The Body Dissolver (Country: Poland; Year: 2023; Director: Dominik Ritszel)
Professional boxers recall the moment they were knocked out, revealing recurring fantasies about the abandonment of the body and visions of ecstasy, exploited in various spiritual discourses and pop-culture alike.
Ever Since, I Have Been Flying (O Gün Bu Gündür, Uçuyorum) (Country: Switzerland; Year: 2023; Director: Aylin Gökmen)
A 60-year-old man who grew up in a nomadic tribe in the mountains of southeast Turkey recalls moments from his youth.
Loving In Between (Country: Sweden, Austria; Year: 2023; Director: Jyoti Mistry)
Between birth and death is the power to love and live. Political rules, religious orders, social norms and cultural taboos control who we love and how we love. But the erotic has the power to emancipate.
Matta And Matto (Matta Und Matto) (Country: Switzerland; Year: 2023; Director: Bianca Caderas, Kerstin Zemp)
In a dystopian world where touch is forbidden, Matta and Matto offer refuge to the lonely at Hotel Vaip. In the deceptive labyrinth of mind-bending rooms, deepest desires are fulfilled, but at what price?
Patient (Country: US; Year: 2023; Director: Lori Felker)
Fiction, reality, the private and the performed overlap on a routine but emotional day at a medical centre.
