattles and creaks their way to see a vanquisher of demons. It is a dark tale that gradually unfolds on the side of the road. With all his senses and sharp wit, P.S. Vinothraj’s The Adamant Girl relentlessly retraces the steps of the families’ supposedly righteous violence towards Meena. Again and again, the film shows just how physical the natural order of things really is. Morality, superstition and misogyny are inextricably linked. Who owns whom here seems to have been a foregone conclusion since time immemorial. Only when Pandi realises that magic has no power over Meena, only over him, does the “natural order” fall apart. Folklore-free, hard-hitting and up close. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f_qQ4QYYFMw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24623/baldilocks-kaalkapje-marthe-peters 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202404955_1_RWD_1920.jpg Baldilocks (Kaalkapje) - short film by Marthe Peters (trailer) “Nowadays, the hospital welcomes me as a medical miracle.

How much can forbears and their descendants know about one another? And how much continuity is contained within progress? When Katharina Pethke became a professor at Hamburg’s University of Fine Arts, it set in motion a process of reflection and research. Before, she had studied there, and so too had her mother and grandmother. Each of the women believed they were breaking new ground and yet, consciously or unconsciously, through stance or in protest, continued to carry on a legacy. This essay film examines the three generations caught between social determination and artistic ambition, self-will and motherhood, production and reproduction. The university building and its sole sculpture by a woman artist purchased by urban planner Fritz Schumacher, “Frauenschicksal” (Women’s Fate), become a mirror as well as showcase for enduring ambivalences. A virtuosic and astute work from an established filmmaker, Reproduktion explores questions of feminine and artistic identity through the lens of Pethke’s personal experience, interweaving her family biography with the architectural history of the art and media campus. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WC2t1PHlp2k?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24636/we-will-not-be-the-last-of-our-kind 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24653/invisible-days-or-the-legend-of-the-white-crocodiles-unsichtbare-tage-oder-die-legende-von-den-weissen-krokodilen-eva-hiller 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24665/the-invisible-zoo-der-unsichtbare-zoo-romuald-karmakar 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screenshot_20240228_183754_Samsung_Internet.jpg The Invisible Zoo (Der unsichtbare Zoo) - film by Romuald Karmakar (trailer) On the grounds of Zurich Zoo, workers are transforming the brown earth into a savannah landscape, with concrete baobabs to serve as a feeding system and storage space. A “scenography of the wilderness” is being created here, as art historian Christina Katharina May terms this animal pen designed with an eye for detail, a combination of pared-down architecture and an almost natural appearance – a central component of the zoo’s efforts to make itself invisible. Across the seasons, Romuald Karmakar’s film gives an account of life and work at one of Europe’s leading zoological gardens. The effort that precedes the illusion of invisibility is shown, as is the logistical apparatus that keeps the whole enterprise running. The animals are also shown, which serve as an attraction. By revealing a complex network of economical and ethical questions that shape the zoo, precisely what usually remains invisible, this three-hour film expands what is shown into a reflection on the relationship between humans and animals: a mirroring and a “momentary imaginary relationship” (Sabine Nessel). The portrait of an institution – of modernity, of the present. https://player.vimeo.com/video/892785634?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24681/the-love-parade-liebesparade-ernst-lubitsch 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202409295_3_ORG.jpg The Love Parade (Liebesparade) - film by Ernst Lubitsch Count Alfred, military attaché at the Sylvanian Embassy in Paris, is recalled due to his countless love affairs. But back in his home country, instead of punishing him, bachelorette Queen Louise dissolves in his arms. They promptly marry. But as a subject of the realm, Prince Consort Alfred has no rights, either in the regency or in the marriage. When he is expected to grin and bear it for an evening at the opera, he rebels… In his first talkie, Ernst Lubitsch moved the action of “The Taming of the Shrew” into the upper echelon of nobility. While stars Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald fight the battle of the sexes with erotic finesse according to the rules of the Lubitsch touch, the parallel below stairs tussle between their servants (Lupino Lane and Lillian Roth) is more reminiscent of the coarse badinage in Lubitsch’s earlier farce Kohlhiesel’s Daughters. With its hyper-realistic singing interludes, The Love Parade had a lasting influence on the operetta genre. In 1929, Lubitsch said the audience needs to have the ability to transport themselves to a world in which people express their feelings for each other in song. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZvuV4P1xj7k?autoplay=0 6600 https://vurchel.com/v/24683/abiding-nowhere-wu-suo-zhu-tsai-ming-liang 2024-05-27T21:35:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24691/voices-of-the-silenced-park-soo-nam 2024-05-27T21:38:10.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/image-w1280_21.webp Voices of the Silenced (되살아나는 목소리) - film by Park Soo-nam, Park Maeui (trailer) Park Soo-nam was many things in her long life: a writer, single mother, BBQ restaurant owner, activist and above all a documentary film-maker. Now she’s well into her eighties and losing her eyesight. With great care, love and a shared sense of humour, her daughter Park Maeui takes on the transgenerational task of conveying her mother’s important legacy to our present times, in which fascism and militarism are on the rise worldwide. This film, made with and about her mother, opens up a rich, decolonial archive: born in Japan as the descendant of Korean immigrants from the colonial period, Park Soo-nam made it her life’s work to document her community’s experiences of violence that had been repressed by Japanese society. She interviewed countless contemporary witnesses: survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of massacres, forced labour, forced mobilisation and comfort women (sex slaves). This collaborative film, and her mother’s film material in it, document an alternative history and preserve that community’s memories. Alongside the words of those who suffered injury to life and limb, their work together focuses on the expressive power of the body. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_cdYf_f9QQ4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24700/last-swim-sasha-nathwani 2024-05-27T21:32:24.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24706/goodbye-first-love-jing-guo-shuli-huang 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24718/retrospective-kismet-kismet-ismet-elci 2024-08-13T15:45:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24724/kohlhiesels-daughters-kohlhiesels-toechter-ernst-lubitsch 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24732/matt-and-mara-kazik-radwanski 2024-09-11T08:59:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202404698_4_RWD_1920.jpg Matt and Mara - film by Kazik Radwanski (trailer) Mara, a young creative writing professor, is struggling with problems in her marriage to an experimental musician.

And she is determined not to let the conservative mindset of her family, her experience of physical abuse nor the anti-immigrant hostility of those around her stop her. Working day and night, she finances her boxing classes without her parents’ knowledge. Through this sport, she hopes not only to succeed in the ring but also to overcome the difficulties of life. Maydegol depicts the perseverance of Generation Z who are seeking to escape their seemingly bleak destinies and assert their rights, with young women in particular looking for freedom – even at the risk of losing their lives. A film that also serves as a mirror for the audience in which they can recognise their own strength. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VlbVxmod6hk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24831/the-empty-grave-das-leere-grab-agnes-lisa-wegner-cece-mlay 2024-05-27T21:34:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/The_Empty_Grave01.jpg The Empty Grave (Das leere Grab) - film by Agnes Lisa Wegner, Cece Mlay (trailer) Songea, Tanzania. John Mbano is on a mission to find the human remains of his great-grandfather, Songea Mbano, who was executed by the German colonial army. The family’s mourning has been passed down through the generations at Songea’s grave in which his head never found a resting place. Instead, it was shipped to Germany for racist research. John and his wife Cesilia embark on a life-changing journey. Buoyed by their resilience as they research, they finally decide to travel to Berlin to find the remains of John’s ancestor. There, they encounter activists whose voices are fighting Germany’s culture of denial. Along with them, the Mbanos confront those in power with their need to bring their ancestor home. What follows is a rollercoaster ride of new hopes and familiar disappointments. Even the historic visit of the German Federal President to John’s hometown fails to bring the beloved ancestor back home. The family’s search continues. Das leere Grab offers a personal perspective: behind the global debate about the return of ancestral remains, we find real people. People violated by a colonial past and its aftermath to this day. Their struggle paves a way to a future disentangled from a painful past. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LpSnt78o99I?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24840/made-in-england-the-films-of-powell-and-pressburger-david-hinton 2024-05-27T21:32:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Made_in_England2.webp Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger - film by David Hinton (trailer) Martin Scorsese first encountered the films of Powell and Pressburger as a child, sitting in front of the family TV. When The Archers’ famous logo appeared on screen, Scorsese recalls: “You knew you were in for fantasy, wonder, magic – real film magic.” Now, in this documentary, he tells the story of his lifelong love affair with their movies, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffmann. “Certain films you simply run all the time and you live with them,” says Scorsese. “As you grow older they grow deeper. I’m not sure how it happens, but it does. For me, that body of work is a wondrous presence, a constant source of energy, and a reminder of what life and art are all about.” Drawing on a rich array of archive material, Scorsese explores in full the collaboration between the Englishman Powell and the Hungarian Pressburger who thrived in the face of adversity during World War II but were eventually brought low by the film industry of the 1950s. Scorsese celebrates the duo’s ability to create “subversive commercial movies” and describes how deeply their films have influenced his own work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8sSeQgxj0rg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24861/unwanted-kinship-pavel-mozhar 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24876/love-by-proxy-zeit-verbrechen-faraz-shariat 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/24878/who-do-i-belong-to-me-el-ain-meryam-joobeur 2024-11-28T22:13:25.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Who_Do_I_Belong_To1.jpg Who Do I Belong To (Mé el Aïn/ماء العين) - film by Meryam Joobeur (trailer) Aïcha is gifted with prophetic dreams.

Having lived up to this point solely for their children, the parents now find themselves in a new and painful reality. A few months later, Mehdi returns home with a pregnant wife named Reem whose niqab and silence deeply unsettle Brahim. Aïcha, on the other hand, welcomes Mehdi and Reem into the family home and vows to protect them at all costs. Mehdi’s return triggers strange events in the village. Aïcha is so consumed with protecting her son that, at first, she barely notices the rising fear in the community. She must face the limits of her maternal love to counteract the growing darkness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/h81Y4kBznyA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/24919/reas-lola-arias 2024-12-07T20:20:03.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202404553_1_RWD_1380.jpg Reas - film by Lola Arias (trailer) Yoseli has a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on her back and has always wanted to travel to Europe, but she was arrested at the airport for drug trafficking.

This life is based on agriculture, mainly the cultivation of corn. Techqua Ikachi, Land – My Life is a document of self-determination and the upholding of traditions within the Hopi community, who have been based in Hotevilla, Arizona since the beginning of the 20th century. It shows the life of the community in simple, clear images. They are split in terms of their stance towards white US government policy, primarily the question of whether Hopi children should go to the “white” schools of their “enemies” in Hotevilla or their “friends” in nearby Oraibi, which has been continually inhabited since the 11th century. Over 20 years, James Danaqyumptewa filmed and documented ceremonies and protests at the behest of the village elder. This Super-8 footage forms the basis of the film, which was made with the help of filmmaker Anka Schmid and artist Agnes Barmettler. From this footage, historical photos and Barmettler’s images, the film forms a mosaic of the life of the Hopi. https://player.vimeo.com/video/262800665?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 6120 https://vurchel.com/v/24997/teaches-of-peaches-philipp-fussenegger-judy-landkammer 2024-11-29T08:44:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202404884_1_ORG.jpg Teaches of Peaches - film by Philipp Fussenegger, Judy Landkammer (trailer) Filmed during the “Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour” in 2022, this documentary seamlessly weaves together exclusive archival gems with dynamic tour footage to capture the transformative journey of Canadian Merrill Nisker into the internationally acclaimed cultural powerhouse that is Peaches.

As a feminist musician, producer, director and performance artist, Peaches has spent over two decades challenging gender expectations, solidifying her status alongside pop and music industry icons. Her fearless originality has called social norms into question, dismantled stereotypes and confronted patriarchal power structures. Through biting wit, she advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights and tackles issues of sexual and gender and identity, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture. https://player.vimeo.com/video/906819073?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25006/what-will-you-do-when-im-gone-majboor-e-mamool-haaris-qadri 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Screen+Shot+2022-08-08+at+10.44.42+AM_.png What Will You Do When I'm Gone?

She is alone and carrying nothing except a bag from the pharmacy. Diane has abandoned her newborn child and her boyfriend Martin in a maternity ward in Zurich. As night falls over Benidorm, the streets are lit by neon lights and Diane’s shadow moves to the rhythm of the city. Her quiet, impenetrable escape raises questions: What is she looking for in this foreign world? Among the package tourists, revellers and oddballs on the beach-front promenade, Diane spots Rose and follows her up to a belvedere. A tender connection develops between these two lost souls. The days go by and the possibility of returning to her old life seems more and more distant to Diane.

He is usually already asleep when his mother comes home late at night, and when he leaves for school in the morning, she, in turn, is still abed. She is a sex worker and cries a lot. Michael is saving up for a bicycle; he runs errands and feels forced to steal from his classmates regularly. Michael is often alone… The Anton Chekhov quote, “I am like the wind blowing across the lonely fields” was the impetus for this impressive sketch of everyday life from the perspective of a child in Berlin’s Wedding district who must prematurely bow to the rules of the grown-up world. With sparse dialogue and in precisely stylised visuals, Time of Maturity is a story of social numbness and marginalisation. Both are accompanied by a generalised, latent sense of violence that, in the end, becomes manifest before the young boy’s eyes. The restoration was done as part of a transnational project with the goal of making the entire oeuvre of director Sohrab Shahid Saless available again.

The Jewish family runs the village inn, a meeting point for travellers and the village community at the end of the 19th century. At first glance, the people that eat and drink here are all alike. This is where they belong. But their table conversations reveal prejudices and racist sentiments. A little derision here, some underlying envy there, poisonous attributions. Nothing out of the ordinary, at least for now. Those who are close always tease each other. Holy Week is a free adaptation of the 1889 novella “An Easter Torch” by Romanian author Ion Luca Caragiale. For this, Andrei Cohn crafts a world illuminated by considerable cinematic and psychological nuance. His characters seem to inhabit this world as if they were living today, like the people right next door, caught up in their own lives. Even when the fuse of anti-Semitism has already been lit, Leiba and his wife make plans, argue or giggle with joy. Between Jewish Passover and Christian Easter, a bomb will explode. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CKk0p9Q53JQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25132/my-stolen-planet-sayyareye-dozdide-shodeye-man-farahnaz-sharifi 2026-06-28T16:32:49.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25151/memories-of-a-burning-body-memorias-de-un-cuerpo-que-arde-antonella-sudasassi-furniss 2025-01-07T09:12:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406760_1_RWD_1920.jpg Memories of a Burning Body (Memorias de un cuerpo que arde) - film by Antonella Sudasassi Furniss (… Growing up in a repressive era when sexuality was a taboo subject, 68-year-old Ana, 69-year-old Patricia and 71-year-old Mayela developed their understanding of what it means to be a woman based on unspoken rules and implicit expectations.

Green with conifers, the earthy tones of dry meadows and church walls. In the light streaming through her grandmother’s farmhouse, where Maria Lassnig spends her childhood, shines a cardigan in sky blue for the first time, shining as if not of this world. Growing up in southern Austria, Lassnig is drawn, via Vienna’s Art Academy, into the local post-war art scene. Sky blue, pink, jade green, fleshy red. Taciturn, stubborn among men who like to hear themselves speak, she feels her way into her own body and takes a look at the world. She paints. She films. Mercilessly and mischievously. Doggedly, she develops her career. She knows the value of her painting long before the art world follows suit with its verdict. Birgit Minichmayr embodies Maria Lassnig in Anja Salomonowitz’s filmic homage to the artist across all stages of her life and psychological states, fleshing out the “body awareness” of Lassnig’s art with a physical body that produces the art. An offbeat and complex biopic in hybrid form: acted scenes and documentary sequences interlock.

