Soap is an Illusion (Dirt: Part One) - David Finkelstein

Soap is an Illusion plunges the viewer into the volatility of our conflicting attractions to dirt and cleanliness. A collage of poetic imagery, music, and abstracted, incantatory language, the film follows two men in an excavation of our cultural soil. Their dialog gives rise to unexpected landscapes, populated by revengeful toasters, soap bubbles which fly on magic carpets, and other surprises. A postmodern video opera, Soap bathes the viewer in music and visual spectacle.

Does your hand shake, Vladimir? - Odveig Klyve

When a war is going on, the consequences are terrible for many civilians. Together with documentary scenes from the war in Ukraine, voices from all over the world are heard in this short film. They express their reaction to the war, by translating and reading a poem.
The Norwegian poet, Odveig Klyve, wrote this poem on March 14, 2022, the 19th day of the war, and published it on social media the same day. The poem was quickly shared several thousand times. Spontaneously people started to translate this poem, and it has now been translated into more than 100 different languages and dialects.

Demi-Goddesses - Martin Gerigk

‘Demi-Goddesses’ is the second essay about still dominant dark aspects of our modern society. It is conceived as a surreal anti-patriarchal thought experiment and raises important questions about gender, power, and social change, prompting us to reflect on how historical patterns of discrimination and oppression might be either repeated or overcome in a reversed gendered world. It challenges the viewer to confront their own assumptions and biases, and to consider the possibilities of a more equitable society.

Overall, the intention of the film is that it will spark conversations and inspire the viewer to imagine a world where gender is not a limiting factor. At best, the audience will leave the theater with a greater awareness of the issues and a sense of possibility for a just future.
