Synopsi
A foley artist creates sounds for a film starring a dressage horse and dissolves into his own imitation. The film reflects on the boundaries between the human and the animal as well as on fictional gender roles and their transcendence. Shot on 16 mm film, Passage alludes to Eadweard Muybridge’s pre-cinematic experiments with horses.

The Skin Collective is created by dancers, actors & video artists from Germany, France, Greece & Chile to draw connections between body & environment. Sehen is an absurd, dystopian and dark perspective on social behaviours and agreements, an attempt to show the process of humans trying to be part of nature, merging with it and attacking themselves while nature is being destroyed.

Synopsi
Catalonia Premiere. The decision to work exclusively with naked male bodies responds to the need to explore another form of representativity within the audiovisual industry. Naked bodies that neither seduce nor sell, but resist, brush, hesitate. A choreography of insurgent presences that unravels the algorithms of desire and consumption, freeing the body from its social molds.

Synopsi
Spain Premiere. A young Bulgarian man, riding the endless rollercoaster of workouts, anonymous sex and dopamine, asks how to finally get off in a world where the body is everything. The film explores the obsession of queer men with their bodies as an object of desire, pleasure, and self-confidence and probes how the body is weaponized in fitness, sex, and hookup culture. Collecting footage from video games, 3D scans, online conversations and archive footage of the ideal male body, the film asks if it is possible to completely detach from our bodies in this supersexual culture.

Synopsi
Spain Premiere. Long time ago, dance was declared illegal. A resistance movement was created that clandestinely made digital films to recover the memory of that experience. They were produced with the first image-to-video generation algorithms, starting from digital photos that celebrated the power and beauty of dancing bodies, created by an anonymous artist. They circulated in secret form: most were discovered and destroyed, and their authors eliminated. A small archive survived in the form of partially restored fragments.