Through the medium of nightmares, sounds, absent images and a child’s black-and-white photo in dry foliage, the film – slowly and in fragments – explores the memory of the civil war in Mozambique, which lasted from 1977 to 1992. Archival material is carefully deployed. The fighters for independence (FRELIMO) and the rebels of the National Resistance (RENAMO) fought each other, and countless landmines claimed their victims. Filmmaker Inadelso Cossa, still a carefree child at the time, now visits his grandmother’s village. Victims, perpetrators, former rebel fighters and surviving civilians live here. Cossa asks the sound recordist Moises, who hears voices from the graves at dusk: “Do you want to talk about it?” The filmmaker’s grandmother is suffering from the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s and can only remember at night. A former rebel numbs himself with alcohol and continues the battles in his soul. The echoes of horror are omnipresent. Against the backdrop of Mozambique’s now taboo civil war history, As Noites Ainda Cheiram a Pólvora develops a sensory approach to ghosts, to missing and fictitious memories. https://www.youtube.com/embed/79Z6Kka1-F0?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25235/oasis-of-now-chee-sum-chia 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202415511_1_RWD_1920.jpg Oasis of Now - film by Chee Sum Chia (trailer) An apartment building in Kuala Lumpur that houses migrants. Hanh secretly meets with a girl who shares her ice cream with her. A familiar routine. Later, Hanh looks after a different girl, who is surprised when Hanh kisses her. No, she is not this girl’s mother. In each scene, the way this calm, polyglot woman is seen changes, ever present and active within the frame. Hands, again and again. Without complaint, she helps everyday life function better, washing up, tidying, taking out rubbish. Which of these households is hers? The film does not resolve its ambiguities and enigmas, feeding them back into the narrative instead. Hanh also seems to be lying in wait, evading attention. She is in constant motion on the stairs and open walkways of the building. Like the others here, she has no papers. She cannot provide for the daughter she brought with her from Vietnam. Bound to badly paid jobs and threatened by the police, at times she disappears into her dreams. This Malaysian debut makes no distinction between dream and reality and wanders through the spaces of an existence denied rights. The seemingly unremarkable Hanh, played by nail artist Thi Diu Ta, is its quiet star. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EYfj65AS7bs?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25260/shirins-wedding-shirins-hochzeit-helma-sanders-brahms 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25273/gleb-osatinski 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202401040_1_RWD_1920.jpg Resentment - short film by Gleb Osatinski (trailer) Ukraine, the Soviet Union, 1990. Like many teenagers, 17-year-old Yasha is rebelling against authority. But in his homeland, some opposing forces are more dangerous than others. Yasha gets into trouble at school for playing the wrong kind of music. The head teacher not only reprimands him for his alleged misbehaviour but also for his Jewishness. Although Yasha is used to this kind of hostility, the incident still leaves him shaken. He knows he will do great in New York where his family is definitely going to go. Feeling the time is right to start burning some bridges, Yasha distances himself from his girlfriend Lilya. But that night, he learns that his dad categorically rejects the idea of emigrating. Yasha is crushed. In addition to feeling unwelcome in his school and town, he is also stricken by a deep sense of loss. Horribly disappointed by his father who is standing in the way of his longed-for escape, Yasha sets off on a journey that will take him to the precipice of irreparable harm. https://www.youtube.com/embed/utWB6e5Rzc8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25291/exhuma-pa-myo-jang-jae-hyun 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202409500_1_RWD_1920.jpg Exhuma (Pa-myo) - film by Jang Jae-hyun (trailer) Young shaman Hwa-rim and her partner and co-medium Bong-gil respond to a call for help from the USA, where the wealthy Park family, Korean exiles, is plagued by irritations: something is wrong with the family’s descendants and the head of the family himself is hearing screams. The duo accept the job – after all, it’s well paid – and, along with a feng shui expert and an undertaker, they start to exhume the ancestors’ grave in the north of Gangwon-do province. In the process, something escapes from the coffin, people die, others prove to be obsessed and the real problems haven’t even started yet. Jang Jae-hyun’s third feature film is a horror mystery thriller full of humour and verve, addressing issues of class, history, tradition, religion and superstition. Unfolding around the strange coffin in this odd place is an episodic series of lushly staged incantation rituals with linguistic analyses of grave lids, that relishes in cinematic effects and is carried by a great cast – besides Oldboy star Choi Min-sik as the geomancer, above all Kim Go-eun. https://www.youtube.com/embed/j_6_wLF1pDg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25308/dying-sterben-matthias-glasner 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406481_5_RWD_1920.jpg Dying (Sterben) - film by Matthias Glasner (trailer) The Lunies family has not really been a family for a long time. Lissy Lunies, in her mid-70s, is quietly happy when Gerd, her husband who is slowly wasting away from dementia, is put in a care home. But her new-found freedom is short-lived: diabetes, cancer, kidney failure and the onset of blindness signal that she does not have much time left herself. Meanwhile, her son Tom, who is a conductor, is working on a composition entitled “Dying” with his depressive best friend Bernard. Tom’s ex-girlfriend Liv wants him to be the surrogate father of her child. His sister Ellen begins an affair with a married dentist with whom she shares a passion for alcohol and intoxication. But everything in life has its price. Confronted with death, the estranged family members finally meet again. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kagVqEfPxFw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25328/supermarket-supermarkt-roland-klick 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414617_3_ORG.jpg Supermarket (Supermarkt) - film by Roland Klick (trailer) Young slacker Willi makes his way in Hamburg as a petty criminal and hustler. He finds temporary refuge with a committed journalist, a wealthy homosexual, and finally, a seedy hoodlum. He feels exploited by all of them. The only person who seems to sincerely like him is sex worker Monika. To try to escape the misery with her and her young son, Willi gets involved in the armed robbery of a supermarket cash transport… Supermarket is an action film wrapped around a social drama, that finally becomes a melodrama. Shot almost entirely on street locations, it tells the story of the increasingly aggressive attempts by a street hustler to find a little bit of security. The harsh red-light and port district of St. Pauli here becomes a grubby, neon-lit, garish asphalt jungle, with the urban cowboy trying in vain to escape its dreariness after a desperate and bumbling attempted coup.

He is celebrating his 50th birthday there with his wife, two children and a few guests. When the Earth begins to tremble, the group hears that nuclear war has broken out. To appease God, Alexander is prepared to offer himself up as a sacrifice by sleeping with the maid, Maria, called a “witch”… This was the last film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, who was already sick when it was made. It premiered just a few weeks after the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown and was hailed as the graphic admonition of a “visionary” (Ingmar Bergman). And indeed, in poetic images and philosophical-religious dialogue, The Sacrifice marries the merciless précis of its protagonist’s life with a powerful plea for modern humans to engage in self-reflection and self-restraint. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ODJb2-PLu7Y?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25355/wandering-bird-oiseau-de-passage-victor-dupuis 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25362/pacific-vein-ulu-braun 2025-10-19T20:37:15.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202414130_3_RWD_1920.jpg Pacific Vein - short film by Ulu Braun (trailer) The endless tracking shot through a picturesque US panorama allows the American Dream to slide into ghostly auto-suggestion while Assange and Bezos ponder life. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lhPSGpSkDkg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25377/the-wayward-cloud-tian-bian-yi-duo-yun-tsai-ming-liang 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202402613_2_RWD_1920.jpg The Wayward Cloud (Tian bian yi duo yun) - film by Tsai Ming-liang (trailer) It is a hot summer in Taipei. Water is scarce, but melons make a good alternative. A young Korean woman reencounters an old acquaintance and, over the course of nightly meetings in her apartment, a tender, almost non-verbal romance develops. Shiang-chyi has no idea that Hsiao-kang now works as an actor in cheap porn movies that an amateur film crew shoots in the same high-rise. Melons are involved… Big-city isolation and its close companion, alienation, alongside sexual exploitation are at the core of the modern love story told by The Wayward Cloud, with the diverse uses for melon guaranteeing both annoying, but also comedic, moments. The film garnered three awards at the 2005 Berlinale, including the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QSmWstWA8PM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25379/pepe-nelson-carlos-de-los-santos-arias 2024-08-27T09:21:30.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403660_1_RWD_1920.jpg Pepe - film by Nelson Carlos De Los Santos Arias (trailer) A voice that claims to belong to a hippopotamus. A voice that does not understand the perception of time. A voice that tells of a historical event as if in a trance. “Am I making that sound that comes out of my mouth? And what is a mouth anyway?” The only thing the animal knows for sure is that it is dead. The first and only hippopotamus ever killed in the Americas. The Colombian press called him Pepe. Between encounters and misunderstandings, epiphanies and sadness, we enter a world full of stories replete with even more stories. In a serious and playful way, both authentic and deceptive, images and sounds narrate the overwhelming orality of places full of beings who, like Pepe, died without ever knowing where they really were. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mnqGgo96x7Q?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25397/verbrannte-erde-scorched-earth-thomas-arslan 2024-05-07T04:40:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202408932_1_RWD_1920.jpg Scorched Earth (Verbrannte Erde) - film by Thomas Arslan (trailer) Following In the Shadows, the film Scorched Earth is the second part of Thomas Arslan’s Trojan trilogy. Twelve years after career criminal Trojan was forced to flee Berlin, the search for contracts leads him back to the city. Trojan is broke and urgently needs a new job. But Berlin has changed and his old contacts are no longer of much use. Plus, Trojan’s maxim of only ever working for cash is hard to follow in an increasingly digitalised world. So it takes some time before the middlewoman Rebecca finally offers him the prospect of a lucrative contract: a painting by Caspar David Friedrich is to be stolen from a museum. The heist unites Trojan with getaway driver Diana, his former mate Luca and the young Chris. Everything looks promising, but the shadowy client and his henchman Victor have their own plans for the painting. Soon it becomes less about the money and more about getting out alive. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bQ-u25S6qpg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25411/above-the-dust-wo-tu-wang-xiaoshuai 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202409035_3_RWD_1920.jpg Above the Dust (Wo Tu) - film by Wang Xiaoshuai (Making of) Ten-year-old Wo Tu dreams of having a water pistol like the other boys in his village. Even though his father promised, he fails to bring one back with him from the city. But there is one hope for Wo Tu: his dying grandfather assures him that he will grant his wish once he becomes a ghost. After his death, the old man visits the boy in his dreams and initiates a treasure hunt. Soon, the boundaries between reality and dreams, past and present become increasingly blurred. Spanning three generations of a family in rural China, the film also paints a portrait of their profound love for the land. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-3tA8NS2P-s?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25444/winners-sieger-sein-soleen-yusef 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403796_3_RWD_1920.jpg Winners (Sieger sein) - film by Soleen Yusef (trailer) Eleven-year-old Mona and the rest of her seven-member Kurdish family have fled Syria and ended up in Berlin. Or, more precisely, the neighbourhood of Wedding where Mona is sent to a notorious primary school attended by 90 percent “foreigners”. Chaos reigns in the school. Most of the teachers are having a nervous breakdown and frustration levels amongst the pupils are growing by the day. Mona feels it, too. She can barely speak German, but she can speak football. In her hometown, she often played street football with her mates. She misses her home, her friends and especially her aunt Helin. She was Mona’s hero who always supported her passion for football. Everything is different in Germany. Then a dedicated teacher called Mr Che recognises Mona’s special talent and selects her for the girls’ team. But this well-intentioned gesture fails to make things any easier. Mona is quickly identified as an outsider and playing in a team with the other girls turns out to be more difficult than expected. Each of them is fighting their own battles but one thing soon becomes clear: they will only win if they all play together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tWHqQUK09Ng?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25461/small-things-like-these-kleine-dinge-wie-diese-tim-mielants 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25466/lisa-marie-malloy-j.p-sniadecki-ray-whitaker 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25483/o-seeker-gavati-wad 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25497/the-perfect-square-gernot-wieland 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25502/ingrid-pokropek 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/qZPsZEVfI4cPV5OTA7R11xt8Yyj.jpg The Major Tones (Los tonos mayores) - film by Ingrid Pokropek (trailer) Fourteen-year-old Ana lives in Buenos Aires with her dad Javier, an artist and teacher. Following an accident, she has a metal plate in her arm. During the winter holidays, Ana suddenly starts to feel mysterious pulses in the plate. Without mentioning anything about it to Javier, she works with her friend Lepa to compose a melody, “The Heartbeat Song”, inspired by the rhythmic signals. One night, an argument with Lepa leads Ana to wander the city alone. A chance encounter with a young soldier reveals the true nature of the pulses: they are words in Morse code. After realising that her arm is an antenna to an unknown mystery, Ana becomes determined to decode the words. As she delves into the labyrinth of secret messages, she distances herself from her friend and her dad. The previously harmonious winter holiday is transformed by Ana’s obsession as she wonders if the coded words are addressed specifically to her. A fantastic tale about music, secret messages and winter days. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UC5FGMo_38s?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25513/a-summers-end-poem-sommer-ende-lam-can-zhao 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25550/supersex-francesca-manieri-and-4-others 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202408885_3_RWD_1920.jpg Supersex - film by Francesca Manieri, Matteo Rovere, Francesco Carrozzini, Francesca Mazzoleni, Fra… Rocco Siffredi is considered to be the most famous porn star in the world. Born Rocco Tano in Ortona, Italy, he grows up in humble circumstances. His role models are his eldest brother Tommaso, who is dating the most desirable girl in town, and Supersex, a very particular superhero in a pornographic comic. When, in an incredible twist of fate, Rocco meets Supersex, he discovers that the two share the same superpower. This can save him from the difficult circumstances of his life, but it also forces him to pay the highest price: to give up love forever, or so it seems. The series depicts a life in the porn industry. It is about sex and passion but also about death. The story examines how masculinity is constructed and which questions of desire and power still dominate the relationship between men and women today. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8aGt6YK-Ecw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25553/five-weeks-geej-ower 2024-05-27T21:27:52.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Five-Weeks-Geej-Ower-07.jpg Five Weeks - short film by Geej Ower Following the birth of her baby, Jen's feelings of isolation are palpable.

While the guests immerse themselves in the excitement of the party, Fina struggles with traditional female roles and her longing for a female person of reference. Fina and her caring older sister only gradually realise how much their mother’s absence is affecting both their lives. They will need to support each other if they hope to make it through the difficult transition into adulthood. Porzellan is a tender, timeless reflection on the coming-of-age of girls in a patriarchal society.

A mining company is pressuring the community to sell their land and is resorting to radical means of intimidation: several alpacas are found with their throats slit.

Originally taking their inspiration from the concept of Room 666 by Wim Wenders, Elysa Wendi and Wai Shing Lee invited various artists to the hotel room 525 during an art residency in 2019. Being affected by the situation of social movements in the city, they began to question the function of artists, or rather filmmakers like themselves, in times like this. Room 404 is an essayistic response to the documentary Room 525 shot by the same artists. The film marks the transition from documentary to essay, from the real space of the room to the reality marked by the most common error of the digital age, 404: file not found.

He documents the slow-motion eradication of the villages in his home region where soldiers deployed by the Israeli government are gradually demolishing houses and driving out their residents. At some point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, who supports him in his efforts. An unlikely alliance develops. But the relationship between the two is strained by the enormous inequality between them: Basel lives under military occupation while Yuval lives freely and without restrictions. This film by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists has been made as an act of creative resistance on the path to greater justice. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7VpWvy-G82o?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25731/resonance-spiral-filipa-cesar-marinho-de-pina 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25732/selfportrait-maria-lassnig 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202415307_1_RWD_1920.jpg Selfportrait - short film by Maria Lassnig A self-portrait with a stick.

Film 5 of the Forum Special programme “Ten Short Films by Maria Lassnig”, which we are showing to complement Anja Salomonowitz’s film Sleeping with a Tiger from the Forum main programme. Maria Lassnig’s cinematic works are exercises in body transformations: Gratifying frictions, lively critiques, wonderful ideas, sometimes hand-drawn and sung by the director herself.

One has a sexual encounter with another man, without himself experiencing it either as an expression of homosexual longings or infidelity. The other suddenly experiences nocturnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman. This confuses and disturbs him. He begins to wonder to what extent the gaze of others shapes his personality and whether there are aspects of himself that he has suppressed, thereby limiting himself. In Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex, the chimney is swept before we get down to business. Whether hetero or homo, witty wordplay challenges normative images of men and society in modern urban Norway. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7NkBOhnbBNM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25771/shahid-narges-kalhor 2026-06-19T15:26:02.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406618_1_RWD_1920.jpg Shahid - film by Narges Kalhor (trailer) A wildly clever film that’s part reality, part fiction, part theatre and part musical. Director Narges Shahid Kalhor directs an actor playing a version of herself. She doesn’t want to be called “Shahid” (martyr) anymore, and is determined to change her name. Then, her heroic great-grandfather turns up – given the title of martyr 100 years ago in Iran – from whom his descendants inherited the name. He wants to dissuade his great-granddaughter, and shadows her in her quest along with his dancing friends. The Bavarian district administration sends her to a psychologist, who also has a difficult name… In the end, everyone is hindered: the director by bureaucracy, the actor by the director’s demands, her great-grandfather by his descendant’s determination and the film by itself. The winds of history blow her round and round in circles, through the scenic German town and through her own film shoot, as stereotypes and privileges are shaken up performatively and inventively, all while having a lot of fun along the way. Ambiguous autofiction with visual arcs, songs and poems: a tragicomic, defiant act of self-empowerment in exile. https://www.youtube.com/embed/h5od04n2CG4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25773/spaceman-johan-renck 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25777/play-me-caleb-phillips 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Play-Me-Caleb-Phillips-02-768x576.jpg Play Me - short film by Caleb Phillips Two characters, one car, and a pitch black desert are all that’s needed here to create an isolated environment for a truly hair-raising situation.

