FILM REVIEW
 YOUDirected by Hugo Pinto We appreciate the choice of experimenting with cinematic devices and trying forms of a structure different from narrative cinema, but we suggest an original approach in the visual content for the film and in the presented ideas. |  DE GLACEDirected by Rautszko Panz Nikodem This modern atmospheric noir which features no dialogue manages to show a gripping story in only five minutes and it certainly doesn’t lack suspense. |  BREAKERDirected by Philippe McKie “Breaker” has an intriguing premise and manages to keep the viewer engaged through its quirky story and beautiful imagery. |
|---|---|---|
 THE SIMON'S WAYDirected by Edgar Baghdasaryan ''The Simon's Way'' is a touching film, developed with great attention to detail and it reveals a director’s great talent to portray human complexity. |  MUM, I'M BACKDirected by Dimitris Katsimiris A woman hurries in a cemetery to attend her mother’s funeral but meets halfway with the crowd of bereaved people. After being fiercely attacked by a group of men, we discover the protagonist is a trans woman. |  EXQUISITE CORPSEDirected by Laura LI “Exquisite Corpse” is an experimental short following the stream of consciousness of an entity that passed through multiple lives. |
 LIFE-O-MATICDirected by Jim Phillips The universe of ''Life-O-Matic'' is the nightmare of every TV watcher that rushes to change the channel when commercials interrupt the program. |  NO EXIT - RISE AGAINSTDirected by Jesper Isaksen ''No Exit 2'' is an action film with an intriguing premise, but with an unconvincing cinematic structure. The director is in need of a better correlation between means of expression in film, which should complement and not reiterate each other. |  NO SMOKINGDirected by Michelangelo di Pierro Riccardo is a conservative middle-aged man holding a senior job at a company and living comfortably. A new law forbidding smoking turns his existence upside down. |
 NO WAVEDirected by Stephane Lapointe This film is a representation of nightmare, where the deepest fears and concerns grab our imagination and take the form of unlikely events resembling reality. |  NATIVE IMMIGRATIONDirected by Eric Romero In the context of social changes from the past years, immigration became a trending topic in the daily news and TV shows. As the politically correct media obsesses over integration, this film tackles the immigrants that merged so well with their adoptive culture that they forgot where they came from. |  IAMPREGNANTDirected by Debabrat Samal “I am pregnant” is a short film that features an interesting plot, but is deficient in an overall creative vision and in attention to technical quality. |
 POWERLESSDirected by Sarrio David “Powerless” in not the usual superhero story. In a futuristic megalopolis, superheroes are just a marketing tools, empowered and controlled by big companies. Christopher Wyatt, who works as Power Man, is the main hero figure for General Electric. |  NO EXITDirected by Jesper Isaksen “No Exit” is a short action film depicting the fall of an emerging gangster. |  RAWDirected by Rita Huerta & Melisa Estrada “Raw” is a fashion film with an interesting concept which would have benefited from more attention to details. |
 THE FAMILY WAY - COMING HOMEDirected by Shiva Rodriguez Crawford is a goth kid who turns his angst and unhappiness against those who reject him in a monstrous way. He develops the ways of serial killer “à la carte”, but with an artistic touch: he paints the portraits of his victims with their own blood. |  Somewhere, TomorrowDirected by André Siqueira The film reveals a well-crafted love story and a truly great piece of filmmaking. But, at the same time, it’s clearly that it’s not a film made for everyone and you may need some kind of experience or maturity in order to reach the whole meaning of this short story. |
