Das Meer (Italy) by Martina Mele
Fragments of the image of Switzerland in the 1970s and Italy in the 2000s alternate under the passage of moments of real life, of collective memory, reconstructing a family imaginary dissipated by time. Ties evolve, the event of death manifests itself silently, life flows under the eyes of a girl who still feels too small to understand who she wants to be.

Down to the Bottom (United States) by Carina Miller
An unflinching, 13-minute look at alcohol use disorder and it's impact. The short documentary pulls from conversations between a father and daughter recorded in 2022.

Listen to the Wallflowers (Norway) by Johanne Wilbrink