They initially lead a harmonious life, but when Tashi fails to return from a trading trip to Lhasa, the legitimacy of Pema’s unborn child is questioned by her community. Determined to prove her love and purity, she embarks on a quest to find Tashi. Accompanied by her brother-in-law, her now de facto spouse Karma, she goes into the wilderness. Karma is a monk. After initially resisting giving up his monastic life, he gradually comes to appreciate the simple existence of a secular life. However, urgent duties call him back to the monastery and Pema is left alone. As she navigates the harsh Himalayan terrain, her quest transcends the search for her missing husband. Pema becomes increasingly immersed in a spiritual search for meaning in which every step brings her closer to self-discovery and liberation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2EXOwDgrIg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25791/shikun-amos-gitai 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202415478_1_RWD_1920.jpg Shikun - film by Amos Gitai (trailer) A diverse cross-section of Israeli society converges in a single multi-use building, the Shikun.

Elias enjoys spending time with Alexander but keeps his burgeoning feelings to himself. Afraid of the reactions of those around him, he becomes entangled in a web of lies until he no longer knows how to extricate himself apart from to push Alexander away. Elias feels completely alone. However, after a heartfelt conversation with his grandfather about how much he loved his deceased wife, Elias realises that love is too precious to let it slip away.

A chamber piece set in a US city. Keren Cytter reveals her ensemble very slowly: young people loosely connected to each other and yet existentially linked. Trying to understand themselves and others. Money is a problem, to say nothing of life. Uniqueness. Everyone is carrying some sort of burden: Angel an old flame, Timur drugs, Nicole the ashes of her dead father (in her shopper bag). Death leaves behind traces, filth, reality. Beliefs pop up alongside shortcomings: “You’re too white.” In constantly shifting relationship constellations, they wear their intense feelings on their sleeves, get wrapped up in each other and fall into magnificent loops of dialogue. And yet every attempt at intimacy leads to another moment of helplessness. “It’s a vacuum cleaner. Do you wanna fuck me?” – “No.” Within all this somnambulant swerving, technological gadgets point to the future. The close and the distant, identity are easier to negotiate online for digital natives – and to market. A cleverly constructed tragedy about chilling, with fantastic synth sounds and one of the best uses of a drone in cinema history. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LCjUGCXGxmo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25800/the-strangers-case-brandt-andersen 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Chime-directed-by-Kurosawa-Kiyoshi-Roadstead-202414894_1_ORG-res.webp The Strangers’ Case - film by Brandt Andersen (trailer) Over four centuries ago, William Shakespeare collaborated with others on a play about the historical figure Sir Thomas More. In it, he wrote a speech in which More passionately articulates a defence of refugees, culminating in a poignant reference to their plight. Fast-forward to the present: Aleppo, in the midst of the Syrian civil war. Amira, a paediatric surgeon, performs a life-saving operation during the darkest days of the conflict. Through an unexpected twist of fate, she and her daughter become central characters in a dangerous tale that intricately interweaves the lives of five families spanning four continents and redefines all of their existences. Versions of this story continue to repeat themselves over the centuries. For this reason, Shakespeare aptly named this plight “The Strangers’ Case”. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SiUOlz1SPAo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25813/sojourn-to-shangri-la-shi-ri-fang-gu-lin-yihan 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403656_1_ORG.jpg Sojourn to Shangri-La (Shi ri fang gu) - short film by Lin Yihan (trailer) An elaborate fashion shoot is planned on the beach, but the backdrop built in advance has been swallowed by the sea overnight.

The eye is drawn to the Museum of the Inconspicuous, constructed from the urban material which becomes the aesthetic representative and identification space for its users and residents. Based on his experiences in the urban space of Berlin, the narrator describes a subjective paradise in which human-made systems of order are repeatedly disrupted by the chaos factor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/j9ykA9dBIjI?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25822/traces-of-movement-before-the-ice-spuren-von-bewegung-vor-dem-eis-rene-froelke 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202411797_1_RWD_1920.jpg Traces of Movement Before the Ice (Spuren von Bewegung vor dem Eis) - film by René Frölke (trailer) The film gives brief glimpses into rooms bathed in light. The Bolex camera whirs. Twenty years after the closure of Swiss publishing house Pendo, which was founded in 1971, its story is revealed by way of personification: heir Theresia Weigner and her partner, who repeatedly circle, examine and lose sight again of this legacy with all the weight it carries. Here articles of memory are piled high, cared for, stashed away. Remaining stock, no longer hot off the press, but still packaged up for sale, unfinished manuscripts, cover designs, cassettes, office supplies, correspondence and tax documents are all laid out like in a time capsule: books by Margarete Mitscherlich, Dorothee Sölle, Dom Hélder Câmara, illustrated volumes about Robert Lax or the Sihl Valley. René Frölke’s film gives a structure to this archive and becomes a simple chamber of wonders. He finds his own annotations within the inner pull exerted by the artefacts and accompanies these stubborn, overwhelmed preservers on their way through their everyday life amid the piles of material. Written elements from the film script also play a part. At the end of the corridor, jazz music sounds from a small radio. https://player.vimeo.com/video/912854070?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25826/amplified-sukoun-dina-naser 2024-03-13T16:51:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25829/tako-tsubo-fanny-sorgo-eva-pedroza 2026-03-14T07:45:32.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202403100_1_RWD_1920.jpg Tako Tsubo - short film by Fanny Sorgo, Eva Pedroza (trailer) Mr. Ham decides to have his heart removed to free himself from his complicated emotions.

When Laura decides to go visit a boy she likes, Rafaela has to tag along. But then Laura and the boy lock themselves in his room. Rafaela waits, gets bored and finally begins to explore the house.

He’s been invited to join a tour abroad, which would be well paid. But Tobby hesitates to accept. Because he wouldn’t be playing “his” music. Caught in a quandary about whether to choose art or career, he roams the city. He goes to a basement jazz club, a snack bar, the Wannsee beach; he meets fellow artists, an admirer, friends and acquaintances – and finally makes a decision… “The people and locations are real”. The film seems to be as improvised as its protagonist’s music. The associative editing, jump cuts and high shots made Tobby a pioneer of cinematic modernism, so of course it could not find a distributor. Whereby the documentary images do more than just give us a look at Berlin’s artistic niches and urban wastelands. In Tobby’s sessions with musician friends, the palaver within Kreuzberg’s bohemian world – especially during the five-minute drum and scat solo performed in the Gropius Bau, which had been destroyed in the war – the city becomes an echo chamber for his attitude towards life. https://player.vimeo.com/video/387073727?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25837/sons-vogter-gustav-moeller 2025-01-09T15:36:43.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202404654_0_RWD_1920.jpg Sons (Vogter) - film by Gustav Möller (trailer) The idealistic prison guard Eva faces the dilemma of her lifetime when a young man from her past is transferred to the prison where she works.

A director is planning a film about her struggles with being a mother and remaining a filmmaker. But she is failing to make any real progress with the project. She turns for help to a writer who has reflected on her motherhood in a novel. The author replies with a simple suggestion: instead of writing about the film that doesn’t seem to be working out, why not just write about her own situation? She could describe what she likes about life with her daughter, what she misses and what mattered in her previous life. The author would also like to know what a video correspondence might look like. The filmmaker now adds images to her words. The letter becomes a film, and this film still has room for a completely different narrative. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aP57QcF2tdk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25843/through-the-graves-the-wind-is-blowing-travis-wilkerson 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406729_1_RWD_1920.jpg Through the Graves the Wind Is Blowing (Through the Graves the Wind Is Blowing) - film by Travis Wi… If there is anyone who embodies the current state of life in Croatia, it is the police detective Ivan Peric. The son of a fisherman, he became a detective as a way of avoiding working in the only really prospering industry of present-day Croatia – tourism. Now his life is consumed by trying to solve a series of essentially unsolvable murders of tourists. Because the tourists are so widely despised, no one will help Ivan. Evidence disappears into the labyrinth of bureaucracy. He is humiliated in public and online. In the local press, his boss even labels him an “uhljeb”, the Croatian slur for a “lazy bureaucratic parasite”. All of this takes place in the city of Split, where the breakup of Yugoslavia has left its mark. https://player.vimeo.com/video/904669558?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25854/the-devils-bath-des-teufels-bad-veronika-franz-severin-fiala 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/202406824_1_RWD_1920.jpg The Devil’s Bath (Des Teufels Bad) - film by Veronika Franz, Severin Fiala (trailer) Upper Austria in 1750. A fish pond reflects the overcast sky. A deep, dark forest swallows the sunlight. On a hilltop, the corpse of a hanged woman is displayed. As an example. A warning. An omen? The deeply religious and highly sensitive Agnes regards the dead woman with pity. But also with longing: she feels like a stranger in the world of her husband Wolf, whom she has just married. It is an emotionally cold world consisting of work, chores and expectations. Agnes increasingly withdraws into herself. Her internal prison becomes ever more oppressive, her melancholy more overwhelming. Soon, her only way out seems to be a shocking act of violence. Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala create a profound and disturbing psychological portrait of a woman made of flesh and bone, sinew and soul, played by Anja Plaschg who, as Soap & Skin, also composed the score. Des Teufels Bad gives a voice to the peasant women who were invisible and unheard at that time and depicts their harsh daily lives defined by religious dogma and taboos whose impact resonates to this day. The film is based on historical court records about a shocking, previously unexplored chapter of European history. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y1zea8gnwU4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25856/balomania-sissel-morell-dargis 2024-11-18T15:46:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Balomania-1.jpeg Balomania - film by Sissel Morell Dargis (trailer) Deep in the Brazilian favelas, a secret community of men are planning their next illegal action. They are ‘baloeiros’ – balloon builders. This group of tattooed, rugged men love balloons and can spend years gluing brightly coloured tissue paper together to create giant hot air balloons the size of apartment blocks(!) that can paint the sky in incredible colours and portray the likes of 2pac and Pelé. Different groups of baloeiros compete against each other to make the most beautiful, biggest and most spectacular balloons. Meanwhile, they themselves are hunted by police and bounty hunters, as the authorities consider them dangerous and criminal. The young Danish/Spanish filmmaker Sissel Dargis Morell has spent several years gaining the trust of the Brazilian balloon gangs and has created an action-packed film alternating between fast-paced car chases, balloon action and scenes from the secret workshops. ‘Balomania’ is an incredible story about a secret brotherhood on the margins of society, where the street sweeper can be king for a day and where the dream of freedom takes wings at last. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BjV5jRx96ug?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25858/the-black-garden-alexis-pazoumian 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25863/life-and-other-problems-max-kestner 2024-11-29T13:48:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1480216-1280x720.jpeg Life and Other Problems - film by Max Kestner (trailer) When Marius the giraffe was euthanised by the Copenhagen Zoo 10 years ago, the news went viral from Hollywood to Chechnya. But it was also the first domino to fall in the sprawling forest of existential questions Max Kestner asks himself (and us) in his new and wonderfully adventurous film. What is life? Does consciousness exist? Where does love come from? And last but not least: How does it all fit together – like, really? With curiosity and an open mind, Kestner embarks on a philosophical journey around the world to find answers to his questions. Scientists such as Charles Foster and Eske Willerslev contribute, and even though each question spawns to three new ones, you nevertheless learn more about the big and small connections of the universe along the way. What could have ended up as the most pretentious film of all time has instead become posibly the most fun, creative and completely unpredictable experience of the year. Because even though the scale is cosmic, Max Kestner’s attention is always on the curious detail. https://www.youtube.com/embed/A4CQdB3DC_Y?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25864/the-flats-alessandra-celesia 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/the-flats.jpg The Flats - film by Alessandra Celesia (trailer) In his tower-block apartment in New Lodge, Joe reenacts memories from his childhood amidst the «Troubles».

In this 16 mm short it acts a form, metaphor and a cinematic mythology as a phantasmagorical mixtape about being and becoming a truck driver unfolds. Two parallel stories share a drivers cabin in this film. A truck driver shares his thoughts of being a trucker while playing music from different corners of the world; cliché, romantic, rowdy music. The other story breaks in, a driving teacher instructs someone on how to drive a truck. The two stories intertwine, the truck driver turns out to also be an artist, while the artist becomes a trucker. Day light shifts over into pink sunset. Somewhere between fantasy and reality emerges a haunted hill with a ghost fox as the truck descends into darkness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zVU_ng6Jvhw?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/25926/rasmus-nielsen-jakob-fenger-bjrnstjerne-christiansen 2024-05-27T21:21:45.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/25931/my-want-of-you-partakes-of-me-beny-wagner-sasha-litvintseva 2024-05-27T21:21:09.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/My_Want_of_You_Partakes1.jpg My Want of You Partakes of Me - film by Beny Wagner, Sasha Litvintseva (trailer) My Want of You Partakes of Me interrogates digestion as the fundamental condition for being in the world, a process of physiological, psychological, spiritual, literary and scientific dimensions.

But ‘To Be an Extra’ is not a self-absorbed career project disguised as a documentary. In a distinctly original move, Meyer instead puts herself at risk and disappears into the nameless supporting roles in adverts and German TV crime dramas she is offered. She is the policewoman in the background when the stars of a TV series solve a murder. And from her new perspective as an out-of-focus extra, she gains a new existential insight into the precarious life on the fringes of both the film industry and society. ‘To Be an Extra’ is a film that invents its own rules along the way and becomes a piece of performative autofiction that keeps unfolding. Cracks appear in the fabric of reality and something new takes shape in a meta-filmic self-portrait about finding yourself by becoming someone else. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uhMjgp2bdcQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26229/the-gutter-yassir-lester-isaiah-lester 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26232/high-tide-marco-calvani 2024-05-07T04:33:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26235/art-is-serious-maria-alekseeva-milena-egorova 2024-07-11T16:09:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Art_is_serious!.png Art is Serious!

When celebrated French film director Claire Simon first walks into the Parisian hospital where she intends to make her next film, she has the idea that an illness will strike her during the making of the film. She wants to investigate what it really means to inhabit a woman’s body, and she does so in the public hospital. Here are pregnant women and women who want an abortion. Here are women who were once men and men who want to be women. There are women who are sick and women who are recovering. Here are women who laugh and women who cry, and women who give birth and give birth, operate and operate, come and go, live and die. Over the course of more than two and a half hours, ‘Our Body’ gives time and attention to all the human drama between the nurses and their patients, and then it examines whether there is any truth to Claire Simon’s initial thought of illness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LiAYazlrBTQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26429/opal-guillaume-cardell-thibaut-duverneix 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26432/kiss-crash-adam-cole 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/frame-009.jpeg Kiss/Crash - short film by Adam Cole (trailer) The installation triptych "Kiss/Crash" employs AI-imagery to explore themes of desire and the expanding gap between real experience and artificial representations in the digital age. The interactive experience consists of three related works that use AI to augment, subvert, and negate the iconic image of the Hollywood kiss. Using a queer lens to appropriate a classic Hollywood aesthetic, the work places AI within the history of image-production technologies meant to incite and homogenize our desires. In the process, it reveals the nature of AI imagery and hints at how our most intimate desires will continue to be stretched and shaped by artificial representations at an accelerating pace. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UXiSLu7mVHA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26436/eclipsing-andrew-schneider-annie-saunders 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26439/a-picture-cant-take-me-cibelle-cavalli-bastos 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26442/walk-to-westerbork-mary-matheson 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Rodi_Screenshot-2023-05-10-at-14.20.jpg Walk to Westerbork - short film by Mary Matheson (trailer) "Walk to Westerbork" is a remarkable virtual reality experience told through an intensely personal account of a young girl’s survival during the Holocaust.

In the following years, non-white drags created their own competitions, and this was the birth of ballroom: a competition where performers compete in different categories such as face, runway and old way in front of three judges, trying to outdo their opponent with style and confidence. It all takes place in an infernal chaos of music, rhymes, shouts and comments from an audience that drives the atmosphere to the roof. Ballroom is a fashion show, a beauty pageant, a dance performance and a war. But most of all, it is a sanctuary where primarily queer and non-white people can get a break from a society that doesn’t have many spaces for them. But this is also a no bullshit culture. If you don’t have your moves together, you’ll get chopped by the judges and you’re out. Meet the key performers of Rio de Janeiro’s thriving ballroom scene in an upbeat, sweaty and delightfully unruly film from a parallel universe of moves and resistance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LR5k4XFnUuM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26448/invisible-nation-vanessa-hope 2024-06-13T12:40:31.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2500_1.jpeg Invisible Nation - film by Vanessa Hope (trailer) With unrestricted access to Taiwan's current president, we follow the tenure of Tsai Ing-wen, the country's first female head of state, during a time of great political tension between East and West. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D-sFRJIw8-w?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26462/tulpamancer-marc-da-costa-matthew-niederhauser 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Tulpamancer_Screenshot01.png Tulpamancer - short film by Marc Da Costa, Matthew Niederhauser (trailer) "Tulpamancer" explores how the intersection of generative AI and VR can shape new ways of encountering ourselves. Sitting down at a computer terminal, participants first encounter the tulpa through a series of questions about their lives. They are then invited to meet in a world prepared uniquely for them in VR by the tulpa, embarking on a journey through a series of uniquely generated scenes that evoke and question the memories of their past and potential fates. These uniquely generated experiences are destroyed at the end, left only to resonate in the minds of each participant. Presented by Deloitte.

