Live Life
Animation | Israel | 2007 | Jonathan Pasternak | 6'
The plague is upon Europe and is causing fear and horror. Only the gravedigger is lustily singing his song, as he’s sure of work. But where to put all the corpses when the cemetery is full? Life and its ending is presented here as a country song as dark as it is humorous.
Esperando Mujeres
Waiting For Women
Documentary | Spain | 2008 | Estephan Wagner | 34'
A village without women – and men close to desperation! This documentary film follows a few eccentric gentlemen in their efforts to organise a dance to entice women to visit the village. Scarcely have the women arrived, then it’s all on. After so many years of abstinence, the gentlemen have no time to lose.

Four-Seater
Feature Film | Germany | 2008 | Thorsten Wenning | 28'
The protagonists of this film, Bine, Sofie, Max and Rolf, have two things in common: they are in their mid-thirties and, each in their own way, doesn’t see any sense in suffering the absurdity of life any longer. In the face of their collective suicide, however, cracks and tensions within the group emerge, which make the characters as well as the audience think again.
FASL
Disconnection
Feature Film | Iran | 2008 | Mahmood Noori | 12'
In calm images, this film tells of an elderly man seeking to be personally close to his children. His flat is full of the most up-todate communications technology, yet he is isolated. Instead of connecting him to the world, his mobile and his computer stand between him and other people.
