Film programme of the 67th edition of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen

These six works between black box and white cube make use of very unusual aesthetics and techniques. Pole Žin shows the development of the North Bohemian landscape and the efforts to implement utopian ideas. {if your bait can sing the wild one will come} Like Shadows Through Leaves is an artistic exploration that rethinks relationships between culture and climate change. Széphercegnő is a simulation that describes the conflict between one's own movements and inevitable limitations.

Un très long temps d'exposition discovers and connects images and narratives of world and private history. With her simultaneously analytical composition of chains of image motifs, Chloé Galibert-Laîné makes visible the political-ideological dimension of technological imaging processes. Doors of Reception is a collage of door sounds from various science fiction films that create an abstract sound painting of opening and closing colour fields Finally, Before the fall there was no fall. Episode 02: surfaces shows how historical traces manifest themselves in Srebrenica and how gradually fading graffiti evoke a mural of testimony.
