MIHI: At the center of our gaze, 15min., France
Directed by Cyril Durand-Gasselin
Introspection is a mental activity which can be described metaphorically as the act of “looking inside” oneself, through a form of attention paid to one’s own sensations, states or thoughts. In psychology, this is the inner knowledge we have of our perceptions, actions, emotions and knowledge, which is different from that which an outside observer might have.

ANANKE, 25min,. UK
Directed by Catherine Boltens-Barinoff
Ananke is a drama short film, which artistically depicts addiction through metaphorical personification as a mysterious lover and friend, Ananke. The relationship that the protagonist, Juliana, builds with Ananke mirrors the abusive relationship that one can have with substance abuse, where the euphoria is so dazzling it replaces ambition and independence. In the short film, we explore how one, who suffers from a lack of support and loneliness, can give away everything to feel wholesome. Film attracts attention to the issue of increased illicit drug use in LGBTQ+ communities, specifically in females.
