Synopsis

Of almost 500 submissions, the 11 best, which were chosen by the curators Arash and Arman T. Riahi,  will be shown in competition. A whole range of other outstanding works will also be screened – outside the competition and within different thematic sections – as was done in previous years of the Festival. What all the shorts have in common is the desire for a human, fair and happy existence not at all lacking in that one special thing... (All you need is) love. Come, watch, enjoy!

The following films are presented:

Playfellows

(Játszótársak)

HUN 2014 | 18 min.

Language: Hungarian w. Engl. ST

Director: Ábel Visky

Máté is a successful photographer and kind of a macho. Éva is not only his assistant, but also his new girlfriend. With subtle mind games, they try to make each other jealous. Needless to say that this can’t go well. 

The Rooster

RUS 2015 | 20 min.

Language: Russian w. Engl. ST

Director: Alexey Nuzhny

Anya is trying to commit suicide, because she can’t cope with the death of her husband. At that very moment, a rooster lands right in front of her feet. The woman believes to recognise her husband’s soul in the feathered animal. A refreshing, absurd love story.

Mario was watching the Sea with Love

(Mario je gledal morje z zaljubljenimi očmi)

 SLO 2014 | 12 min

Language: Slovenian w. Engl. ST

Director: Svetlana Dramlić

Crane operator Mario lives on an idyllic island. He is not a man of many words and tries to escape his work – at least in his mind – during these monotone times. It is especially the camera work that makes this film simply marvellous.

(Smiech w Ciemnosci)

POL 2014 | 14 min.

Language: Polish w. Engl. ST

Director: Marta Trela

A man and his quite young girlfriend spend a few days in a cabin in the woods. Despite the remote location and the isolation from others, he cannot handle his jealousy. A bleak drama with a tormenting, mysterious atmosphere.
