Various Authors

Various languages and subtitles

Every year about 60 works (selected from more than 5 000 submitted films) take part in the oldest competition of short films in the world. During the Slovak premiere – and the only screening in Bratislava – we bring you some of the most interesting films of the international competition 2020. Film ((((((((/ * \)))))))) is  a portrait of a village in Mexican Chiapas, its culture, sounds and architecture. Indigenous culture is an important part of the film O Jardin Fantástico. In the film BELLA by Thelyie Beltraki the borders between fiction and documentary film blur, as Greece of the 80s, world and intimate life of the main idealistic heroine Anthi change in front of her eyes. In the film Gira Ancora a teenager wanders around his neighborhood in Palermo. The camera lets us – in the tradition of neorealism – take part in his life and the life of his community – but simultaneously shows us how rumors about his mother slowly make him an outsider.