Songs for a Passerby is a meditative quest that allows you to step outside reality for a moment and look at yourself.

After an emotional climax, spurred on by the family’s homophobic claim that Manny and Sameer’s marriage was merely a green-card arrangement, Manny comes to realize that his objections won't change the fact that his husband died — try as he might, he cannot delay grief. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Es5m617IAeg?autoplay=0 900 https://vurchel.com/v/26601/the-trouble-with-mr-doodle-jaimie-dcruz-ed-perkins 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/images_(5).jpg The Trouble With Mr Doodle - film by Jaimie D'Cruz, Ed Perkins (The Trouble With Mr Doodle | 2024 S… Sam Cox was born to draw.

From the makers of Academy Award-nominated documentaries Exit Through The Gift Shop and Black Sheep, and the Producer of Academy Award-winning documentaries Man on Wire and Searching for Sugar Man, The Trouble With Mr Doodle is the story of an extraordinary boy born into an ordinary family and a cautionary tale about how sometimes we really do need to be careful what we wish for. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mum7EHHAJb4?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26606/songs-from-the-hole-contessa-gayles 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26609/this-is-a-film-about-the-black-keys-jeff-dupre 2024-11-24T10:47:48.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/images_(7).jpg This is a Film About The Black Keys. - film by Jeff Dupre (trailer) This is a film about The Black Keys traces Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney's journey from a jamming session in a basement in Akron, Ohio, to rock ’n’ roll super-stardom.

Touring relentlessly for ten years, the duo navigated the highs and lows of life on the road, finally reaching escape velocity with their hit records Brothers and El Camino.

Described as “The blueprint for what an independent group should be” (John Doran, The British Masters), Mogwai built a cult following by staying true to their sound and true to their roots. The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 - a record made during lockdown.

What began as a Black college cookout, soon became known for lurid tales of highway hookups and legendary late-night parties that ultimately led to the festival’s downfall.

How did a gifted, young opera protege from small-town Killeen evolve into the legendary voice of Austin? The name of Aielli’s show, “Eklektikos,” meant “chosen from the best.” The best of what?

A hyper-modern building that offers specialised treatment for physical and neurological disabilities. The architecture is based on a holistic approach where the building is part of the treatment. There are windows in the ceiling so bedridden patients can see the sky. There are animals to be fed, wheelchair basketball, stairs to rehabilitate on, an art workshop and music therapy. In this innovative setting, we meet people who have been affected by strokes, industrial accidents or by the unfortunate play of chance. Filmmaker Louise Lemoine tells her own story of spending much of her childhood with her severely disabled father in various rehabilitation centres, which she describes as the worst rooms of her life. ‘Rehab (from Rehab)’ is a personal narrative and an inspiring take on how universal design and thoughtful architecture can change the way we organise the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kXQYtNrZUqM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26631/christmas-every-day-faye-tsakas 2025-02-13T07:35:49.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/ChristmasEveryDay_February2024_FINAL.00_02_30_22_.Still009_.webp Christmas, Every Day - short film by Faye Tsakas "Christmas, Every Day" gives a slice-of-life glimpse of preteen influencers Peyton and Lyla Wesson, ages 11 and 12, as they perform for their online fans under their mother’s watchful guidance.

Inside the school, her hopes and ambitions expand, even as outside, opportunity begins to shrink. On this particular day, these two worlds collide. Her Professor gets pulled out of the classroom by an unknown military force, and briefly returns to give them their homework, each to give a presentation on a unique element from the periodic table. Once arriving home, Yasmeen realizes she's lost her element. A day full of adventures and obstacles unfold as she urgently tries to track down her Professor's house. Yasmeen is helped and sometimes hindered by those she encounters – a parable for what women’s education can be in an unstable place. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0P4jRkqNeW8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26771/the-human-surge-3-el-auge-del-humano-3-eduardo-williams 2024-05-27T20:56:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/human-surge-1.webp The Human Surge 3 (El auge del humano 3) - film by Eduardo Williams (trailer) Where is the most advanced cinema going today? Maybe it is heading in the same direction as Eduardo ‘Teddy’ Williams, but it will probably be at least a couple of hundred years before the rest of the film world catches up with the Argentinian alchemist. In any case, we dare to promise that you’ve never experienced anything like ‘The Human Surge 3’, which is a kind of distant relative of the first ‘The Human Surge’ – and no, there is no second film in the series, and you don’t need to have seen the first to be carried away by the trippy flow of images in Williams’ latest creation, which is filmed with a 360-degree camera of the type that is usually only used for virtual reality. The film accompanies three different groups of friends in Taiwan, Sri Lanka and Peru, who, despite the geographical distance between them, inhabit the same world in crisis, and who eventually come together in a virtual community across time and space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBnI41V4NAM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26777/being-ola-ola-en-helt-vanlig-uvanlig-fyr-ragnhild-noest-bergem 2024-05-27T20:56:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/fcdd09d4-1ee4-458b-8b26-c7a22f1c903d.webp Being Ola (Ola - en helt vanlig uvanlig fyr) - film by Ragnhild Noest Bergem (trailer) 30-year-old Ola lives in the small Norwegian village of Vidaråsen, where the 150 residents are a fine mix of people with and without disabilities. A community living a slow-paced life in harmony with nature and values such as empathy, respect and interdependence. Ola, who has an intellectual disability, spends his days in the village, working in the workshop, pulling carrots from the ground and chatting for hours with his best friend, Lasse, who lives in the village. The conversations and cordial friendship are a highlight of Ola’s daily life, but in the background, there’s always the threat of Lasse getting fed up with his work or moving back to Denmark. Norwegian audience favourite ‘Being Ola’ is first and foremost an honest and heartwarming portrait of the thoughtful and gracious Ola, but through him and his reflections, it tells the universal story of inclusion, diversity, independence and the importance of being exactly who you are. No matter who you are. https://player.vimeo.com/video/789007114?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26778/the-golden-key-marc-da-costa-matthew-niederhauser 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/26782/detachment-luke-higgs-roman-rappak 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/3463473.jpg Detachment - short film by Luke Higgs, Roman Rappak (trailer) "Detachment" is a cinematic and interactive journey through our shifting sense of reality, challenging our sense of the here and now, and blending the boundary between a music video and video game with a unique movement mechanic that rewards the curious, and AI driven randomisation.

Soundtracked by UK band Pivots and narrated by actor Erik Todd Dellums, "Detachment" explores the way our sense of reality is in constant flux.

But sometimes remembrance is a form of catharsis, especially for the women of the Weitou people, who were among Hong Kong's original settlers. For generations they protested their arranged marriages with proud songs on their wedding nights - "bridal laments" that have now been brought back to life as an electro-infused anthem by artist Rainbow Chan. Directed by Anne Berry, the music video 'Seven Sisters' reimagines this ritual in a 100-year-old walled village, and even features some of the original brides that first learned these ancient songs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/l5BXhYxluTo?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/26798/little-dragon-kenneth-cady-buche-travis-barron 2024-05-06T20:02:20.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/45683568.jpg Little Dragon - 'Kenneth' - short film by Cady Buche, Travis Barron The official music video for "Kenneth" by Little Dragon.

When the time is right, the cork farmers go out to harvest the cork bark from the trunks of the trees with an experienced and careful touch that has been kept alive for generations by fathers with special axes in their hands, passing on the noble craft to their sons. Strong women gather the cork in stacks and dream of a time when they didn’t have to carry it themselves, but were the cork workers’ cooks, surrounded by birdsong and scorched cork trees with nature as their kitchen. Back in the village, the owner of the plantation tries to sell the cork at ancient prices, while at the same time clashing with his daughter. Sofia Bairrão’s film is a sensuous and beautiful meditation on the Portuguese landscape, which produces more cork than anywhere else in the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5tfgcRklh2M?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26802/the-burning-hell-all-i-need-joe-nicolosi 2024-10-11T11:36:09.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/456845.jpg The Burning Hell - 'All I Need' - short film by Joe Nicolosi A music video for The Burning Hell's song 'All I Need' .

First, we meet Viggo Mortensen as a vengeful cowboy in the Wild West, before jumping through time and space to the present-day Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where a female police officer (a brilliant Alaina Clifford) does what she can to help her people among the area’s vulnerable indigenous population. The third instalment is set in the Brazilian rainforest in the 1970s.

Today, their bones and fossils are coveted and sell for staggering sums of money. Paleontologists follow in the footsteps of the dinosaurs to the furthest reaches of the globe to find fossils, through the Mongolian Gobi Desert, across the Sahara and into the American badlands. Here in the barren wastelands, they are in a constant race to find the next great scientific treasure before it falls into the hands of a fortune hunter with dollar signs in his eyes. Because once the bones are found, they are quickly dispatched to the lab, the museum, an exclusive auction house or the black market. Everyone wants a piece of the spectacular beasts. ‘The Bones’ is a thrilling tale of humanity’s desire to unravel the mysteries of the past, exposing the clash between science and hard-headed capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iMTjfzlsr_c?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/26945/transylvanie-rodrigue-huart 2026-08-03T13:15:05.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/02_STILLS_1.jpg Transylvanie - short film by Rodrigue Huart Ewa is a 10-year-old girl living in a high building in a quiet town.

Now the railway tracks have been overrun by plants and weeds, and the trains are deserted and rusty. But this is about to change, as the gigantic ‘Tren Maya’ railway project is underway. The project is controversial, as Yucatán is the cradle of Mayan culture, and the train line is planned to run right through the heart of their territory. ‘The Train and the Peninsula’ is a cinematic journey along the planned train line, stopping along the way to listen to the fascinating reflections of the peninsula’s inhabitants on the environmental and social consequences of the project, and to tell the story of the city of Cancún, which was established in 1978 with the sole purpose of capitalising on its overwhelming beauty to attract tourists, now numbering six million a year. Through archival clips and new footage, the film becomes a kaleidoscopic tour of the vast peninsula, into the wisdom of the Mayans and the ideological and territorial struggles that so-called progress brings with it. https://player.vimeo.com/video/789575007?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27060/as-the-tide-comes-in-fr-stormen-juan-palacios-sofie-husum-johannesen 2024-05-27T20:50:10.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/hhhhhhhhh1.jpg As the Tide Comes In (Før Stormen) - film by Juan Palacios, Sofie Husum Johannesen (trailer) The 27 residents of the Danish Wadden Sea island of Mandø experience the forces of climate change in the form of severe weather and the risk of flooding. Still, they stubbornly cling to their identity as islanders, as they have done for generations. The portrait of this microcosm is accompanied by masterfully crafted shots of the distinctive landscape, shifting skies, and seas that change with the wind.

The few thousand kilometres separating Patagonia from the South Pole has always been a fascinating and hypnotic destination for explorers. French director Luc Jacquet knows all about it. He first visited Antarctica 30 years ago and, in his own words, has been bitten for life by the magical, frozen landscapes and its inhabitants. Blue whales, albatrosses, sea lions – and penguins, of course. In beautiful black and white images, Jacquet takes us on a personal and philosophical journey to a disappearing continent.

The film is a window into these enigmatic centers that some call “pregnancy resource centers” and others call “fake clinics.” Shedding light on how many of these centers are a part of a movement striving to make abortion unthinkable and illegal, the documentary explores the complex role of deception, finances, faith, and privacy. Amid a shifting legal landscape, "Preconceived" underscores the significance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_uQZFxbasq0?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27176/johatsu-into-thin-air-andreas-hartmann-arata-mori 2024-05-27T20:43:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/yyyyyy01.webp Johatsu – Into Thin Air (Johatsu) - film by Andreas Hartmann, Arata Mori (trailer) In Japan, thousands of people disappear voluntarily every year. And there are companies ready to help those who want to disappear without a trace and start a new life somewhere else, whether it’s due to debt, bankruptcy or unfortunate life circumstances. They are called ‘johatsu’ (‘evaporated’), and the film of the same name explores the phenomenon in a sober and unprejudiced way through some of the human destinies it connects. Sugimoto has gone into hiding from debt collectors after a bankruptcy, while Kanda has dropped out to live a nomadic existence as a gambler. Saita is a ‘night mover’ who helps them fulfil their wish, while Goto is a single mother who is trying to find her missing son with the help of a private investigator. They are all connected to each other – even those who no longer want to be. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jdgCMVUvCBs?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27201/the-last-screenwriter-peter-luisi 2024-06-05T09:15:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/The_Last_Screenwriter_Sill_01.jpg The Last Screenwriter - film by Peter Luisi (trailer) Jack, a celebrated screenwriter, finds his world shaken when he encounters a cutting-edge AI scriptwriting system. Initially skeptical, he soon realises the AI not only matches his skills, but even surpasses him in empathy and understanding of human emotions. Torn between his pride and fear of obsolescence, Jack is offered a chance to write a film solely with the AI. https://player.vimeo.com/video/944820687?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27212/little-girl-blue-mona-achache 2024-05-27T20:42:52.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/LITTLE-GIRL-BLUE_PHOTO1.jpg Little Girl Blue - film by Mona Achache (trailer) Marion Cotillard gives a hypnotic performance in a phenomenal docu-hybrid that charts one woman's dramatic life in the cultural bohemian milieu of Paris in the 60s and 70s. A reconstruction of a dark family history and an artist's attempt to understand her mother's tragedy. Acting is the art of transformation, and rarely have you seen a person transform so fundamentally before your eyes as when Marion Cotillard takes on the role of filmmaker Mona Achache’s mother Carole, who took her own life at the age of 63 in 2016. A tragedy that her daughter has dedicated her film to mapping and understanding. She and Cotillard meet in an empty apartment in Paris, where the walls and floors are covered with photographs and letters, as if it were a scene from a detective film – and it almost is. Together, Achache and Cotillard reconstruct moments from her mother’s life in the cultural bohemian milieu of Paris in the 60s and 70s, where at a young age she socialised with literary notables such as Marguerite Duras and Jean Genet – and it was not always as happy as it sounds. The result is unique both as a process and as a work: A brave film that confronts the traumas of the past through the art of cinema. https://www.youtube.com/embed/u-8Olt63SwI?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27225/mud-crab-david-robinson-smith 2024-05-20T19:40:34.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Mud_Crab_JaclynPaterson_01.jpg Mud Crab - short film by David Robinson-Smith Reflecting on her culpability, a woman recounts the traumatising assault she witnessed of a young man in a small Australian coastal town. https://player.vimeo.com/video/942188947?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 720 https://vurchel.com/v/27228/as-you-are-daisy-friedman 2024-05-20T19:41:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/As+You+Are_01.jpeg As You Are - short film by Daisy Friedman When an interabled queer couple spends the night together for the first time, they must confront their complex relationships with desire, sexuality, bodily autonomy, and what it means truly to love another person. https://player.vimeo.com/video/943649086?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 840 https://vurchel.com/v/27232/an-act-of-service-brandon-kapelow 2024-05-27T20:42:16.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2024-05-18_15-02-46.png An Act of Service - short film by Brandon Kapelow After experiencing a series of traumatic events at work, a firefighter in rural America undergoes ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in an attempt to address the symptoms of his PTSD. https://player.vimeo.com/video/943140786?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 1080 https://vurchel.com/v/27236/ghost-of-you-chloe-xtina 2024-05-27T20:34:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Ghost-of-you-Final-Still-70.jpg Ghost of You - short film by Chloe Xtina At the apex of a heatwave and California’s fire season, 16-year-old Mae and her sisters become prey to a hidden camera at their hometown creek.

