 Cosmonauts
On an intergalactic sex cruise for the lonely, Delfino, Zenf, and Rita go in search of connection amongst the stars; be it love, lust or BDSM. |
.jpg) The Last Spring
A quietly moving tale of two teenage girls, Marion and Camille, on a school trip of firsts, lasts and adolescent freedom. As the summer dwindles, so too does innocence, on a path to adulthood lit with dreamlike style and cutting realism. |
 Take Care
Pure delight and wonder flow through scenes of women letting go and embracing playful self-care. A joyful reminder to carve out a little time in our day for authentic connection, shared pleasure and showing love for one another. |

The discovery of a caterpillar by a distracted office worker triggers a surreal, domestic odyssey through time, nostalgia, and everyday encounters. |
.jpg) Trading Cards
As neon surrealism encroaches on time and space, a man confronts his younger self over a game of trading cards, exploring lived experiences of living with obsessive compulsive disorder through the guise of dark, psychological fantasy. |
 Venezia Diorama
Merging exquisite pencil animation with archival photography, the story of an aging city unfolds under the camera. Quiet yet utterly absorbing, Nicolas Piret evokes a profound sense of fragility in our ever-changing urban landscapes. |
.jpg) Mnema
Watch as Mnema tries to escape a world of digital twists and turns, in a video game which embodies the misogynistic industry of its making. Using real-life testimonies of women in gaming, Mnema symbolises the resiliance of women in the face of advertisty and systematic oppression. |
.jpg) Uka-uka
When a bored little boy hides from his grandparents in the boot of their car, his selfish intent turns into a cautionary tale for attention seeking and the punishments karma may choose to inflict. |
 PLEASE
Through an assortment of odd yet tender vignettes, we see the spectrum of messy beauty in our human desire to love and be loved, from the neediness of a constant cuddle to the unexpected devastation of a solo supermarket shop. |
