A program with short films full of wonderful discoveries with a dark edge. Like Vampires, It’s Nothing to Laugh at, a mix of archive images and performance that challenges the relationship between experienced reality and scientific truth. In love at first byte, surveillance images from the London subway of passenger 061651774505 are transformed into a love story, with the help of AI.

The Waiting is a moving animated film about the disappearance of frog breeds from Central American rainforests. The short fiction film 68.415 takes us to a world without food, overgrown by plastic.


TALK Laurens Landeweerd (Radboud Universiteit) will tell us about the social impact of research publications and the responsibility of scientists to tame your own curiosity or limit the expansion of knowledge.

In a world without food and overgrown with plastic, Zigle Clinic tests a new food re-education Method, which is coveted by many but granted to few. Giulia is one of the patients chosen by the Clinic. Even if she is fearful at first, she gets increasingly involved and joins the group sessions under the guidance of Isotta, the exuberant nurse.

Vampires, It’s Nothing to Laugh at

Vampires, It’s Nothing to Laugh at

In the 1960s, an anthropologist thinks he has discovered the existence of a vampire woman in a Kashub community in Wilno, Ontario. Filmmaker Kinga Michalska returns to the village still recovering from the trauma of this coverage, using a skilful blend of archival footage and performance to question the relationship between lived reality and scientific ‘truth’.
