Fačuk
Maida Srabovic | Croatia, Slovenia | 12
In a God-fearing village lying between two rivers, giving birth to a "fačuk"—an illegitimate child—is a mortal sin. Everyone in the village recoils from the young pregnant woman who is about to give birth at any moment. In this narrow-minded and harsh rural environment, fear grows inside her.
Homemade Gatorade
Carter Amelia Davis | US | 9
A woman embarks on a late night road trip to deliver homemade Gatorade to a mysterious online buyer.
Ploo
Jon Frickey | Germany | 15
As sine waves cycle endlessly, an aging vector tech store owner confronts mortality with help from a moth.
UM
Nieto | France | 8
The bird people have fallen into violent chaos, prey to a disturbing phenomenon: their eggs seem to be haunted by demonic faces. Their hatching seems to herald an imminent catastrophe...
What We Leave Behind
Jean-Sébastien Hamel, Alexandra Myotte | Canada | 11
Dan has a gaping hole in his neck that won't heal. Why? He can't remember, nor talk about it. Back in the sinister arena of his childhood, he must find the part of himself he once left behind that prevents him, now an adult, from being whole.