Marcel Duchamp's urinal became the most influential artwork of the 20th century, but the story of the iconic piece unravels itself in an intelligent and witty film that dares to ask: Did a woman actually come up with the idea? When and how does something become a work of art? A porcelain urinal, for example? Theorists have fiercely debated this in the century that has passed since Marcel Duchamp took an ordinary, mass-produced urinal, signed it under an alias and sent it to an exhibition in Paris. For the first time, the idea itself was the artwork. But who actually came up with the idea in the first place? Rumours have long circulated in the art world that the lesser-known Dadaist artist Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven should be credited with the simple but brilliant concept behind the scandalous ‘Fountain’. Visual artist Barbara Visser delves into the absurd history of the iconic work to find the truth, and the result is an art historical detective film that makes your mind spin like a bicycle wheel mounted on a stool. And of course, her film is itself a readymade, consisting of pre-existing material that Visser has edited together into a lively, unpredictable and well-paced collage film. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1vNW7O0eQGY?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27270/dancing-on-the-edge-of-a-volcano-cyril-aris 2024-05-27T20:35:57.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/dancing-on-the-edge-of-a-volcano_1920x1080.jpg Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano - film by Cyril Aris (trailer) A Lebanese film crew is hit by a deluge of obstacles while shooting the feature film 'Costa Brava, Lebanon'. But team spirit and a solid sense of humour win out in the end in a wonderful film about sticking together against all odds. How much bad news can you get in a day? Quite a lot when you’re a film crew working in Lebanon. After the huge explosion at the Beirut harbour in 2020 that destroyed a large part of the capital, a film crew is faced with a decision: should they continue shooting the feature film ‘Costa Brava, Lebanon’ or give up. With shards of glass crunching under the soles of their shoes, they decide to continue, but then a thousand other plagues begin to descend on the film crew and actors. Pandemics, power and fuel shortages, a currency in free fall. But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and the team continues with a suitcase full of gallows humour and drive, and suddenly the making of the film is as much about resistance and survival as it is about finding meaning in the midst of chaos. ‘Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano’ is an impressive document of resistance and will. It is also a heartbreaking portrait of Lebanon and an existential examination of the medium of film itself. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IEHXvEj7a7g?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27276/youth-spring-jeunesse-printemps-wang-bing 2024-05-27T20:38:52.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/jeunesse.jpg Youth (spring) (Jeunesse (printemps)) - film by Wang Bing (trailer) Wang Bing’s work will stand as a witness not only to China’s modern history, but as an invaluable contribution to the development of modern documentary. His grand new film was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes last year and is set in Zhili in northern China, home to the country’s huge textile industry. An industry that employs over 300,000 people across a huge complex of small sewing centres. The work is manual, but the pace is mechanical – and the chemistry between the young employees is a chapter in itself, and fortunately they take center stage here. They flirt, argue, fight and dream of a future outside the endless, run-down factory complexes. The human tragicomedy is a myriad of small stories according to China’s greatest documentary filmmaker, who himself goes to work from morning to evening with his camera and spends several years on each of his films. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ozSQSIWJAfQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27282/menus-plaisirs-les-troisgros-frederick-wiseman 2024-05-27T20:38:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2000H-menus-plaisirscourtesy-of-zipporah-films-inc-.jpg Menus plaisirs – Les Troisgros - film by Frederick Wiseman (trailer) World-class cooking at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the French countryside, depicted in all its rich detail by legendary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. Lively, humorous and human - and with an eye for the tinist details. At the length of a sumptuous 13-course meal, legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman looks at life at the equally legendary French restaurant La Maison Troisgros, run by the same family for four generations and holding three Michelin stars for over 50 years. It is nothing short of a pleasure to witness the creation of seasonal menus in all their rich detail, and to follow the perfectionist chefs as they work to refine and develop new dishes. But it would not be a Wiseman film if it was not first and foremost a film about people. At 93 years old, Wiseman has an unrivalled eye for detail and has created a lively, funny and very talkative film about people driven by passion and professional pride. Hw do you make the perfect cheese? And what kind of grass do cows need to munch on to produce the perfect milk? The entire biological ecosystem is given love and attention in a beautiful and generous film that appropriately ends with the line: ‘Everything is beautiful’. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vNsTyFX-1o8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27285/dance-first-james-marsh 2024-05-27T20:37:44.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/TELEMMGLPICT000355260314_16989240728020_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqA7N2CxnJWnYI3tCbVBgu9T0aesusvN1TE7a0ddd_esI.jpeg Dance First - film by James Marsh (trailer) 2LE’s first feature film, Dance First is the first ever biopic of Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, written by Neil Forsyth (Guilt, The Gold), directed by James Marsh (The Theory Of Everything, Man On Wire) and starring Gabriel Byrne and Fionn O’Shea as Samuel Beckett. Beckett lived a life of many parts: Parisian bon vivant, World War II Resistance fighter, Nobel Prize-winning playwright, philandering husband and recluse. But despite all the adulation that came his way he was a man acutely aware of his own failings. In 1969, having been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, an embarrassed Beckett simply wanted to be rid of it. This film revolves around this turning point, the internal debate raging within Beckett as to which of the people in his life most deserve to be the beneficiaries of his shame. https://www.youtube.com/embed/U_Yk3zSBG68?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27296/while-the-green-grass-grows-peter-mettler 2026-04-22T13:09:48.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/3417530.webp While the Green Grass Grows - film by Peter Mettler (trailer) A beautiful and enriching experience from one of the most original voices in documentary filmmaking, who has made his most personal film to date without lowering the philosophical altitude. Peter Mettler has made films about phenomena as diverse as the Northern Lights, other life forms, religious ecstasy and the mystery of time. The visionary film poet has a unique ability to make the most abstract things both understandable and relevant without losing the aura of mystery that attracted his insatiable curiosity in the first place. This time around, he has made his most personal film to date, but that doesn’t mean the philosophical altitude has been lowered – quite the contrary. Here, Mettler has turned his ever-spinning camera on (among others) his own parents in the autumn of their lives. A loving and sincere gesture, carried out with the enormous trust in others and with the radically open mind that has always been at the centre of his life’s work. Mettler is a searching soul, and here it is the basic conditions of existence itself that are the object of his quest. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7E7FY0-bnhA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27310/stephen-melanie-manchot 2024-05-27T20:44:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/stephen_casting_videostill_3-1000x552.jpg Stephen - film by Melanie Manchot (trailer) Stephen Giddings is in his late 20s. He lives in Liverpool, is a recovering drug addict and an actor. He is given an emotionally demanding challenge: to ‘become’ the fictional character of an obsessed gambler in a crime thriller inspired by the 1901 film ‘Arrest of Goudie’, recognized as the first reconstruction of a real-life crime story filmed on the actual locations in the city. ‘Stephen’ is a participatory work created in close collaboration with Stephen and the other participants, both professionals and amateurs. But even though it is a multi-layered hybrid film, something very real is at stake for everyone involved – not least Stephen himself, who grew up in a violent environment of abuse that he is now struggling to escape. Director Melanie Manchot is a visual artist who has previously worked with reconstructions and performance in other media. Her first feature film brings these experiences together in a cohesive, meaningful and thought-provoking form. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wuEPTM_-iFk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27314/they-shot-the-piano-player-fernando-trueba-javier-mariscal 2025-01-29T16:13:23.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1-they-shot-the-piano-player-c-les-films-d-ici-64d111d58e317-2000-65ba60377783a359460683.jpg They Shot The Piano Player - film by Fernando Trueba, Javier Mariscal (trailer) Jeff Harris, a music journalist from New York, travels to Brazil to research his next book on bossa nova. As soon as he arrives in Rio, Jeff (whose voice is delivered by Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum) encounters the myth of Francisco Tenório Junior, an enigmatic pianist considered one of Brazil’s leading jazz musicians who mysteriously disappeared while on tour in Buenos Aires in 1976, the year of the military coup in Argentina. Travelling around Brazil to visit some of the country’s most influential musicians, Jeff becomes fascinated by Tenório, whose story he uncovers through the memories of the people he interviews. Jeff’s eagerness to solve the mystery of Tenório’s disappearance becomes irresistible. He abandons the original focus of the book and begins to delve into the dark period when military regimes took power in many Latin American countries with the support of the CIA. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sllmjWuqHpE?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27326/hardly-working-leonhard-muellner-and-3-others 2024-05-28T09:26:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/hardly-working-uplifting-momet-1920x-q80.jpg Hardly Working - short film by Leonhard Müllner, Robin Klengel, Susanna Flock, Michael Stumpf An ethnographic exploration of the work and daily life of non-player characters, the digital extras in video games.

Through a combination of vérité footage, candid interviews, and powerful archival film, Bruckman expertly weaves together the multifaceted story of this groundbreaking phenomenon. The film introduces us to a rich tapestry of artists who have found incredible success in this new landscape, such as Beeple, the creator of the record-breaking $69 million artwork, to emerging artists from the U.S., Latin America, and Africa, whose lives are forever changed by this technology.

The sour lambic beer that is experiencing a big comeback. Join us on a trip to the Flemish Pajottenland region and learn more about the process, tradition and the drama behind scenes. Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Jerry Franck explores the small Belgian community of lambic beer, where brewers and blenders of different generations wrestle with tradition and the increased demand for their rare beers. “Making a movie about beer was so much fun and seemed so easy at first, but I don't think I was prepared for everything that came with it. There were times when I felt like I was making four different movies at the same time and yet I was two steps behind on each of the storylines.” https://player.vimeo.com/video/653866564?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27390/rachel-ramsay-james-erskine 2024-05-31T15:15:38.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Copa71.jpg Copa 71 - film by Rachel Ramsay, James Erskine (trailer) In the summer of 1971, the world’s best national teams meet for the World Cup in Mexico. The tournament is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, and it’s possible you’ve never heard of it. Why? The players on the pitch were women, and both FIFA and the national football associations rejected the idea. As a result, the unofficial Women’s World Cup was written out of history and has remained out there until now. Through colourful archive clips that no one has seen for half a century and new interviews with the players themselves, ‘Copa 71’ fills in the gaps in the collective amnesia. National team players recount the surreal days in Latin America when women’s football took the world stage and filled the newspapers, TV screens and radio airwaves. Danish national team legends Birthe Kjems and Ann Stengaard look back on the tournament and the final, where 112,000 spectators sat in the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City to watch them play against the host nation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YJ6SQ0j4ldM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27395/the-buriti-flower-renee-nader-messora-joaeo-salaviza 2024-05-31T15:18:16.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/I65AYSAT2BBDRFZUTVFJBVCTFA.jpg The Buriti Flower (A Flor do Buriti) - film by Renée Nader Messora, João Salaviza (trailer) Right in the centre of Brazil’s geographical heartland is Kraolândia Indigenous Land, a home to the indigenous Krahô tribal people and has been for hundreds of years. But like all indigenous peoples, the Krahô are under pressure from the outside world and must fight to avoid being swallowed up by globalisation. Through the eyes of her daughter, Patpro Krahô goes through three periods of indigenous history. From rituals and love of nature, through a traumatic massacre, to today, where rare animals are stolen from the territory, traditional ceremonies are performed wearing shorts and trousers, and her daughter suddenly wants to sleep on a mattress. Past collides with present, and the chaos of the outside world influences the memories, stories and perspectives of the Krahô people to such an extent that Patpro must travel to the capital Brasilia to attend a major conference on the country’s indigenous people and continue the resistance and struggle for her people’s freedom. ‘The Buriti Flower’ is a patient hybrid portrait of the Krahô people, wrapped in sumptuously beautiful images from the deep, humid, colourful, dark beauty that is the Brazilian forests. https://www.youtube.com/embed/knRjRQg4RvQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27400/sami-saif 2024-05-31T15:21:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/1484713-1-scaled.jpeg The Nature of Grief (Om sorg) - film by Sami Saif (trailer) It’s been 30 years since award-winning film director Sami Saif lost his older brother. He believes the grief that followed the loss of his brother has had a positive effect on his life. Now he has decided to delve into the suffering of grief to understand if it has a deeper meaning or if it is just another pain that humans have to deal with. He joins a group of grief researchers, led by bestselling author and psychologist Svend Brinkmann, who are travelling the country to investigate the phenomenon of grief and understand its culture. Through interviews, conversations and careful observation, we meet people who have lost loved ones. But we also learn about topics such as the history of grief, the diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder and the role of capitalism in the grieving process. ‘The Nature of Grief’ is never just a film about grieving and loss. It is just as much a celebration of our common bond and the life that goes on. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pdax1RpYilQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27416/a-disturbance-in-the-force-steve-kozak-jeremy-coon 2024-05-31T15:55:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/pPVF3MjemzrHUAmVSfiQQhokO53_1.jpg A Disturbance in the Force - film by Steve Kozak, Jeremy Coon (trailer) A wildly entertaining deep dive into the Star Wars film everone tried to forget, but which refused to die and has grown to become the ultimate cult favourite: The Star Wars Holiday Special. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wzeQK6o8_RY?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27418/carlos-rudy-valdez 2024-05-31T15:31:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/images_(1)_2.jpg Carlos - film by Rudy Valdez (trailer) From a 5-year-old violinist in his native Mexico to a ten-time Grammy-winning master of the guitar, Santana has spent a lifetime consolidating his status as an icon, matched only by a handful of his peers in the music industry.

In ‘Carlos’, director Rudy Valdez chronicles the life of Carlos Santana, interweaving brand new and candid interviews with the protagonist and his family with newly discovered archival footage and a legendary, electrifying concert performance at the age of 22 at Woodstock. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eByez1IbS7c?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27424/a-century-in-sound-nicholas-dwyer-tu-neill 2024-05-31T15:38:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/A_Century_in_Sound1.jpg A Century in Sound - film by Nicholas Dwyer, Tu Neill (trailer) Japan has a unique tradition of specialised listening cafés. Cafés where you can come in, sit down and completely surrender to a certain type of music while drinking a cup of coffee, reading the newspaper or staring into space. The listening cafes, or Onagku Kissa, the local term for music cafes, are a cultural meeting place where locals have been coming for decades to reminisce and reverently listen to music they love. With a Japanese sense of specific and well-executed craftsmanship and immense dedication, it is of course the sound that is the meticulous focus of the various cafes. One place has dropped food service because cutlery on plates could potentially be too noisy, while others have spent years honing sound systems and turntables to optimise the sound as absolutely as possible. In three marvellous, well-composed episodes, ‘A Century of Sound’ focuses on three cafés that play jazz, Japanese rock and city-pop, and classical music respectively. The owners, their stories and cats are introduced. What all three cafés have in common is that they offer a meditative break from the endless chaos of Tokyo – and the rest of the world. A stylish time capsule of memories and the past amidst the hustle and bustle. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6_6ihoiL2vQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27429/hood-witch-roqya-said-belktibia 2024-05-31T15:35:01.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2024-05-29_22-30-21.png Hood Witch (Roqya) - film by Saïd Belktibia (trailer) Nour makes a living from smuggling exotic animals and illicit products (birds of prey, venom, rare roots, etc.).

That’s all the three musicians have planned when they land in the capital Skopje and start handing out flyers to recruit members for their new band. Led by their hyper-energetic friend and guide, Grga, they are dragged out of the capital, into the countryside, up into the mountains and all the way to the political top in their search for allies and the country’s distinctive folk music culture. With his keen eye for drama and detail, director Andreas Johnsen (‘Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case’, ‘Kidd Life’, ‘Bugs’ and more) has created a delightful tour of the Balkan country’s musical culture and a dive into the alternative creative process of one of Denmark’s most adventurous bands, where you won’t be looked down upon if you suddenly, in the middle of a rehearsal, pull out your homemade bagpipes made from the stomach of a goat. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jXk8zjjuVu8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27446/core-memory-patricia-drati 2024-06-01T12:42:50.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/27448/you-are-closer-to-god-when-you-do-not-indulge-tore-hallas 2024-06-07T09:21:35.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/27450/my-next-door-neighbours-maia-torp-neergaard 2024-06-07T09:24:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/27452/final-marlene-lyngstad 2024-06-01T12:19:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/27457/holadirio-mariel-sosa 2024-06-06T14:52:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2024-06-03_20-36-21.png Holadirio - short film by Mariel Sosa Influenced by the Magical Realism Movement and set in an Austrian-colony, the lives of four individuals collide after a terrible accident.

One in Tokyo, the other in California. The image of the two observatories linked by historical coincidence is the starting point for David Blandy’s poetic archive film about light, time, forest fires and quantum physics. Sunspots were important astronomical phenomena during the war because they could interfere with army radio signals, so the observatories were sharply focussed on the light in the sky. At the same time, an equally powerful light was switched on here on Earth, and the world has never been the same since. https://player.vimeo.com/video/903079385?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27633/the-cloud-people-le-peuple-des-nuages-iulian-furtuna-marius-lena 2024-06-09T09:07:01.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2024-06-07_14-03-50.png The Cloud People (Le peuple des nuages) - film by Iulian Furtuna, Marius Lena (trailer) With humour, poetry and an infectious love of science, they look to the white population of the sky for answers to climate change, life’s big questions and why some clouds actually stand still. https://www.youtube.com/embed/X_NB8AKpJX8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/27637/whatever-it-takes-jenny-carchman 2024-12-19T08:49:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/27647/star-trek-discovery-final-season-premiere-alex-kurtzman-michelle-paradise-olatunde-osunsanmi 2024-08-14T07:21:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/3572422.png Star Trek: Discovery - film by Alex Kurtzman, Michelle Paradise, Olatunde Osunsanmi (trailer) The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S.

