Are they nostalgic for a fascism they didn’t live through? Are they reacting aggressively to an economic crisis which has struck Europe heavily? They seem stupid but they are also evil. Are they only isolated groups or is there an international movement run by a political parties?

USSR
Feature film
Far away from the positive heroes and artificial reality of the traditional Soviet cinema, this is the portrait of a young “rebel without a cause” in Leningrad. This film was selected because of its visual strength and its originality. We take a bike-ride through a n unconventional universe, hidden for a long time in the Soviet Union.

Fiction
A young Uruguayan wakes up to find an empty city. The image is an allegory for a country, which is submerged, which is emptying. The story is told in a dream-like, sometimes humorous style, which uses little dialogue but very effective music, sound and visual language.

A chain reaction of force and energy through various domestic or discarded objects: car tires, ladders, buckets, plastic bags and tins crate their own dynamic. An exercise in kinetics, where sound plays a key role in continuity and recycling ...literally re-inventing the wheel.
