Mei Ling


Dir: Stéphanie Lansaque
France - 2009
Mei Ling, an idle young Chinese girl, lives alone in her apartment waiting for her lover. One day she discovers a tiny octopus hidden in the kitchen sink and decides to adopt it to escape from her boredom... but the octopus grows.

This Is Japan!


Dir: Eric Testroete
Canada - 2009
A chaotic tapestry of still images, combined with the frenetic pop sound of LCD Soundsystem, creates a truly breathtaking and bewildering evocation of modern day Japan.

Chick


Dir: Michał Socha
Poland - 2008
A humorous true-life story about male-female relations. Infatuation and its consequences are depicted in an ironic way: meeting a guy, dancing, having fun, a sexual act.

Playing Hard To Get


Dir: Tim Bullock
Australia - 2001
Musicians in a jazz quartet dispute the attention of a beautiful lady in a bar, playing their instruments to the limit.

Lost Paradise


Dir: Mihal Brezis & Oded Binnun
Israel - 2009
A man and a woman are tenderly making love in a cheap hotel room. When a moment later they are both dressing up, the idyll that seamed authentic is now gone.

Bye Bye, C'est Fini


Dir: Tora Mårtens
Sweden - 2009
Who says the fun stops just because you get older? Not 73-year-old Lina Merceis, who leisurely strolls the beaches of Rio De Janeiro by day and entertains scores of young lovers by night. Unrestricted by the tradition of monogamous relationships or marriage, Lina’s carefree lifestyle disproves preconceptions on aging.

Voyage D'Affaires


Dir: Sean Ellis
France - 2008
A man on a business trip checks into a hotel room and embarks on a strange adventure.

The Ganzfeld Procedure


Dir: Keith McCarthy
United Kingdom - 2009
One of the BBC New Music Shorts inspired 'Dog Days Are Over' by Florence and the Machine, this film delves into the blossoming of an out of body romance between two experiment subjects.