Paolo Iashvili, a famous poet, wrote passionate poems under the name Elene Dariani. These poems caused a scandal, with people wondering who the real author was. A young woman named Elene writes a love letter and heads to deliver it, facing ridicule from everyone on the street. The mockery peaks when she sees a crude drawing of herself with Paolo on a wall. With the rise of the Soviet regime, Elene is forced to hide her feelings forever. Who was Elene Dariani a creation of Paolo Iashvili, or a real woman in his shadow? This mystery still sparks debate in Georgia today. https://player.vimeo.com/video/922849237?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/29147/when-it-comes-it-will-have-your-eyes-etorriko-da-eta-zure-begiak-izango-ditu-izibene-onederra-aramendi 2024-07-29T15:30:54.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/29150/exorcism-chronicles-the-beginning-dong-chul-kim 2024-07-29T15:31:52.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/29153/un-air-de-glissant-les-yeux-la-voix-olivier-patte 2024-07-29T15:33:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/20243267.webp Un air de Glissant "Les yeux la voix" - short film by Olivier Patté (trailer) A project by Gilles Elie-Dit-Cosaque, this series of 10 short animation films is based on poetic texts by Edouard Glissant, directed by 10 different directors. https://player.vimeo.com/video/833633860?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/29154/grain-cloud-atmosphere-martin-moolhuijsen 2024-07-29T15:33:42.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/small_Martin-Moolhuijsen_grain-cloud-atmosphere_2022-2023-1024x688.jpg Grain Cloud Atmosphere - short film by Martin Moolhuijsen (PyR Festival 2023 / Martin Moolhuijsen o… Many grains make a cloud.

In 2023, Edgar Reitz, now world-famous as the director of the film epic Heimat, is approached by an elderly woman who identifies herself as one of his pupils from 1968. The two arrange a class reunion. Compiled from a documentary made about the project at the time, the Super 8 films shot by the pupils and the filmed reunion in 2023, a kind of long exposure of the last 55 years of film history is created. Are the personalities of the pupils already evident in the exercise films? And what do the women have to say now about contemporary film culture?

She became a literary sensation, writing for The New Yorker, delivering provocative interviews, and authoring screenplays. Her success enraged her writer husband and made her a pariah in her native Ireland, where her books were banned and burned. She would make her home in London, where she conducted numerous love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune. In July 2024, Edna passed away and this film provides a final testimony from her, aged 93, as she reflects upon her extraordinary life for filmmaker Sinéad O'Shea's camera. Granting the director access to her personal journals - read aloud in the film by the Oscar-nominated Irish actress Jessie Buckley - and with additional perspectives offered from Gabriel Byrne, Walter Mosley and an array of renowned writers, Edna does not shy from any subject. Blue Road is as candid, dark, and enchanting as O'Brien's wonderful novels. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bEErqpfb3HM?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/30944/emilia-perez-jacques-audiard 2024-12-19T17:50:26.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJmZGMtc2l0ZXB1YmxpYy1tZWRpYS1wcm9kIiwia2V5IjoidXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDVcLzE3MDI5My1zY2FsZWQuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDI4LCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9fX0_.webp Emilia Pérez - film by Jacques Audiard (trailer) Mexico, today.

The problem and the challenges mould the designer to change himself/herself to attach to the problem to come up with a solution that’s intrinsic within the problem. This struggle makes the designer very much part of the ecosystem and sometimes the problem moulds the designer and then designer moulds it further and then they come with an integrated solution which is what the Versus logo would become eventually. It is a choreographed action-reaction duel which magnifies and eventually settle down to coexist. https://player.vimeo.com/video/967773813?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 60 https://vurchel.com/v/31861/downfall-melanie-francesconi-bruscain-and-6-others 2024-10-31T13:36:48.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/31867/ryan-leung 2024-11-05T10:06:51.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/hugscene_final.jpg See you soon!

Because their convictions led them to the mountains, far removed from attempts at conquest or sporting feats. Their true stories bear witness to singular ascents, but above all to a long journey towards their intimate quests, and ask a universal question: "What is our mountain? https://player.vimeo.com/video/924150608?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/32083/anangong-miigaading-star-wars-a-new-hope-george-lucas 2024-11-12T09:54:55.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2024-11-12_в_12.14.59.png Anangong Miigaading (Star Wars: A New Hope) - film by George Lucas (trailer) Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) version of Star Wars: A New Hope.

On the eve of February 4, 1982, in the middle of the night there was a loud boom as a whale collided with Steven's boat. Within minutes, his small craft was flooded with a rush of water. He grabbed what he could, heaved his life raft into the ocean, and snatched his emergency kit. Without food or water, for an incredible 76 days the inflatable raft was his home as he drifted across the entire Atlantic Ocean. Forced to come to terms with his own shortcomings and limitations, Steven finds a strength he never knew he had. This official documentary, executive produced by Callahan, brings the story to life with found 8MM footage, original stills of the time of the voyage, and first-person recreation. Still possessing many of the original artifacts, he takes us step-by-step through his harrowing and life-altering adventure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_a79PTPm0VA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/32412/big-moves-sarah-grant 2024-11-17T21:14:45.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2024-11-17_00-27-07.png Big Moves (Big Moves) - short film by Sarah Grant (trailer) A personal film about dancing as a plus size woman through the lens of pop culture.

The political activism of this generation came to a head in June 1987 with major protests that forced the authoritarian government to hold universal suffrage elections and implement key democratic reforms. Over 35 years later, the filmmaker reflects on the state of this democracy through a warm-hearted family portrait set against the backdrop of the country’s recent history. Using a personal and intimate cinematic style, Arum examines her father's adherence to conventionality as a high-ranking civil servant and her mother's fervent enthusiasm as a feminist activist. In the midst of these two contrasting dynamics, Arum seeks to discover her own role and how she can contribute to social change. https://player.vimeo.com/video/920551211?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/33127/milk-miranda-stern 2026-02-12T09:37:41.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/images_(10)_2.jpeg Milk - short film by Miranda Stern (trailer) One filmmaker sets out on a journey to discover the mother she never knew.

Bizarrely, however, a legal loophole allowed broadcasters to circumvent the ban by simply employing actors to re-voice the original sequences. Using unseen archive footage and present-day interviews with key figures such as Gerry Adams and Stephen Rea, The Ban reflects on the British government’s use of the threat of ‘terrorism’ to justify censorship, drawing inevitable comparisons with the present. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MhS4ImoHO4g?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/33313/the-building-and-burning-of-a-refugee-camp-dennis-harvey 2026-01-26T10:27:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Sami_Credit_Dennis_Harvey.jpg The Building and Burning of a Refugee Camp - short film by Dennis Harvey (trailer) Three men seeking asylum in Ireland find themselves on the streets, caught between restrictive migration policies and an increasingly aggressive far-right movement.

It's a space apart, where those who have disappeared can still tell their stories, and hear the living looking for them. In Mexico, since the launch of the "war against drug trafficking" in 2006, the number of missing persons is estimated at over 112,000. Their families are organizing themselves to try to find them, dead or alive. Over time, these families have developed expertise in gathering information, reading soils and landscapes, archaeological excavation techniques, identifying bones, as well as in leading a militant struggle. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1005613518?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/33323/paci-juliette-roudet 2024-12-01T19:31:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/33325/a-want-in-her-myrid-carten 2024-12-01T19:31:56.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/33329/eleonora-camizzi-kezia-zurbruegg 2024-12-01T19:32:22.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/860_26.webp Pictures in Mind (Bilder im Kopf) - film by Eleonora Camizzi (trailer) A father and daughter meet in a white room.

The stories of Chris Hedges, the former war correspondent of The New York Times, and Riccardo Privitera, a former arms & equipment dealer of Talisman Europe Ltd (now dissolved), provide an unusual and disturbing context for shocking revelations about the industry of war.

One has dedicated his life to unmasking lies and the other has built his life on lies. Both their personal and political histories gradually reveal the depths of suffering and duplicity, situating the arms trade as a symptom of a profound illness: greed. https://player.vimeo.com/video/190754808?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 2880 https://vurchel.com/v/33419/she-dances-by-the-sea-jian-fan-isabella-zang 2024-12-03T09:21:44.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/MV5BODYxOTkwMmUtNmI3ZC00NmUyLWFhY2ItNjkzMjY5NjgzMzdkXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_QL75_UX820__.jpg She Dances by the Sea - film by Jian Fan, Isabella Zang (trailer) Chinese poet Xiuhua Yu, who has cerebral palsy, became instantly famous when her poems went viral on social media.

He captures the landscape mainly in nocturnal shots—many of which are so unsteady that all we see are nightmarish stripes—and describes the places where he stops and rests.

Some 500 years later, Michael Hardt, political philosopher and co-author of Empire, Multitude and Commonwealth, asks what it would mean to base a political system on love, rather than on fear. How can we transform a society that is increasingly defined by a permanent state of war and cultivated by an industry of fear. How can we realize the paradigm shift necessary to move away from a reality that depends on the exploitation of people and the cult of privatisation of public resources. Hardt looks for an answer in what he calls 'the commons’, by which he refers not only to natural resources, but also to the languages we create- and the relationships we conceive together. In the dystopian city-state Alphaville, of Godard's eponymous film, all words and concepts relating to the idea of love and affection have been banned. When actress Anna Karina tries to express her feelings, she has to reinvent the words, for the concept of love is foreign to her. Like to the protagonist in Alphaville, Hardt suggests that we need to redefine the tools with which we act together politically. Hardt embarks on a journey to identify the transformative powers of the ongoing struggle to re-invent democracy. Within this struggle he understands 'the commons' as an antidote against a society run by fear; an inspiration for a paradigm that is based on dialogue and cooperation. https://player.vimeo.com/video/156686093?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 900 https://vurchel.com/v/33593/shadow-world-johan-grimonprez 2024-12-05T21:28:38.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/33594/two-travellers-to-a-river-johan-grimonprez 2024-12-05T21:29:10.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/33597/the-invasion-linvasion-sergei-loznitsa 2026-04-25T11:51:23.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/F_1_The_Invasion_87f0e2f2a9_big_16_9.jpg The Invasion (L'invasion) - film by Sergei Loznitsa (trailer) 10 years after the release of his epic film “Maidan”, Sergei Loznitsa resumes his Ukrainian chronicles by documenting the country’s struggle against the Russian invasion.

But the frame of reference steadily broadens. Adjacent realities of 1965 are juxtaposed—the New York World’s Fair, the Watts riots filtering through from the East Coast on television. A cast of thousands summoned up—each separate sphere, each face and place given equal weight, each instant a center. Within these domains ghostly uncorporeal presences circulate, their words audible—figures of vanished youth still inhabiting these locations whose gritty photographic textures confirm their reality.

She places a box of water on a wall outside her home, an act of kindness that becomes a lifeline for thirsty sparrows. Over time, more birds arrive, finding solace in the small oasis she has created. Through this simple yet poignant act, the story delves into the broader struggle of speechless birds and animals to survive in a world increasingly dominated by human activities and globalization. Their habitats are shrinking, their resources are dwindling, and extinction looms closer with every passing day. The plot explores the interconnectedness of all life, shedding light on humanity's role in causing this crisis while offering a message of hope: small, compassionate actions can make a significant difference.

Over a black screen, they paint a picture of the man as hunter and the woman as willing prey who must give her all to arouse and maintain his sexual interest. The competition, lurking like vultures, must be ruthlessly eradicated, and even in your own home you shouldn’t think of wandering around in an old housecoat and slippers. We then see just how harsh the dictates of beauty can be: close-up sequences document beauty treatments that would earn medals in wartime. No area of the female body is allowed to go unnoticed. You have to suffer to be beautiful, the cliché goes. La Bonita reveals just how much suffering that entails. https://player.vimeo.com/video/278536551?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/33849/moore-for-sale-keith-wilson 2024-12-19T19:48:43.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/33854/the-shepherd-and-the-bear-le-berger-et-lours-max-keegan 2024-12-19T19:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/33857/and-weve-got-flavor-y..-tenemos-sabor-sara-gomez 2024-12-19T19:49:41.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/2500_19.jpeg And We’ve Got Flavor (Y... tenemos sabor) - short film by Sara Gómez Sophisticated musical instruments are all well and good, but four pieces of wood and four pieces of metal provide everything you need to play a rumba, explains the esteemed singer and songwriter Alberto Zayas towards the end of his journey into Cuban musical history.

A transparent acrylic frame's different ratio metaphor materialized screens while also representing different screen ratios that vary with time and use. After printing pictures of the film, photographs, and animation by pioneer Eadweard Muybridge on transparent film, it is stop motioned by inserting it into an acrylic frame, and it crosses still image, moving image, 2D and 3D, films and sculptures. It ignites the cinematic imagination and obscures the boundaries of the media. Thus, this animation asks the audience the question, 'What is a film, an animation, a picture, and a screen?' https://www.youtube.com/embed/N1WMjylBjhI?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/34062/dun-feu-secret-amanda-bonaiuto 2025-02-14T10:34:17.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/dun-feu-secret_mus00790_image3-1920x1080.webp D’un Feu Secret - short film by Amanda Bonaiuto Music video for Cécile McLorin Salvant.

He was caught in the Middle East by WW1. The Austrian government at that time wanted to turn him into a spy, which is why he is known today as the „Moravian Lawrence of Arabia“. The printed sheets of Musil‘s travelogues inspired the director and artist Jan Cechl to create traditional, semi-plastic puppets that experience dangerous adventures in the fairy-tale Orient, full of fiery genie and Bedouin wisdom. As a Sheikh Músa ar Ruelli, the Moravian priest becomes a wild nomad of the desert, and during a dangerous expedition he discovers the lost Amra Castle, which makes him famous throughout the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cn6P2NLiru8?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/35936/after-hours-melanie-schnaidt-cristina-narata 2025-02-03T20:39:47.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/35937/bosco-and-the-genie-aidan-hickey 2025-02-03T20:40:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/35939/transcience-sylwia-zolkiewska 2025-02-03T20:41:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/35948/carapath-aurelien-mornet 2025-02-03T21:27:39.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-02-03_в_22.30.24.png Carapath - short film by Aurelien Mornet In Carapath, we will be telling the story of Bernie the Hermit Crab.

It’s sometimes angry, but is always seen as a tease that can not cause harm. https://player.vimeo.com/video/834855772?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 180 https://vurchel.com/v/36027/making-patterns-move-ian-helliwell 2025-02-11T21:47:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-02-04_в_20.22.44.png Making Patterns Move - short film by Ian Helliwell (trailer) Short animated film https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_5bj8P7otA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/36029/motus-nelson-fernandes 2025-02-11T21:48:13.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-02-04_в_20.31.09.png Motus - short film by Nelson Fernandes (trailer) Motus: a body in motion.

The project was born from a dedication to the song of the same name "Fiore Mio" by Andrea Laszlo De Simone. The music video is a mix of traditional animation and footage, made by printing all frames by hand through the cyanotype technique. Thus, cyanotype becomes a tool that conveys the message, because it is a technique made of voids, of solids, which prints the present time of its creation in an imperfect way, linked to sunlight. https://player.vimeo.com/video/868921100?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/36060/marcus-vinicius-vasconcelos-alois-di-leo 2025-12-03T13:34:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/LULINA05-scaled.jpg Lulina and the Moon (Lulina e a lua) - short film by Marcus Vinicius Vasconcelos, Alois Di Leo (tra… Lulina draws her greatest fears on the infinite white ground of the Moon.

Yoshisuke Ueda discovers deterministic chaos through his computing systems while the Cold War is at its peak. It's a ground-breaking interaction between man and machine, an interaction that fascinates Dutch researcher and artist Joost Rekveld, who has dedicated his life and work to uncover what humans can learn from dialogues with machines - machines that mankind has constructed. In a form of media archeology, Rekveld investigates material engagement with devices from forgotten corners in the history of science and technology.

Inspired by Oskar Fischinger's 1920s wax experiments, the film is the outcome of the director's explorations during his postgraduate studies. The film's name is derived from the creative process of shaping solid sculptures out of liquid wax, only to be systematically broken down and reanimated again. The resulting highly magnified "macro animations" are complemented by a tactile soundscape highlighting the materials' intricate details, textures, and movements. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YKOg51S7UiQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37038/rita-francesca-colombara 2025-07-01T18:50:52.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/maxresdefault_89.jpg Rita - short film by Francesca Colombara (trailer) Rita was my grandmother, a big snail who got around with a walker. She passed away in 2024, and this short film tells the story of our bond. Rita lived a full life, surrounded by many people who loved her, and she had a passion for cooking mussels. Her passing revealed the depth of the bond we shared, one I had sometimes taken for granted. This short film is about Rita, but it is also a way to confront the theme of death, to look it in the eye and overcome the fear it brings. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1028508061?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37040/sabana-y-banano-eda-diaz-sabana-y-banano-juliette-laboria 2026-05-06T11:07:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/maxresdefault_(1)_28.jpg Sabana y banano (Ëda Diaz - Sabana y banano) - short film by Juliette Laboria A woman is sound asleep, when ...

Forced to suppress her voice, she refuses to give up, even as many try to silence her. But when she is thrust into her subconscious, the very monsters she created come to life. Guided by Herneval, a tormented prince trapped between dreams and nightmares, she must restore balance between fiction and reality before both realms collapse.

