Synopsis:
The river Senne was the reason for the origin of Brussels. But after decades of overuse, she was deemed to be too polluted to be left open to the public and so she was buried under the city where she remains as the city's little secret. As I, the filmmaker, try to look for a space where the Senne flows uncovered through the city, I encounter people who help me understand how to treat a secret that I have kept buried inside me.

Synopsis:
After the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, many people started to dream about Putin. And they shared these dreams in the media. Over 1000 dreams about Putin are documented. This film is an attempt to reflect on the theme of repression through a combination of found footage and 3D game animation made in Unreal Engine in order to portray the authentic dreams of those affected by the war and explore the theme of the collective unconscious in society.
By Anna Gyimesi (Hungary) • 16' • 2023
Synopsis:
To get on with her life, Els, a mother in her forties has to accept her adult daughter's decision to ask for psychiatric euthanasia.
