Hampshire Road With one 7-minute take, the film examines the architecture of a single building in Singapore to underscore how space is constructed and utilised to monitor and channel migrant workers onto buses back to dormitories.

Land Of The Sons Civilisation is coming to an end. The death of his only relative gives a feral boy the pretext to journey beyond the confines of his home environment; only by doing this will he be able to decipher his father's journal, the most valuable artefact in his legacy. This singular contribution to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre tells of a humanity in crisis, while at the same time conveying the adventurous spirit of adolescence.

The Accent An adult educator arrives in the small-town factory with loads of books, energy and a freshly received diploma. The honest young man with dreamy eyes humanises the life of the plant, in a way distributing himself among people.

Chris Young: Buoyant Mon Chris Young is able to take real-life experiences and turn them into laughs that maintain a clean but funny appearance. Chris’s luck (or lacks there of) have lead him to look at the world through a different set of glasses. Having once been called a pessimist by a fellow classmate "he replied simply, that he is not a pessimist but an optimist, as he believes things could not get any worse!”

Big Fish A sperm whale is lying by the Vistula River in Warsaw. This absurd situation stirs and mobilizes the local community and tourists who gather by the riverbank. On one hand, the whale is a metaphor for the disruption of the ecological system, but at the same time, it's a medium to study people’s reactions to the death of a huge mammal. We observe a sociological portrait of the audience. People speculate and wonder, offer help or ask questions. The sperm whale appeals to everyone, regardless of their social or cultural background. The movie is a complicated riddle. It depicts how close we are to a man-made ecological disaster – what more needs to happen to stop global pollution?

You're Dead To Me By trailing a solitary character who roams the land and communes with the dead, the film serves as an elegy to a richly layered site on the verge of rupture.
