500.000 Years

One evening in Lampang, at the archeological site where a homoerectus fossil was found 17 years ago, an outdoor cinema truck stops to screen a film as an offering to the ancient ghost. During the screening, something unexpected happens.

(Country: Thailand; Year: 2016; Director: Chai Siris)

Green Screen Gringo

Review preview for Green Screen Gringo

Cinema at its most inventively audacious.

Andrew Robertson · 4.5 out of 5
Behind a green screen, a foreigner finds his way in an enchanting - and yet turbulent - Brazil. Where the streets are a stage for politics, art and affection, a gringo can only watch.

(Country: Netherlands, Brazil; Year: 2016; Director: Douwe Dijkstra)

Not Even Nothing Can Be Free Of Ghosts

No motion pictures meet the retina, but instead, impulses and waves of pure light. The extreme light-dark intervals incessantly vary, climaxing in a black-and-white stroboscope storm. Abstract "ghost beings" become manifest in digital "nirvana."

(Country: Austria, Germany; Year: 2016; Director: Rainer Kohlberger)

Samedi Cinema

Two young cinephiles in Northern Senegal hatch a plan before their cinema closes down forever.

(Country: Senegal; Year: 2016; Director: Mamadou Dia)

Three Dimensions Of Time14

Three moments in time are captured in three layers of coloured imagery shown simultaneously. Combined, the layers form normal full colour images of the elements which persist through time.

(Country: Netherlands, Russia; Year: 2016; Director: Pim Zwier)
