Entropy

The vast Greenlandic ice sheet has been created over thousands of years but today climate change is threatening the close and sacred connection between the land moulded by ice and the Inuit who live there.

Greenland; 10 minutes

 

Square the Circle

A little circular film about one person’s round trip out to the (un)known universe and into themselves, in search of a sense of belonging. An attempt to do the impossible: look into infinity, accept the perpetual passing of time, survive a long dark winter or find one’s own place when you don't quite fit in. 

Finland; 18 minutes

 

A Moment You Will Remember

Vera, 13, engages in self-harm and ends up in the emergency room. There seems to be a surmountable distance between mother and daughter. Is it possible for them to re-connect?

Sweden; 15 minutes

 

Looped

A love so strong it enables time travel.

Sweden; 8 minutes

 

How to Please

Iraqi refugee Wed Al-Asadi tells his story how he got stuck in the Finnish asylum system. He tries his best to get through the bureaucratic maze but realizes getting out becomes even more difficult than getting in.

Finland; 28 minutes
