Resonance in the Castle, 17min., USA
Directed by Brandon Katcher
A mysterious castle breathes with light and color, drawing all who enter into its shifting embrace. Stained glass spills vivid hues across ancient stone, golden reflections dance over strange artifacts, and ethereal performances flare up like living paintings. Surreal, electric, and unbound by space or time. Musicians, dancers, and performance artists bring their visions to life, each performance casting a ripple, before fading into the ether. A place of mystery and spectacle, this living museum exists only in the moment it is seen, leaving behind only echoes. Here, the castle is not a place but a state of mind, a dream in motion, inviting us to lose ourselves within its walls.

Stamino, 11min., Czech Republic
Directed by Marie-Anna Šulc
Stamino drifts through fatigue and the quiet rituals of nourishment and recovery, always accompanied by vulnerability, the urge to heal, and a wry gaze toward a culture obsessed with the body and its perfection. It moves between closeness and distance, frustration and renewal, tracing the edges of what it means to live in a body that aches, adapts, and resists. Beneath it all runs a longing for meaning, for connection, for transformation, within the slow and uncertain struggle of becoming.

The Afternoon of a Faun, 2min., Japan
Directed by Fuyubi Kusamori
“L’Après-midi d’un Faune” emerges as a contemporary digital meditation on Debussy’s timeless masterpiece, itself born from Stéphane Mallarmé’s symbolist poem of 1865. This music video transcends conventional boundaries, weaving electronica and noise music into a sonic tapestry that honors the impressionist legacy while boldly venturing into uncharted territories of sound.

Café Kuba: Who Dared to Awaken the Dead Memory, 28min,. Congo
Directed by David Shongo
At its core, Café Kuba explores Kinshasa through the silent presence of a mobile coffee vendor navigating the vibrant streets of the Bandal district. Filmed after the M23 rebel group’s capture of Goma, as they threatened Kinshasa, the film portrays a city on the brink of conflict. David Shongo avoids framing the vendor as a conventional protagonist. Instead, his silence becomes his strength—absorbing and reflecting the city’s tensions, frustrations, and private conversations.

Khimairas of the Kinesphere, 9min., USA
Directed by Eric Souther, Kelsey Paschich
Khimairas of the Kinesphere explores the extension of the mediated body. Human movement choreographed for digital avatars which work as sites for artificially generated images. The crises of climate change demands a hybridization and reexamination of the relationship between humans and nature, a redesign, a second nature. We are forced to reimagine our co-existence and our role in shaping the future.

The plaza of time, 11min., China
Directed by Xinyuan He
