A Black & White Dream, 17min., Iran
Directed by Mohsen Koranian
In a ruined amusement park where bread is a luxury, a desperate mother struggles to save her starving children. In a monochrome world where gold and stone look the same, value has lost meaning. Finding a golden rock, she begins a surreal journey to buy a mythical blue tangerine. In a world where no one knows what deserves value, the line between human and animal disappears.

Knight’s Memory, 3min., Greece
Directed by Natasha Smyrnaiou
The Chessboard, the Battle, the Time.
A leaf falls in every move… and if you catch it, you might recognize what you’ve lost.
A move of doubt.. and the knight with the broken head remains in place.
In memory, time does not pass.
On the chessboard, silence is never defeated.

Dracella, 8min., USA
Directed by Brian Smith
In a late-night eatery, Donovan, a besotted admirer, waits for Dracella, a mysterious and alluring vampire. As he watches her from afar, he’s drawn to her dark allure. When a man threatens Dracella, she reveals her true nature, feasting on him while Donovan looks on, yearning to be by her side. Despite being ignored by Dracella, Donovan remains enthralled, vowing to return, waiting for his chance to join her world of darkness.
