CROSS

A boy recalls his grandmother’s guidance on how to cross the street. Retracing this ritual, his memory, faith, and childhood converge.

All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt

Tender caresses and enveloping embraces are portals into the life of Mack, a Black woman in Mississippi. Winding through the anticipation, love, and heartbreak she experiences from childhood to adulthood, the expressionist journey is an ode to connection — with loved ones and with place.

World on a string

A ferry drifts along the Weser. Slow 16mm images of boats, railings, industrial shores, and cranes—scarred and clouded by the river itself, hand-processed with its water, marked by sediment and rust—dissolve into Annina Mossoni’s text: some people want the world on a string.

Longing for Spring

A visual poem where a woman visits various Buddhist temples in Nara and winter turns to spring.

Dumpster Duchess

Four Montrealers search for their path within their failing metropolis, mirroring the deterioration of their deepest ambitions. A cinepoetic journey through Montréal- both modest and morose- woven together by the sounds of small things.

Bodies of Desire

Using Varsha Panikar's poetry series by the same name, it follows the journey of a poet as they rediscover love, passion, and identity after encountering their muse.

Dreamtale

An experimental visual poem about a sick lonely old man stays in his big empty house, dreaming of a glorious life that he could have. In this dream, he plays a Rubik's Cube, which connects the memories of his prime in a paralleled universe, the chapters of love and pain.

Zdrowaśki

A poetic coming-of-age, in which the characters drift through memories, searching for a place in a world that constantly casts them aside. An intimate, indie-aesthetic story about reminiscences preserved on camera, lost and regained bonds and people learning to grow up within a space lacking both home and the assurance that anyone is waiting for their return.

Homebody

A filmographic essay featuring lines from "Bonedog" by Eva H.D. A pathos on memory, travelogue consciousness and the divets remaindered from environmental displacement.

O Abissal

Tears in Rain

Digital images decomposing in rain-like effects. A visual poem, trying to capture the poetics of a cinematic rain shower into the structure of its images. Still images from the 1982 science fiction film noir classic Blade Runner become animated, a frozen memory of two lovers is washed away in time.

Light

A university professor on the verge of divorce and a new life is confronted with encounters that make him doubt his desires — and reality.

Mudpuppy

A reflection on loss and nature’s quiet observance in a small nook of the Ozarks. 

the poem exists, the book does not

In this short from James Knight, a collection of Paul Celan's poetry is subjected to an electrical atomisation. Its words are severed from their material form. Knight composes through decomposition, pages disintegrate and reintegrate, and all the while the traces of their words remain fixed.

M. P.

A woman is tormented by a strange entity and someone else.

De Wind

Migajas

Fed up with surviving on social crumbs, he takes a surreal flight to find a hidden truth. In a dull world, we need color, but what if this colorful idealization turns against you?

Regard Silence

“I love poetry because it makes me feel like my mind expands.” In Regard Silence, that's the very first sentence expressed—in sign language of course. Watching the poems signed by deaf people in this film has a similarly mind-expanding effect. That’s because sign language—the Mexican version in this case—is a very different means of communication than written or spoken language.

A haiku film poem. the early morning waiting for the monks. the voices. the fire. the wat drum.
