Carried in Silence Competition Shorts and International Short Film Competition
Vilma Tihilä, 2023, FI, 11 min
Carried in Silence is an extract of a relation between a mother and a daughter. Through contemporary dance and classical music the film speaks about intergenerational trauma and suppressed emotions, carried in silence. The chain of generations is also reflected in the music of the film, composed by Isabella Leonarda in the 17th century – one of the few female composers of her era.

A weird cow boy wandering in a weird desert... By Thibaud Hénique
A tale about the aesthetic of violence in the media and the constant and crushing pressure of advertising to conform to an ideal. The mental distress when you are unable to reach an ideal that doesn’t belong to you.

Mimeisthai Out of Competition
Phoebe Robinson, 2023, AU, 16 min
Mimeisthai is an experimental screendance that responds to Walter Benjamin’s concept of the ‘mimetic faculty’, which is, the ability to perceive and/or reproduce similarity. This generic skill is possessed by all living things and finds expression on various levels, from the biological to the behavioral; such as in reproduction or camouflage, to the myriad ways that creatures communicate.
In Mimeisthai movements are shared, copied and repeated between performers both on and off-screen, and then amplified across multiple frames. Through duplication, repetition, and layering multiple exposures, this work explores the mimetic faculty of dance and digital video.
