SUMMARY:This is not a Burial\, it’s a Resurrection
DESCRIPTION:Þegar áttræða ekkjan Mantoa missir eina eftirlifandi son sinn í námuslysi\, fer hún að undirbúa sinn eigin dauðdaga. Mantoa pakkar saman eigum sínum og finnur mann úr þorpinu til að grafa sér gröf. Áform hennar um friðsæl ævilok fara hins vegar á annan veg þegar hún kemst að því að byggja eigi uppistöðulón í þorpinu\, sem mun setja kirkjugarðinn á flot. Mantoa fær bæjarbúa með sér í lið\, og síðustu ævidagar hennar verða eftirminnilegri en hún hafði gert sér í hugarlund. \nWhen octogenarian widow Mantoa loses the last of her children to a mining accident\, she begins making arrangements to die herself\, wrapping up her affairs and possessions\, and seeking a local man to dig her a grave. Yet her plans for a peaceful passing are undone when a new reservoir is set to be built in her village\, which will flood the cemetery. Mantoa ignites a collective spirit of defiance within the community\, and her last days become much more memorable than she ever thought. \nDirector: Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese / Lesotho\, South Africa\, Italy/ Drama\nWriters: Nadja Dumouchel\, Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese

SUMMARY:INTERNATIONAL SHORTS I
DESCRIPTION:Correspondence\nBréfaskipti / Correspondencia\nSpain\, Chile / 2020 / 19 min / Short Fiction\nDirectors: Dominga Sotomayor and Carla Simón\nWriters: Dominga Sotomayor and Carla Simón\nProducers: Carla Sospedra\, Maria Zamora\, Dominga Sotomayor \nÍ formi kvikmyndaðra bréfasamtala fjalla tveir ungir kvikmyndagerðarmenn um kvikmyndir\, fjölskyldur\, arfleið og móðurhlutverkið. Hugleiðingar þeirra eru persónulegar og djúpstæðar og birtast í mikilfenglegum myndum teknum dag frá degi – og bergmála skyndilega í pólitískri neyð heimalandsins. Carla Simón var fyrsta konan til að vinna Gullna hlébarðann fyrir leikstjórn á Locarno kvikmyndahátíðinni árið 2018. \nIn the form of a filmed epistolary conversation\, two young filmmakers discuss film\, present and past family\, heritage\, and maternity. The personal and profound reflections—which are embodied in the graceful images taken day-to-day—are suddenly echoed by the political emergency faced by her country. Carla Simón made history at the Locarno Film Festival in 2018 becoming the first woman to win the Golden Leopard Award for Best Direction. \nON HOLD // Poikien puhelin\nÍ bið\nFinland / 2020 / 21 min / Short Documentary\nDirectors: Laura Rantanen \nVissirðu að kynþroskaskeiðið varir að eilífu? On Hold er tilraunastuttmynd sem skoðar bæði félagslega og erfðafræðilega þætti karlmennskunnar. Myndin er byggð á nafnlausum símtölum sem bárust hjálparsíma fyrir drengi og unga menn undir 20 ára. \nDid you know puberty lasts forever? On Hold is an experimental documentary short film contemplating the themes of intergenerationality and socially constructed masculinity. The film is based on anonymous phone calls dialed to a helpline for boys and young men under 20 years of age. \nVolcano: What does a lake dream?\nEldfjall: Hvað dreymir lækinn?\nVulcão: O Que Sonha um Lago?\nFrance and Portugal / 2020 / 21 min / Short Documentary\nDirectors: Diana Vidrascu\nWriters: Diana Vidrascu\, Johan Härnsten\nProducers: Diana Vidrascu\, Jesse James\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nFagurfræðileg og myndræn framsetning í bland við vísindalegar frásagnir og hljóðverk. Áhorfandi fer inn í heim náttúrumynda sem breytast í truflandi en áhugaverðan\, óraunverulegan og stjórnlausan heim. \nA film mixing aesthetic and photographic research with mythological and scientific narratives and soundwork. Lulled by the stories told by the protagonists\, we are caught up in these images of nature that transform into a disturbing but exciting\, unreal and uncontrollable world. \nHEAVEN REACHES DOWN TO EARTH\nHIMNARNIR TEYGJA SIG NIÐUR AÐ JÖRÐU\nSouth Africa / 10 min / Short Fiction / 2020\nDirector: Tebogo Malebogo\nProducer: Petrus van Staden\nWorld Premiere / Heimsfrumsýning \nStaða hinsegin fólks í Afríku\, hefðbundnar væntingar til karlmanna í afrískri menningu\, og einangrunin sem mörg okkar finna tvinnast saman í myndinni. Myndin veitir innsýn í reynsluheim þeirra Tau og Tumelo\, en þegar Tau uppgötvar kynhneigð sína og sendir það Tumelo í sína eigin sjálfsskoðunarvegferð. \nWe find Heaven Reaches Down to Earth at a crossroads of emerging