The Beats of Nomads, 3min., China
Directed by Jing JI, Guanzhen GAO
The Beats of Nomads is an experimental short film that explores spiritual drifting and identity uncertainty in a world, where belief systems have lost their cohesion. Rather than depicting nomadism as a form of geographic movement, the film approaches it as a psychic condition, a state of being compelled to move without the promise of a certain destination.Structured through three non-linear chapters (Horse, Braid, and God).
Deaf to Happiness, 70min., India
Directed by Dhruv Vyas
A writer is trapped in a world where time is broken, memories do not exist, and nothing feels real. His hand moves against his will, endlessly writing something unseen while his mind fights for meaning. Desperate, he begins writing a story, one that must not end in tragedy.
