Neon Phantom
Leonardo Martinelli, 2021, BR, 20 min, 9+
João works on the streets of Rio de Janeiro as a delivery driver in the so-called gig economy. He and his friend dream of buying a motorbike, travelling around the country and turning their lives into a musical. However, their operatic and beautifully choreographed fantasy collides with the harsh reality of low wages, unsympathetic customers and constant threats. Neon Phantom is a thought-provoking short film about inequality and imbalance of power in zero-hour contract employment.

Pantelleria
Masbedo, 2022, IT, 21 min, 9+
Between 9 May and 11 June 1943, the island of Pantelleria was violently bombarded by the Allied troops to reconquer Italian soil. Residents recall that, after the surrender, some of the buildings were blown up for the cameras of a propaganda combat film. Pantelleria traces the memories of this event in the local collective consciousness and looks at the contemporary implications of an episode that took place in the shadow of official history. Through a two-years long participatory process with the residents, the film explores the tension between the truth and its ideological distortion, between the reality of the bombs and their telling through images. The Nervi hangar, a symbol of Mussolini’s militarisation of the island, is now shown empty and inhabited by a magical animal presence. Extracts from the combat film are projected onto the buildings of today’s Pantelleria, while the camera travels through the bunkers dug by the Italian army. The voiceover, written and read by writer Giorgio Vasta, gives expressive form to the island’s stories, while the sound by GUP Alcaro and Davide Tomat distorts the recordings of the local orchestra Spata. In the liberating final dance scene, there is room for the reactivation of the past and redemption in the present.

Solace
Marrit Bausch, Margit Odems, Gemma Rijnders, and Anna van Veen, 2022, NL, 11 min, 9+
In Solace, three people strive to grasp the meaning of their lives, while trying to latch on to each other. We follow their attempts to find a place of consolation, while the world around them rages on. As time passes, it seems inevitable to surrender to a downfall, only to awaken to the realisation that this feeling is more common than you might expect.
