We Sock – End of the world, 2min., Finland,
Directed by Petri Puroaho
I created a web series with my spouse in 2020 to pass the time while living in long distance relationship, and then the process started to have a life of its own and became bigger than us. Our web series ”We Sock” was originally mainly recorded on Skype -sessions mixed with other footage. After several seasons and a feature film, we are soon starting to launch again a brand new season (5) for our webseries and a feature film to go with it, entitled We Sock – End of the world”. This time our journey takes us outside our Skype-“box” more than ever before, starting from the shooting location in South-America, where mega-blockbuster film-production turns the faith of Mr “Indyana” Sock Jones. And this teaser-trailer shows what happened and what will happen next.

Black / White & the “Other Colours”, 1min., Turkey
Directed by Doğa Yılmaz
A man gets ready to go out. When he steps outside and integrates into society, he becomes a different person. While walking, he sees a woman he knows, and both of them pause, exchanging a gaze before continuing on their paths. When they turn back and exchange glances again, the man changes. The woman, however, continues exploring the city streets. In the evening, as she returns home, she sees a man, different from the one she previously encountered, sitting on the stairs, drinking wine. The woman transforms and sits next to the man. They spend some time drinking wine together. As the hours pass, both of them transform into completely different individuals. They observe the view and walk hand in hand on the streets. When they arrive home, both of them transform once again. They make love and fall asleep. In the early morning, two men are lying in bed. The character we previously saw as masculine gets up and goes to the bathroom. As he bends down to wash his face, he transforms. When he stands up, he becomes a man we haven’t seen before. When he bends down again, the woman’s identity looks at herself in the mirror.
