Internet Gaga, m. Reinhold Bidner, Reinhold Bidner, Austria, 2023, 2’17’’
Once upon a time (not so long ago), we humans believed that we would create a free and democratic place of endless knowledge through the internet. Just a few downloads, swipes and dislikes later, we now know that we have failed massively. 4Real!
Miramis, m. Oskar Schuster, Angie Siveria, Oskar Schuster, Germany, 2022, 2’27’’
Probably many people had a cookie iron jar in their childhood that contained the most secret treasures: old family photos, figurines, stickers, video tapes and secret memories. How many boxes does it take to keep all your memorabilia? Is it possible to save a loved one from the war in such box and take them to a safe place? Angie Siveria’s poem is a reflection on the ongoing war in Ukraine, her childhood in Donetsk, which is now temporarily occupied.
I always wanted to be a dog. Even a hideous one, m. Andrzej Konieczny, Wojciech Siejak, Poland, 2022, 4’28’’
A short animated film dealing with the subject of ongoing rivalry between reason and senses. Nonlinear narrative structure moves between the worlds of metaphor, memories and exaggerated reality. Inhabitants of each dimension face challenges they are not prepared for. What can you do when rationality becomes unbearable?
Nightmares, m. Bikini Beach, Lotti Peach, Germany, 2023, 3’43’’
Music video for my own band (bikini beach). It’s about nightmares in my head.

Gagnant, m. Bizar, Capucine Gougelet, Capucine Muller, France, 2023, 3’04’’
A young and over-ambitious manager of a call center makes life hard for his employees. Self-confident and deeply convinced that he has a bright future ahead of him, the harshness of his daily life catches up with him as soon as he leaves work…

Onti, m. Ab Re, Miloš Tomić, Serbia, 2023, 5’09’’
Onti is an imaginary character. He’s a paraphrase of our subconscious. It is both a nightmare and an inseparable part of our being. This short musical video personifies the randomness of feelings, thoughts, events and perceptions related to it. There is no linear action. Almost every frame in the film is a fusion of two or even three layers of separately made animations. Enjoy and understand it as you feel it!
Kocyk, m. Łona x Konieczny x Krupa, Poland, 2023, 3’41’’
„KOCYK” is the third single from the trio Łona x Konieczny x Krupa, promoting the album „TAXI”. This time, the creators contemplate essential questions: How to discover the source of style? Where does power originate? What is the most important thing in a taxi driver’s job? Resolving these pressing issues brings to life their latest release, „KOCYK” (BLANKET in polish).
Going Potato, m. Nona Problemo, Jonas Lucien Callebert, Belgium, 2022, 5’04’’
An adorable pet finds himself bored in a pink kidsroom. He embarks on an escape outside of his cage. Suddenly, out of the doorway comes a strange, disturbing Patato man from another world, with another story to tell: a musical world of ecological catastrophes and submarine science fiction. This presented distraction eventually kind of helps with the big escape, but in a much more spectacular, violent and also unnecessary way.
Horsetail, m. Resina, Mateusz Jarmulski, Poland, 2022, 4’34’’

Beautiful Figures, m. Magda Drozd, Soetkin Verstegen, Belgium, 2022, 4’
Thoughts ripple over the pages of a personal notebook, kept during a stay at different science labs in Zürich. They float from one to another, like a mind map of unfinished ideas on memory, medical imaging, cells, and aging.
Horizonte de sucesos, m. Tiburona, Pablo Ballarín, Spain, 2’50’’
Music video for Tiburona.
