OUT OF CHECKLIST, 26min., Czechia
Directed by Roman Němec
Twelve-year-old, hyper-rational David pays an unannounced visit to his father’s Prague apartment. Following a coming out and a subsequent divorce, his father lives alone and already has weekend plans. In a pinch, he convinces the only person available – a hook-up from Grindr – to look after David for the weekend. What could possibly go wrong?

GOSSAMER, 21min., UK
Directed by Hamish Sturgeon
Set between glamour and decay, Gossamer explores identity, memory, and transformation through a character caught between survival and self-expression. As past and present blur, a fragile alter ego emerges, revealing the delicate threads that hold a life together.
