- THE SPRAYER (Iran 2022; 9 min)
In the land occupied by the sprayers’ army, no one has the right to grow any plant. Despite the general lack of knowledge of plants, one of the soldiers finds a seed buried deep in the dust. This discovery sparks the soldier's curiosity, which leads to something extraordinary, even revolutionary.
- THE THINGS TO COME (Spain 2022; 19 min)

- IN THE END WE'RE ALL MUSIC (Germany 2024; 13 min)
Under the roof of an indoor swimming pool, the stories of three different women coincide: the little girl Lilo, the businesswoman Kira, and the retiree Frida all come to the swimming pool to challenge themselves. In the microcosm of the swimming hall, they each discover what it means to be strong in their own way.
- METEORITES (France 2023; 4 min)
On a cool summer night, animals with eyes full of light leave the forest to venture into the alleys of a suburban neighbourhood. Four children sneak out of their beds, and stars begin to fall from the sky. By the morning everything will have changed, but for now let's run!
- LIP VIRGIN (Israel 2023; 11 min)
A 13-year-old girl imagines her first kiss in a very romantic and detailed manner. But, just like all important life events, it isn’t what she expects. Her pursuit of the perfect first kiss becomes a journey of disillusionment.
- YUCK! (France 2023; 13 min)
Yuck! Couples kissing on the mouth are gross. And the worst is, you can’t miss them: when people are about to kiss, their lips become all pink and shiny. Little Léo laughs at them, but in reality he desperately wants to give kissing a try.
- XIAOHUI AND HIS COWS (China 2023; 15 min)
Except for mountain landscapes, magical rocks, and a few other kids, the village where Xiaohui lives with his grandfather and two cows has nothing to offer. The nine-year-old sorely misses his parents who work in the city. When grandpa has to sell a calf, the clever grandson tries everything to prevent the separation of mother and child.
- RAINBOY (Switzerland 2023; 5 min)
Rainboy isn't a common gardener. He plants drops and grows clouds. While working he injures the vain sun. Revenge! The prognosis for the boy is bleak, but he teams up with the clouds and thus manages to brighten the sun's spirits again.