The surviving fragments of her poems reveal a connection with nature that inspires the aesthetics of the film: the characters are painted with natural inks, and the settings consist of stop-motion animation of plants and leaves collected in the park, and light, shot on a multiplane table. The narrative, in rhyming animated images, alludes to Sappho’s poetic expressions and the multiple readings of her figure throughout history. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vJWBP0eMx4w?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37484/sesame-sesame-alix-de-clerck-alice-diop 2025-10-05T09:32:00.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-05_в_11.50.55.png Sesame (Sésâme) - short film by Alix de Clerck, Alice Diop Death isn't the end— there's still time to mourn, even for yourself.

Facing intrusive thoughts and external pressures, the boys must confront fear and shame to rediscover a sense of belonging. Through lyrical storytelling and striking visuals, TBBIP is a celebration of queer love, vulnerability, and the power of embracing who you are. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JmdfwErnd7A?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37553/two-point-five-stars-sina-lerf-dario-boger-dario-marti 2025-12-12T09:40:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-05_в_23.49.10.png Two Point Five Stars - short film by Sina Lerf, Dario Boger, Dario Marti (trailer) Robin sits at the reception desk of a hostel, as she does every day.

True to Koberidze’s (What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?) style, this is less a thriller than it is a contemplative pilgrimage, each scene illuminated by poetic encounters. Shot entirely on a Sony Ericsson mobile phone, the film’s hazy images evoke memories of another time – a tender homage to fate and serendipity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YHCMQ2ynrAI?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37816/duse-pietro-marcello 2026-06-01T19:36:56.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-10_в_18.02.02.png Duse - film by Pietro Marcello (trailer) After retiring from her legendary stage career, actress Eleonora Duse feels an irresistible call to return to the theater during Italy's turbulent period between WWI and the rise of fascism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/atWVdDj5DLc?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37819/dust-to-dreams-idris-elba 2025-10-13T21:09:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-10_в_18.08.22.png Dust to Dreams - short film by Idris Elba (trailer) Set in Lagos, where a dying nightclub owner entrusts her legacy to her shy daughter, a long-lost father ignites family drama, and music becomes their redemption. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xcDNcS05wAo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/37822/elephant-families-elena-escalante 2026-04-20T10:40:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/37825/end-of-play-edem-wornoo 2025-10-13T21:09:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/37829/enzo-robin-campillo-laurent-cantet 2026-07-20T16:11:37.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-10_в_20.47.01.png Enzo - film by Robin Campillo, Laurent Cantet (trailer) Enzo, 16, defies his bourgeois family’s expectations by starting a masonry apprenticeship, a path far removed from the prestigious life they had envisioned for him.

Roofman is exhilarating entertainment and features a career-best performance from Tatum. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9dWEcOQcU8s?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38110/rose-of-nevada-mark-jenkin 2026-08-13T21:23:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38112/saipan-lisa-barros-dsa 2026-06-19T16:40:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-13_в_11.36.01.png Saipan - film by Lisa Barros D’Sa (trailer) Lacklustre preparations for the Republic of Ireland’s 2002 World Cup campaign, plus the presence of stolid English-born coach McCarthy, send captain Keane ballistic, leading to what might be football’s most infamous clash and subsequent media frenzy. Another uncanny Coogan real-life portrayal, and Éanna Hardwicke nailing Keane’s self-righteous fury, anchor this fast-paced, funny and perfectly balanced head-to-head, which dares you to pick a side. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IwrczszDCSk?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38116/sentimental-value-affeksjonsverdi-joachim-trier 2026-08-14T13:46:16.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-13_в_11.44.19.png Sentimental Value (Affeksjonsverdi) - film by Joachim Trier (trailer) Two adult sisters navigate their emotional wounds and futures when their absentee father returns following the death of their mother.

Reflecting on power, memory and speculative research, the film becomes an urgent ritual of remembrance and artistic resistance, and an invitation to reimagine history by speaking with voices long silenced. The result is a powerful invocation that collapses time, bridging the living and the dead. https://www.youtube.com/embed/83456BlwLtg?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38249/the-presidents-cake-mamlaket-al-qasab-hasan-hadi 2026-07-10T12:37:49.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-14_в_11.22.07.png The President’s Cake (Mamlaket al-qasab) - film by Hasan Hadi (trailer) Though considered a great honour, nine-year-old Lamia’s task feels impossible, as she and her grandmother Bibi already struggle to get by. But armed with a shopping list and her pet rooster, Lamia remains determined as she sets off to find ingredients. A child’s eye view of a dictatorship, The President’s Cake skilfully navigates between the comic and the tragic. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rYWdP4Um6MQ?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38251/the-secret-agent-o-agente-secreto-kleber-mendonca-filho 2026-01-16T11:31:57.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-14_в_11.27.00.png The Secret Agent (O Agente Secreto) - film by Kleber Mendonça Filho (trailer) It’s carnival week in 1977 and Marcelo, a widower on the run, arrives in Recife hoping to reunite with his son. He finds refuge in a resistance commune run by an impossibly charismatic 70-year-old woman, but soon chaos catches up with him. Unafraid of playful genre-bending detours and expertly directed by Filho (Bacurau, Aquarius), this sweaty, sun-drenched and masterfully acted ride is always grounded in love – for Brazil and for cinema. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0nNAVGX8n7w?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38254/the-son-and-the-sea-stroma-cairns 2026-06-07T09:22:08.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38256/the-songbirds-secret-le-secret-des-mesanges-antoine-lanciaux 2026-06-03T15:23:26.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-14_в_11.41.00.png The Songbird’s Secret (Le Secret des Mésanges) - film by Antoine Lanciaux (trailer) Lucie is holidaying in her mother’s hometown of Bectoile.

The subject here is seeds—more specifically, seeds taken from former Spanish colonies. Some of them can no longer be identified, but as state property the seeds cannot be discarded. They end up being stored in room S.59, in possibly original 18th- and 19th-century crates marked Frutos sin nombres (“Unnamed fruits”). https://www.youtube.com/embed/WAAxA-MnQb0?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38601/every-contact-leaves-a-trace-lynne-sachs 2026-05-19T14:39:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38605/the-broken-r-rotacismo-ricardo-ruales-eguiguren 2026-07-04T10:51:31.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38607/the-clown-of-gaza-abdulrahman-sabbah 2025-10-18T08:09:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-17_в_14.31.11.png The Clown of Gaza - film by Abdulrahman Sabbah (trailer) The Clown of Gaza is a portrait of the greatly beloved performer Alaa Meqdad. The bombings of Gaza City—where he once lived with his parents, sisters, wife, and children—have forced him and his family into a tent camp. With extraordinary optimism, he embraces life in the here and now, and tries to make it more enjoyable for others. Together with his partner, he performs as Aloosh the clown for children in hospitals and on the streets. Their jokes, songs, and boundless energy make the horrific reality momentarily disappear. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1099305683?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38609/the-desert-of-the-real-luuk-bouwman 2026-06-28T14:47:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38612/a-fox-under-a-pink-moon-mehrdad-oskouei 2026-07-09T10:20:27.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38615/a-home-for-lydia-lydia-blijft-eline-helena-schellekens 2025-10-18T08:09:33.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-17_в_14.45.39.png A Home for Lydia (Lydia blijft) - short film by Eline Helena Schellekens (trailer) Lydia’s mother is from Cameroon, her father from Nigeria, but she and her brother were born in the Netherlands. None of them have a Dutch residence permit, and that’s a worry for Lydia. What if her parents have to go back to their countries of origin? Which one will she have to go with? While her father prepares a meal, Lydia asks him whether he’s scared. Of course he is, he admits, “But I’m not going anywhere. This is my country.” That's exactly what Lydia thinks, too. https://player.vimeo.com/video/155502650?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38617/eyes-of-the-machine-daya-cahen 2026-03-22T14:59:07.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38620/fantasy-isabel-pagliai 2026-08-11T17:45:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-17_в_14.56.32.png Fantasy - film by Isabel Pagliai (trailer) We often get to know characters by viewing them from the outside.

The plantation was intended to supply rubber to his automobile factories in the United States. Ford provided houses, schools and other facilities for the workers and their families but also imposed unreasonable rules, both at work and in people’s private lives. In her film, Susana de Sousa Dias reflects on the past and present of this neocolonial project, which lasted less than ten years in its original form. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yn-VgwjqV4U?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38633/fordlandia-panacea-susana-de-sousa-dias 2025-11-03T18:28:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38636/from-the-pole-to-the-equator-yervant-gianikian-angela-ricci-lucchi 2025-11-03T18:28:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-18_в_13.32.21.png From the Pole to the Equator - film by Yervant Gianikian, Angela Ricci Lucchi Italian film pioneer Luca Comerio (1876–1940) spent the early decades of the 20th century traveling the globe as a cinereporter, from the North Pole to the equator, becoming increasingly fascinated by colonialism and fascism. He captured images of mounted soldiers, missionary schools in Africa, hunters shooting polar bears, zebras, and lions, as well as Italian Alpine troops in the trenches of the First World War. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ryJt92CXjf8?autoplay=0 5760 https://vurchel.com/v/38639/gazas-twins-come-back-to-me-mohammed-sawwaf 2026-03-09T08:22:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38642/ghost-elephants-werner-herzog 2026-07-03T13:28:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38645/good-valley-stories-jose-luis-guerin 2026-04-25T14:26:18.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38648/grounded-simon-uribe-martinez 2025-11-03T18:28:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38652/heartbeat-jay-rosenblatt-stephanie-rapp 2025-11-03T18:28:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38655/holy-destructors-aiste-zhegulyt 2026-08-13T20:41:25.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-18_в_14.10.31.png Holy Destructors - film by Aiste Žegulytė (trailer) Microfungi existed millions of years before us and will probably outlive us.

Soumaya grew up in Barcelona, and the emotional distance between her and her mother, who is originally from Algeria, often feels vast. That tension is evident in their somewhat prickly conversation about praying and Ramadan. Things shift, however, when Soumaya decides to visit her grandmother in Algeria. https://player.vimeo.com/video/890089352?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38669/if-you-dont-like-it-look-away-margaux-fournier 2026-02-26T15:02:57.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/38671/images-of-the-world-and-the-inscription-of-war-harun-farocki 2025-11-03T18:28:40.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-18_в_15.07.14.png Images of the World and the Inscription of War - film by Harun Farocki In 1944, the US Air Force took photographs over Nazi-occupied Poland.

They were often welcomed in by well-to-do families with domestic staff living in sunny villas, and for most of the children this was a holiday in paradise. 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. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e2RSvG_1a0o?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38687/kabul-between-prayers-aboozar-amini 2026-06-21T09:31:37.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-18_в_15.37.45.png Kabul, Between Prayers - film by Aboozar Amini (trailer) In Afghanistan, a young Taliban soldier juggles farming and faith while his teenage brother transitions from boyhood games to militant ideology. https://www.youtube.com/embed/v9OvqGwfsQo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/38689/kiss-kiss-bang-bang-kus-kus-beng-beng-ollie-launspach 2026-06-26T09:06:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-18_в_15.42.00.png kiss kiss bang bang (kus kus beng beng) - short film by Ollie Launspach (trailer) Director Ollie Launspach is making his graduation film at the Netherlands Film Academy about what it’s like for his girlfriend Sterre Mulder that he’s transitioning.

Yet filmmaker Ketevan Vashagashvili’s intimate portrait derives its strength from the perceptive ways she captures the relationship between the two women. What starts as a means to make money evolves into a personal crisis, challenging the limits of familial devotion.

The film exists as a snapshot of a tolerant and respectful time, with expressions of such values seemingly in much shorter supply today.

The latter was particularly well-documented by the Argentine photographer Leandro Katz. Now very late in life and living in Buenos Aires, Katz shares the fascinating specter of a past intertwined with sexuality, art, and death https://player.vimeo.com/video/1059807613?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/39119/my-mom-jayne-mariska-hargitay 2025-11-07T11:51:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-23_в_11.34.40.png My Mom Jayne - film by Mariska Hargitay (trailer) At just three years old, Mariska Hargitay survived a car accident that claimed the life of her mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. Intimately and poignantly, Hargitay sets out to consider the woman behind the legend. Through emotional interviews and never-before-seen home movies and photos, My Mom Jayne reveals a side of Mansfield rarely glimpsed by the public—a mother, a friend, an artist—and a daughter’s moving search for connection, truth, and healing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/70qIqtM78MA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/39123/my-sunnyside-matylda-kawka 2025-11-07T11:51:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-23_в_11.42.40.png My Sunnyside - film by Matylda Kawka (trailer) Jo and Allie, a trans couple from Sunnyside, Queens, have built a life that defies easy categorization.

Inspired by Ukrainian director Kira Muratova, No Mercy interrogates power, violence, and representation as it blends history, criticism, and manifesto. With contributions from Céline Sciamma, Virginie Despentes, Nina Menkes, Catherine Breillat, Apolline Traoré, Joey Soloway, and more, the film is unapologetic, unflinching, and, fittingly, without mercy https://www.youtube.com/embed/t6yAZc9hkbY?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/39128/not-another-film-about-the-holocaust-roberta-grossman 2025-11-07T11:51:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/39131/nuns-vs-the-vatican-lorena-luciano 2026-03-25T15:53:46.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/39134/omega-wants-to-dance-ramon-tort 2025-11-07T11:51:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-23_в_12.22.40.png Omega Wants to Dance - film by Ramon Tort (trailer) In an imagined future where humans no longer exist, an AI system reflects on dance as the essence of consciousness, spontaneity, and identity. Philosophers, historians, artists, and Nobel laureates trace dance across ritual, flamenco, butoh, rave culture, and historical dance epidemics. Eclectic archives, experimental interludes, and candid testimonies weave a vibrant essay on movement as joy, ritual, and survival. At once speculative sci-fi and grounded documentary, the film creates a dazzling meditation on humanity’s eternal urge to dance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mdK-86yW5d0?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/39137/our-land-orban-wallace 2026-03-11T20:48:48.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/39142/para-vivir-the-implacable-times-of-pablo-milanes-fabien-pisani 2025-11-07T11:51:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/39143/paul-denis-cote 2026-05-26T14:10:03.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-23_в_12.39.39.png Paul - film by Denis Côté (trailer) Struggling with depression and social anxiety, Paul has found refuge in serving women who invite him to clean their homes.

Fast-paced, stylish, and full of celebrity cameos, it celebrates an artist who insists on pleasure as power. https://player.vimeo.com/video/933714920?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/39153/put-your-soul-on-your-hand-and-walk-sepideh-farsi 2025-11-07T11:51:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-10-23_в_13.01.46.png Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk - film by Sepideh Farsi (trailer) A filmmaker connects with a Palestinian woman in Gaza who documents life under bombardment.

Raised as an atheist, as he should have been at the time, the Ukrainian president was first and foremost a Soviet boy. When he was 13, the USSR collapsed. His largely unpoliticized adolescence followed the hopes and chaos of an independent Ukraine, where crime and poverty flourished, while the future oligarchs appropriated a share of the country’s resources. In building courtyards, on improvised stages, his little troupe of friends, boys and girls, try their hand at stand-up comedy and song.

But after a near-fatal heart attack, Jorge is hit with an unfamiliar urge: to become a better man. Or at least look like one. Fueled by guilt, nicotine, junk food, and questionable life choices, he sets out to win back his daughter’s trust and prove he’s changed – without actually changing too much. Because old habits die hard… and Jorge’s aren't even close to dying. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VYtbl5qKg14?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/39825/admission-quentin-hsu 2025-11-23T11:09:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-09_в_21.55.36.png Admission - film by Quentin Hsu (trailer) Every parent wants to secure the best possible future for their child.

The film also used archival footage of BIX concerts from the 1990s to illustrate the time period. This new story captures the free and playful essence of BIX’s rebellious spirit, which once led Samas and the band to West Berlin, where they shared a stage with Nirvana. Samas, a painter and karate fan, was followed and ‘re-educated’ by the KGB and helped spark the punk movement that protested against Soviet restrictions.

With the dubious guidance of their social worker, Ballack, they’ve created their own little anarchic utopia. But Katharina, sick of the world and its expectations, is determined not to survive past 18. With her birthday looming in two weeks, her friends are scrambling to keep her suicide attempts under wraps, terrified that exposing the truth will destroy the only semblance of “home” they have ever known. In this darkly comedic tale of rebellion, abandonment, and surviving the absurd, “Thanks for Nothing” is the kids’ collective middle finger to the adults who have abandoned or failed them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hnyg4hEFNVo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40167/that-burning-house-yin-chuan-tsai 2025-11-23T11:09:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_13.48.14.png That Burning House - film by Yin-chuan Tsai (trailer) At Home of Happiness, a devoted social worker struggles to reform troubled youth while the institution falls into crisis.

