A TWIST IN THE FABRIC OF SPACE
Niederlande 2012 – Director: Morgan Knibbe – Original language: None – Length: 27 min.
Birth. From the sea to the city that rhythmically trembles. Speed, movement, civilization. People in the city, in the houses. Television, YouTube… running and forever running. Man and woman meet. The stopping of time. The beginning. A visual intoxication. A trip with a pulsating rhythm, that is evocative of a human heartbeat. Nora Moschüring
Camera: David Boudestein. Sound: Vincent Sinceretti. Editing: Xander Nijsten. Music: Juho Nurmela. Production: Netherlands Film Academy. Producer: Beau van Assem, Alexander van Damme. International Sales: Netherlands Film Academy
BRING IT ON
Niederlande 2012 – Director: Laura Hermanides – Original language: Dutch – Subtitles: English – Length: 26 min.
Three people in their mid-twenties who sympathise with the Occupy movement attempt to integrate its idealism into their everyday lives. What is the meaning of money and consumption? What can you do without? What is important? Which priorities do you apply to your own life? Is this generation that grew up in luxury really ready to fight for something? Nora Moschüring

MY GOOD FORTUNE IN AUSCHWITZ
Niederlande 2012 – Director: Reber Dosky – Original language: Dutch – Subtitles: English – Length: 12 min.
An old violinist, Hajo Meyer (87) begins to tell his story. He speaks of Auschwitz and the atrocity he encountered there. But he also talks about Jos Slagter, his friend in Auschwitz. It is thanks to their friendship that Hajo managed to stay human amid all the inhumanity. The friendship gave him hope: simply, that one of them was there to make sure the other didn’t fall. Nora Moschüring

BE HARD OR GO UNDER
Niederlande 2012 – Director: Jona Honer – Original language: Dutch – Subtitles: English – Length: 13 min.
The establishment of social structures in the classroom: who is allowed to settle where in the hierarchies of youth? What begins harmlessly in this distanced, hidden observation of a class of young people, descends gradually and almost unnoticed into bullying among the schoolchildren. Completely unpretentious and genuine. Nora Moschüring
English/Original Title: Wie niet hard is is gezien. Writer: Jona Honer. Camera: Koen van Bergen. Sound: Tom Jansen, Sound Design: Claas Meier. Editing: Jelle Kuipers. Production: Netherlands Film Academy. Producer: Paul Overste.
