Slow Motions is an experimental short film that explores the boundaries of sound, image, and narrative fragments. Directed by Øivind Klungseth Zahlsen, a composer and filmmaker, and featuring Javanese vocalist Peni Candra Rini, known for her work with Kronos Quartet and contemporary experimental music, the film is a sensory journey into the abstract and the intangible. The narrative is built around a central rumour — that somewhere in Asia, on an empty beach, a tar-black, abandoned truck tire caught the last light of the day and became a sunset. This fragmented, poetic narrative challenges traditional storytelling by breaking it into moments of dissonance and cohesion, with each fragment resisting a traditional whole while coming together like a sonata. The film was shot using a mobile phone, a simple yet powerful tool that becomes a metaphor for human ambition. Just as the floating tire lying at the waters edge in the films beginning, suddenly starts yearning to merge with the eternal in longing to become the sunset, the mobile phone symbolizes humanity’s desire to reach the aesthetic boundaries of the infinite using the most ordinary and profane means at our disposal. In collaboration with Peni Candra Rini, whose vocal improvisations and poetry are deeply rooted in Javanese culture, the film’s score blends traditional elements with modern sound design, creating an atmosphere that speaks to both the intellect and the senses.

The film "A Film by Roland Wehap" is a work by the filmmaker of the same name, Roland Wehap, who, as a "one-man show filmmaker," challenges the concept itself by embarking on an extraordinary experiment: Is it possible to produce a short film with almost no budget entirely on your own? In this ultimate "one-man show," fiction and autobiographical elements merge into a biting satire about an uncompromising filmmaker. Driven by his relentless quest for fame, recognition, and the big breakthrough, he navigates the typical stages of a film career riddled with setbacks. For a brief moment, however, he basks in the glamour of the world stage: he creates a film about his sleeping cat, establishes his own film festival after being rejected by all the others, and even gains international attention. But it quickly becomes evident that fame and honor don’t always translate into financial success. In the end, one truth remains: a filmmaker has to make films—whatever the cost. AWARDS:

The documentary "Mantènnere" explores the cultural and social significance of traditional multipart singing in Santu Lussurgiu, Sardinia, focusing on transmitting this practice between two generations of singers. The 55-minute documentary follows the Cuncordu ’e su Rosariu, a singing group that has accompanied Holy Week rituals since the 1970s, and Sos Zovanos de Su Rosariu, a younger group gradually assuming this role. Set against the backdrop of the mediatization of traditional music, the film highlights the impact of numerous research campaigns conducted in the village from the 1980s to the present, which have shaped the evolving identity of these musical traditions. Told from the perspective of a Sardinian ethnomusicologist from this village, the film captures the intimate emotional connection to these sacred singing practices. "Mantènnere" ultimately examines how ritual, music-making, and community are interwoven, questioning how tradition is preserved and transformed in the face of external scholarly and media influences.

Dawns Meyn an Piberes is an 8 minute and 39 second film documenting the Merry Maidens and Pipers standing stones of West Penwith in Cornwall, UK. These Neolithic sites have been recorded using a process of direct contact with the stones themselves. This is a field recording practice that artist Paul Vivian has been undertaking since January 2023. Each film is both a document of the sites and an attempt to capture the essence of how one might encounter these unique ancient monuments. The film's audio is taken from the extensive body of recordings made in 2024 whilst working with the subjects in the film. 'Dawns Meyn' (Dancing Stones) is the original Cornish name of the Merry Maidens stone circle and 'an Piberes', is The Pipers in Cornish dialect. Dawns Meyn an Piberes continues the series of films shot in 4k collating this important body of audio captured at Neolithic sites across the UK.