And without supervision! Nikca decides to put her little brother away in his room and invite her friend Gabča over, planning to order pizza, watch a horror movie on video, and just have fun. But watching a forbidden scary film is not meant for them. Instead, they experience a small horror encounter of their own. It begins when Ondra, a hungover high school senior, suddenly shows up. The peace is further disturbed by Tomas, who cannot stay in his room. After all, he has a Bugaboo under his bed, and it is just crawling out. The girls’ weekend is simply ruined, and it turns out that Tomas is not the only one who “has a monster under the bed”. Each of them is afraid of something. Even the Bugaboo himself. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aZuj2sX37do?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40183/the-danish-woman-danska-konan-benedikt-erlingsson 2026-02-09T08:13:48.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_14.12.46.png The Danish Woman (Danska Konan) - film by Benedikt Erlingsson (trailer) When Ditte Jensen retires with Honors from the Danish Secret Service, she moves into an apartment block in Reykjavik, where she plans to tend to her garden and live out her life in anonymity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/33-S236YKtI?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40186/the-dashed-lines-as-linas-descontinuas-anxos-fazans 2026-08-14T15:45:27.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_14.25.13.png The Dashed Lines (As Liñas Descontinuas) - film by Anxos Fazáns (trailer) Bea is a 50-year-old woman going through a divorce, and Denís is a 28-year-old trans man struggling with job insecurity.

This is home to the world’s largest radio telescope. An instrument so sensitive, if scientists want to listen to an iPhone on Mars, they can. This extraordinary sensitivity means that even the slightest signals can interfere with the telescope. That is why cell phones, WiFi, and microwave ovens are heavily restricted in The Quiet Zone. In this isolated area many people who believe they suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity – a disputed, mysterious illness – are finding shelter within the Quiet Zone’s borders. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xIp-l3Dg66E?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40198/the-feast-of-the-wolf-vuchja-gozba-jadran-boban 2025-11-23T11:09:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_14.54.21.png The Feast of the Wolf (Vučja gozba) - film by Jadran Boban (trailer) In the Dalmatian hills, a chilling rumour spreads – the EU flies in wolves by helicopter to drive people from their homes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WyxCP74HlHc?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40201/the-lost-dream-team-jure-pavlovic 2026-06-27T13:57:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_15.00.06.png The Lost Dream Team - film by Jure Pavlovic (trailer) “The Lost Dream Team” is the story of the last Yugoslav basketball team and their quest for a gold medal in the face of political turmoil and the ensuing period of war. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DT28ax-w1Ws?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40204/the-megalomaniacs-spiros-stathoulopoulos 2025-11-23T11:09:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/40208/the-moon-is-a-father-of-mine-george-ovashvili 2025-11-23T11:09:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_15.10.56.png The Moon is a Father of Mine (მთვარე მამაა ჩემი) - film by George Ovashvili (trailer) Father and son test the boundaries of trust, loyalty and love on the eve of a pivotal event. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wwHvCGPis4U?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/40211/the-morrigan-colum-eastwood 2025-11-23T11:09:53.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-13_в_15.14.44.png The Morrigan - film by Colum Eastwood (trailer) On a remote Irish island, archaeologist Fiona unearths a burial casket containing a mummified figure, unknowingly unleashing an ancient evil upon her team, and her rebellious daughter, Lily.

Through in-depth interviews with friends and family and the original 16mm film footage of their incredible journey, director Alison Reid shows how the trip expanded the pair’s knowledge of the physical world while deepening their spiritual and emotional connection to it.

The Broca’s Area in the brain is involved primarily in speech production. During a traumatic event or when trying to recall a traumatic event, this area shuts down. This makes it harder for a survivor to talk about what’s happened.

Shortly before his departure, his two closest friends invite him to a farewell dinner.Even on his way to the restaurant, Koray encounters examples and characters that justify his decision to emigrate, which only heightens his unease. During the farewell dinner, the three friends discuss the individual and societal aspects of emigrating abroad, touching on fundamental concepts whose meanings have become increasingly ambiguous in recent years—such as refugee/hood, homeland, nationalism, social etiquette, and money. Each approaches the topic from different perspectives, and tensions occasionally rise. At one point, the conversation hits a deadlock and the atmosphere grows tense. Murat, who is relatively level/headed, manages to ease the situation with the help of the musicians at the venue, and the evening comes to a close peacefully. After dinner, while walking through side streets in a drunken state, Koray witnesses a young girl being beaten by her boyfriend. At first, he ignores the incident and continues on his way. However, influenced by the discussions at the dinner table, he decides to intervene politely to defuse the situation. His intention is to handle the matter with tact and calmness. But things do not go as Koray expects. He encounters unexpected violence and putting his life in danger. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1117802728?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/41367/a-being-of-possibilities-bir-mkanlar-varl-bar-oezalta 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41369/angst-furkan-arslanta 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41371/mom-ana-yamur-yueksel 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41373/behind-onlar-hamide-enise-aytekin 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41376/waterway-no58-umut-karaduman 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-29_в_16.14.38.png Waterway No58 - short film by Umut Karaduman An architectural documentary exploring the creation of a building in Istanbul-where light, material, and human hands converge to turn construction into a cinematic act of memory and craft. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1064878722?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 1560 https://vurchel.com/v/41379/the-inscription-of-grief-yasn-yazs-ylmaz-oezdil-emre-alolu 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41381/black-wednesday-serezipon-kazm-baynal 2025-12-12T06:49:11.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-11-29_в_16.21.37.png Black Wednesday (SEREZÎPON) - short film by Kazım Baynal (trailer) A 13-year marriage, no children, social pressure, and a lost horse.

She’s almost completely skeletal, besides her fleshed-out mouth, a few strands on her arms and big rotting lungs connected to a series of tubes exiting the frame. She notices us and claps twice, prompting the tubes to vibrate and fill up her lungs, letting her draw a breath and allowing her to speak. Through her monologue (which she often interrupts with another clap to refill her lungs) we learn that flesh, the only thing that allows bones to move, has become a scarcity. She stresses that it’s everyone’s duty to use what little they have. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aRwncwYr07I?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/41574/tears-rozdarcia-paulina-ziokowska 2026-03-09T09:04:21.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-02_в_09.44.25.png Tears (Rozdarcia) - short film by Paulina Ziółkowska (trailer) A film about the inability to make a decision.

This work speaks of the quest for an «Island», an eternal subject in the history of philosophy, the search for Utopia, a non existing place. The drawings on maps show us mystical calculations of the location of this Island. When we manage to read through them and we do find this Island we see the animation that shows us what is happening there. We see an abstract animation that actually symbolises the freedom of the ideas, what Utopia actually is. We see that all is possible and that if it exists in the mind it can exist in reality. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XzRxHqyas7w?autoplay=0 360 https://vurchel.com/v/41687/how-steel-was-tempered-igor-grubi 2025-12-12T06:21:59.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-04_в_19.39.46.png How Steel Was Tempered - short film by Igor Grubić A father takes his son to an abandoned factory where he once worked.

The death of a fish awakens the sorrows of a lifetime. The Mother’s great losses take shape in the form of doubles, drawing her toward the center of a pond where her depression crystallizes. The Daughter uses dance to hold her back, as words seem devoid of meaning. The figure of a Heron, both symbolic and ordinary, urges the girl to accept her powerlessness and find her place. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iUi8FN5pDpU?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/41809/blue-chronicles-cronicas-azules-miguel-anaya-borja 2025-12-12T06:05:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41811/deconstruction-neda-ivanovi 2025-12-12T06:05:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/41813/dizzy-cavalry-cavalerie-etourdie-patrick-doyon 2025-12-12T06:05:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-07_в_14.00.17.png Dizzy Cavalry (Cavalerie étourdie) - short film by Patrick Doyon (trailer) An old 8mm reel of a Hollywood western flickers to life once more.

One method was the "white death march," where, after 1916, Greek civilians were forced to march inland through deep snow without food or water. In 1921, Agapi and her family were among those forced from their home in Kotyora (Ordu, Turkey) on a 40-day march.

He is immediately confronted with the harshness of this new place, where he is not welcome. Unable to speak the language and unaware of the nuances of another culture, he feels-and appears to everyone around him-like an alien, a rabbit in an astronaut suit. John is assigned meaningless tasks since he looks different and lacks practical skills. Despite daily ridicule, the rabbit does not give up and tries to connect with those around him. Over time, John adapts to his environment and undergoes internal and external changes. From a strange creature, a rabbit in an astronaut suit, he transforms into a human, gradually resembling everyone else-just another part of the grey mass. Yet, in reality, John remains oppressed by the external world around him. One evening, while drinking with a colleague, an argument escalates into a physical fight. This conflict, a descent into primal brutality in its rawest form, marks the final stage of John's transformation into a human being. The rabbit notices his external change and, not understanding why he looks this way, tries to escape from his surroundings. But ultimately, John is haunted by the ghosts of his past-his traumas and the war. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1082151206?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/41889/the-ostrich-has-run-away-yuan-shui 2026-06-13T15:26:58.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-07_в_19.10.02.png The Ostrich Has Run Away - short film by Yuan Shui Based on a true story of an ostrich escaping a safari park and dying of exhaustion after running 20 kilometers.

It is dedicated to the French poet Giselle Prassinos and is based on her early poem "Corvée", written in 1934 when she was only 14 years old. "Corvée" is seen as a surreal text, its rhythm is more important than its meaning, so there is no translation in the film. The heroine is in the space between sleep and awakening, everyday sounds transform into strange images, the game gives birth to a text and at the same time becomes a ritual of initiation into poets. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qFnaV2-TjD0?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/42035/fiston-lyusya-sibirceva 2025-12-12T06:05:14.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42037/bulgakov-stanislav-sokolov 2026-06-12T08:24:01.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-10_в_19.29.17.png Bulgakov (Булгаковъ) - short film by Stanislav Sokolov (trailer) The film tells about the work of Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov in the early 20s of the last century as a journalist in Moscow newspapers and magazines and about his participation in a troupe of traveling actors.

Eine wilde, aufregende und gefährliche Schau", which was held in 1975 at the Städtische Galerie zum Strauhof in Zurich. The sociologist Ellen Meyrat, who had designed a listening booth with abortion stories in the exhibition, drew the attention of other women to the fact that in the canton of Zurich the issue of introducing sex education in schools was being debated. Ellen Meyrat, the directors Tula Roy and Lili Sommer, the television presenter Madeleine Hirsiger and the editor Marianne Jäggi then came together to form the Werkfilm collective, which directed the short documentary film Jugend und Sexualität, released in 1979. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1055490556?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/42757/jackpot-abid-chand 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42759/isan-odyssey-thunska-pansittivorakul 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-22_в_18.56.30.png Isan Odyssey (อีสานอำพราง) - film by Thunska Pansittivorakul (trailer) Isan, the largest and most impoverished region of Thailand, has long been a thorn in the kingdom’s flesh with its legacy of pro-democratic movements.

How should they edit? Should they aim high, or start out humble? They’ll have to reach some agreements, but they decide to film first and solve any issues later. Capturing the two friends with a lot of gentleness, Seth Cheong delivers a cheeky yet warm ode to filmmaking and companionship. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fmXMHDcQ3wA?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/42855/delupi-mohammad-touqir-islam 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-23_в_23.21.31.png Delupi - film by Mohammad Touqir Islam (trailer) The July Revolution ripples through river-veined Delupi, in southwestern Bangladesh, in this timely political drama.

We meet Michael and Jim, two Afro-Taiwanese men of US military heritage. Speaking in Hakka and Taiwanese Hokkien, they open up with generosity and vulnerability, confronting the complexity of heritage, identity, belonging and language – and the impossibility of being contained by a single perspective. https://www.youtube.com/embed/RHWNIrGvJXc?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/42872/mayilaa-semmalar-annam 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42875/master-bantoo-arsh-jain 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42878/mergen-chingiz-narynov 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42881/mi-amor-guillaume-nicloux 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42884/mickey-richard-ryan-white-a.p-pickle 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42886/mirror-martyr-mirror-moon-jesse-jones 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-24_в_17.02.59.png Mirror Martyr Mirror Moon - short film by Jesse Jones (trailer) A true Gesamtkunstwerk for the screen, this opera loosely based on the landscape of Mount Sinai – where the body of St Catherine was mystically elevated after her martyrdom – is made in collaboration with score composer Irene Buckley and Colombian-American singer Stephanie Lamprea.

Leave that to Anna Vasof – prop master extraordinaire and fervent maker of surprising connections. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on things, she turns everything on its head.

The child visits Disneyland, celebrates birthdays and poses with her parents. But the woman does not recognise the girl, even though it is her. Filmmaker and visual effects artist Yana Lineva distorts images and memories to draw a parallel with a puzzling event from the 90s, when hundreds of people flocked to a Bulgarian airport to welcome aliens that were supposed to look just like us. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2jVo0yn2sRc?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/42918/acid-city-jack-wedge-will-freudenheim 2026-08-21T12:28:06.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42921/after-the-cities-despues-de-las-ciudades-xacio-bano 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42923/a-survivors-tale-micha-wald 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42926/accept-our-sincere-apologies-juja-dobrachkous 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42929/a-smorfia-jean-ruggirello 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42932/a-messy-tribute-to-motherly-love-een-mislukt-eerbetoon-aan-moederliefde-dan-geesin 2026-07-07T10:55:04.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42934/a-letter-from-elli-kirje-elliltae-elina-saloranta 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42937/bazaar-murder-in-the-building-remi-bezancon 2026-07-07T12:03:10.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42939/au-hasard-darren-dominique-heroux 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42942/between-arms-robin-nevis 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42944/black-strangers-dan-guthrie 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42947/broken-hyewon-jung 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/42950/branches-from-concrete-zhou-zhenyu 2026-06-01T14:59:43.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-25_в_18.08.16.png Branches from Concrete - short film by Zhou Zhenyu (trailer) Between bare concrete walls, unfinished structures and stalled escalators, an otherworldly, gleaming metallic figure emerges.

Perhaps it is the act of creating something wonderful with words, paper and a desire to help assuage the anxiety of others. Andrea Dorfman’s homey (in all the best senses of the word) animation complements Tanya Davis’s lilting voice and warm and cathartic poetry in this uplifting reminder that art can heal in the midst of tragedy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OT40Rmjwd-Q?autoplay=0 240 https://vurchel.com/v/43013/how-now-house-tess-martin 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-26_в_21.04.34.png How Now, House? - short film by Tess Martin (trailer) The boundaries between past, present and future blur as a shared house becomes the focal point of a hypnotic meditation on the passing of time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ENauQQ9aX1M?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/43015/how-to-dance-aileen-ye 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/43018/i-grew-an-inch-when-my-father-died-p-r-monencillo-patindol 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/43021/i-like-life-a-lot-katalin-macskassy 2026-01-02T16:07:28.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-26_в_21.14.35.png I Like Life a Lot - short film by Katalin Macskássy (trailer) A collaborative effort between children, art teachers and animators, this film looks at life in a Roma settlement in Komló, Hungary.

A human figure gradually merges into the darkness of the woods, with only the ghostly illumination of a truck headlight; meanwhile, the celluloid image strip is worked upon with scratches, dirt and reversals of brightness and darkness. Bursts of plaintive music and glimpses of a map add to the dreamlike reverie. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1105871135?autoplay=0&color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0 https://vurchel.com/v/43115/its-too-cold-for-the-spirits-to-live-here-tosca-schift 2026-01-03T12:09:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/43117/a-good-man-kjettil-gerritsen 2026-01-03T12:09:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/43119/you-are-not-part-of-the-cake-ting-jui-chen 2026-08-10T17:34:44.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-27_в_14.08.00.png You Are Not Part of the Cake - short film by Ting-Jui Chen (trailer) A girl kills her girlfriend’s abusive, homophobic father and makes him into a cake to celebrate the rebirth of her girlfriend’s life. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XSj-NH_Zrlo?autoplay=0 https://vurchel.com/v/43121/allies-in-exile-hasan-kattan 2026-01-03T12:09:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/v/43123/afternoon-hearsay-peng-zuqiang 2026-01-03T12:09:29.000Z 1.0 https://vurchel.com/img/films/_th600/Снимок_экрана_2025-12-28_в_13.44.16.png Afternoon Hearsay - short film by Peng Zuqiang (trailer) 8.75mm is a gauge of celluloid filmstrip that circulated exclusively in China between the 1960s and 1980s. Designed primarily for itinerant screenings in villages and rural areas, the format never had its own dedicated camera.

It was given to him by his teacher because, like an earthquake, sometimes his anger explodes uncontrolled and irrational, leaving obvious marks as it passes. Precisely the parallelism with the telluric phenomenon will lead us on a journey through the child's feelings and emotions, starting from what happens before the earthquake until its manifestation and the destruction it leaves behind. We will go into the bowels of the earth, into the depths of Earthquake's soul and we will get in touch with the origin of these primordial impulses. We will embark on a journey that seeks to deepen this fundamental stage of growth in which the child experiments with emotions, trying to transform them into feelings that are codified and understandable to all. Earthquake struggles to be what everyone else would like him to be.
