Kilian Brons | Live-Action | 15’45’’
During World War I, de Dodendraad ("The Wire of Death") divided neutral Netherlands from occupied Belgium. On a small farm along this border, a humble Dutch farmer struggles to maintain his peaceful life. With the horrors of war drawing closer, turning a blind eye becomes harder with each passing day.
Deniz Arikan | Live-Action | 20’00’’
In Rotterdam, a city rebuilt from memory and shaped by modernity, two architects meet for a single day. Daniel, a local, is assigned to guide Emre, a visitor from Istanbul, through the city's landmarks. What begins as a professional tour gradually reveals their differences in freedom, identity and belonging, almost as if Rotterdam and Istanbul themselves were meeting for a day.