stories: queerness in Africa\, the traditional expectations of men within those African cultures\, and the isolation that many of us find ourselves currently dealing with\, as seen through the experiences of two young men\, Tau and Tumelo. The film serves as a snapshot of a moment in which Tau’s realization about his sexual orientation acts as an accelerant that sets Tumelo on his own journey. \nDUMMY\nGERVI // Atkūrimas\nLithuania / 2020 / 13 min\nDirector: Laurynas Bareiša \nGlæpamaður notar andlitslausa brúðu til að endurleika grimmilegan glæp. En að óvörum er hann ekki sá sem er dæmdur\, þar sem svo virðist vera að einhver leiki tveimur skjöldum í rannsóknarhópunum. \nUsing a faceless doll\, a criminal reenacts a brutal crime. But surprisingly he is not the one being judged. There seems to be an odd one out in the investigative group. \nI AM AFRAID TO FORGET YOUR FACE\nÉG ER HRÆDDUR UM AÐ GLEYMA ANDLITINU ÞÍNU\nEgypt\, France\, Belgium\, Qatar / 15 min / 2020 / Sort Fiction / Drama\nDirectors: Sameh Alaa\nWriter: Sameh Alaa\nProducers: Muhammad Taymour\, Martin Jérôme\nNordic Premiere / Norðurlandafrumsýning \nEftir að hafa verið aðskilin í 82 daga ferðast Adam um erfiðan veg til að verða sameinaður ástinni sinni\, sama hvað það kostar. \nAfter being separated for 82 days\, Adam travels down a rough road to be reunited with the one he loves\, whatever it takes.

SUMMARY:So real\, so very now\, The One Minutes
DESCRIPTION:‘so real\, so very now’ is curated by Misha de Ridder and is intended as an exercise in seeing: to look\, to look again and to look anew. Perception is the point of departure for a series of experiments in video within the restraint of one minute. \nAn open call was preceded by a workshop with students of Gerrit Rietveld Academiein Amsterdam in order the investigate the nature of the real and now and set perimeters for the series. The workshop concluded with the following statement: “Perceptual reality is not objective since it is already framed (by the very act of looking)\, but it is also not subjective as it is not yet categorized (no meaning has been attached to it yet). It is more like a sort of state than actual reality. This state we will call ‘pure perception’\, which is thus inherently open for interpretation. It coincides with the medium. In art making to stay in the realm of ‘pure perception’ means the work of art\, for the viewer\, should be as open for interpretation as possible. The artist should stay within this ambiguous zone which you cannot fully grasp\, since it is here where we seem to connect with or relate to the world as unknown given. (Regardless if this reality actually exists in the world or ‘in the mind’.) The camera\, here understood as ‘looking machine’\, is ideally suited for working in this realm of the ‘pure perception’. This is because the ‘machine reality’ is neither the reality before interpretation (the camera reality is already framed and transformation has already started)\, nor is there interpretation since the camera is not conscious\, it is not a subject\, it has no brain. The artist working with photography and film who aims to work in the realm of ‘pure perception’ should ‘go with’ the output of the camera (working in a level of concentration where thought is virtually absent). And subsequently present it intuitively (abstain from attaching meaning\, so far this is actually possible) in such a way that the final work is true to the realm of ‘pure perception’. The final work should be as open for interpretation as possible and perhaps even more important\, it should almost magically incite the viewer to find new meaning the more he looks. (To look\, to look again\, to look anew.)” \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS:\nMisha de Ridder\, Good Morning Shanghai\, 2020\nJette Kelholt\, Maan 2020\nSophie van den Berg\, Metronome\, 2020\nCristina Planas\, 9.7 billion of us\, 2020\nTycho Hupperets\, COO44\, 2020\nLuna Deckers\, Holding strength\, 2020\nMarie Diamant\, Water 1\, 2020\nJiyan Düyü\, Listening\, 2020\nMarie Diamant\, Water 2\, 2020\nAlex Harris\, TRAM THREADS\, 2020\nTycho Hupperets\, Petit Battement\, 2020\nAndrea Bordoli\, TREASUREISLAND\, 2020\nJosh Lee\, c-a-m\, 2020\nHeleen Mineur\, Evidence of non-harmonious being\, 2020\nTobias Niemeyer\, homely spirits\, 2020\nAndrea Bordoli\, SHELLS\, 2020\nJette Keltholt\, okii\, 2020
