Memories of an Unborn Sun
Marcel Mrejen / Algeria / 2024 / 22 mins
Since 2006, thousands of Chinese workers have been arriving daily to Algeria to build new cities across the country. Based on testimonies, rumours and fake news, the film questions the energy behind this development: from Algerian colonial history to the rise of Chinese expansionism.

Cross My Heart And Hope To Die
Sam Manacsa / Philippines / 2023 / 17 mins
Mila struggles as she remains unpaid at work and a love interest becomes a source of comfort through his constant phone calls. But a promise of hope may also lead to tragedy and sad love songs.

Ashen Sun VOSTA
Camille Monnier / France / 2024 / 13 mins

Under a scorching sun, Charlie is bored out of her mind and dreams of going to the seaside. But she's forced to guard a seedy motel with her cousin Jess, who's slumped in her deckchair. The ecological apocalypse announced on the airwaves suddenly erupts into reality.

Workers’ Wings
Ilir Hasanaj / Kosovo / 2024 / 19 mins

Injured labourers are looking at us: how do they feel? What are their hopes? What does the future hold for them? Every line on their faces sculpted by life itself. In contrast, a system filled with danger and injustice looms.

Square The Circle
Hanna Hovitie / Finland / 2024 / 17 mins

A circular film about one person’s round trip out to the (un)known universe and into themselves. A search for a sense of belonging, to be a circle in a world of squares.
