UWD Competition Shorts and International Short Film Competition
Myriam Verreault, Brigitte Poupart, 2023, CA, 18 min
Until We Die is a poetic film, set in a devastated world where collective disorder is the precondition for survival. Eloquently moving bodies replace the spoken word and reveal the bruised characters, haunted by a past sweeter than the crumbling world they find themselves in.
This film is part of the online program but accessible only in the Netherlands.
1,2 and their cigs (3,4) Competition Shorts and Out of Competition
Laura Carnevali, 2023, IT, 1 min
We don't know what happened but dancer 1 and dancer 2 need to take a break, smoke a cigarette and just vent to each other. The conversation heats more and more until the movie itself becomes a dance following the words we can't hear. Winner of La Danza in 1 minuto, presented in collaboration with Coorpi Turin.
D3C05 Out of Competition
Blaze Gonzalez, Hannah Gaengler, 2021, US, 4 min
D3C05 is a sci-fi love letter to Miami’s Art Deco architecture. The film takes the idea of optimistic futurism and reimagines the concept within a neo-human world, where the boundaries between human, nature, and object coalesce; a world where synesthetic communication and performative rituals reign.
