The short films:
Just Jools
Jools dreams of dancing without shame. But how do you do that? Everything changes when she meets Yorrith, a choreographer who challenges her to push her limits. Portrait of a girl who no longer wants to be watched, but to be seen.
Autokar
In the 1990s, eight-year-old Agata leaves Poland on a bus to Belgium, all by herself. When writing a letter to her father, her pencil drops and rolls away. Agata weaves her way between the seats and plunges into a fantastical world inhabited by strange half-human, half-animal passengers.
The Wiels Marsh
A natural haven for urban wildlife. For a hundred years, this “Garden of Fairies” was owned by a brewery, and today real estate projects are lying in wait. Volunteers who cherish the place, have their say in this animated documentary.
Underneath my Shell
After her parents' divorce, Rosa goes on a camping trip with her father. They speak little; each keeps to himself in his own shell. Until a dramatic event forces them to break the silence. Will they find their way back to each other, or will the forest hide their secret forever?
