SCALES – THE TIPPING POINT, 40min., South Africa
Directed by Bruce Young
Bruce Young is a deeply curious filmmaker from South Africa who is fascinated by pangolins, an animal on the edge of extinction. Scales is his third film about the animal. This time he is on a personal quest to find out why these quiet, shy, harmless, and yet charismatic little creatures are the most trafficked mammals on the planet. And if there is any hope that they will survive.

What Wine Owes to the Night, 2min., Belgium
Directed by Mathieu Blanchart
In the silent darkness, the vines whisper, the leaves quiver, and the earth still breathes. What the Wine Owes the Night is a visual and sensory poem, an intimate dive into the nocturnal life of a vineyard. With little or no dialogue, the film captures breaths, fleeting lights, and unseen presences that watch over the land as humans withdraw.

Soap&Skin – Girl Loves Me, 4min., Austria
Directed by Ioan Gavriel, Anja Franziska Plaschg
To look at the outside world from your hideout, while madness reigns around you. Emotionally in the thick of it, yet fully paralyzed and sinking into inaction. Spinning and spiraling.
A harbor, a safe place, yet a deadly prison at the same time.
