In search of lost time, 7min., USA
Directed by Marta Renzi
A man and a woman inhabit the same surreal location though not, apparently, at the same time. Marta Renzi directs this black-and-white meditation on memory and absence, joined by long-time collaborators Charles Caster-Dudzick (camera), as well as Aislinn MacMaster & David Thomson (performers). With a nod to the sound score for Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker and a location inspired by Joelle Bouvier and Regis Obadia’s La Chambre.

OUTSIDER, 2min., China
Directed by Shuo Liu
The magic between ‘frames’ acts on clay, making the table a contradictory object that can be both soft and hard. Some people embrace it, while others do not. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, right or wrong, only how we engage with the world.

The Image of The Fox, 4min., USA
Directed by Alec Iselin
The Image of The Fox is a film that explores the transformations of a mysterious gray matter as it constructs and deconstructs haunting sculptures

Spelonk unfolds in a dystopian Cape Town in the year 2044, a world ravaged by climate collapse and social upheaval. At its heart is Dante, a disillusioned bounty hunter, grappling with the moral dilemmas of his task to hunt rebels fighting over scarce water supplies. His fateful encounter with Ophelia, a rebel leader with secrets that could change the world, sets the stage for a thrilling, emotional journey of redemption and revolution.

Inspired by South Africa’s “Day Zero” water crisis, the film’s themes resonate globally, addressing pressing issues like climate change, resource inequality, and moral leadership in times of crisis. Spelonk blends local folklore, steampunk aesthetics, and intense action to craft a narrative that is both culturally authentic and universally relevant.

Director Statement
The world of Spelonk is one which we seldom see on
screens. The beautiful Cape Town that we know and
love, is transformed as the backdrop of the futuristic
apocalyptic film. The population has been broken
into tribes, clans, groups of people that stay
together to survive, based on functional needs.
Spelonk draws inspiration from diverse African
cultures, languages, and topical matters. I love the
African patterns, colours, and designs. Ancient
weapons, diverse fighting styles, unique costumes
and rich folk tales are the things I’m working with to
create the distant world of Spelonk. It is exciting to
create this action-packed futuristic movie, showing
for the first time post-apocalyptic South Africa.

Festival goes LIVE at 8pm EST today (Saturday May 31st)

Watch the film HERE: https://www.wildsound.ca/events/the-painters-of-the-future-winning-doc-feature

Directed by Kurt Poersch

Those who stayed constantly talk about the future.

Every other house in Freimfelde, a former working-class neighbourhood, is empty. The lack of jobs, the absence of local suppliers, and the presence of decay are long-term effects of structural decline: in these parts of former Eastern Germany, the reunification of 1989 led to the closures of vital companies, caused high unemployment rates, and resulted in massive out-migration.

In Freiimfelde, people’s sense of the present is challenged by two absent levels of time: the no-longer of the past, which everybody remembers differently, and the not-yet of a future – fragile and in contradiction to the municipality’s vision of the seemingly empty neighbourhood.

An intimate portrait of five residents, “The Painters of the Future” examines current living conditions in Freiimfelde, tensions between post-industrialization and gentrification, and the ubiquitous call to “participate” in urban development.
