Kazneni udarac Penalty Shot
Rok Biček, Croatia, Slovenia, 2021,15'

Two best friends spend an afternoon on a football field, dreaming of making it onto the local team.

Das Spiel The Game
Roman Hodel, Switzerland, 2020, 17'

 A whistle. It gets loud in the spectator stands. The players protest angrily. The commentators follow the action on the field. In the middle of it, the referee. The whole stadium watches him. Now he has to decide.

Normal Normal
Julie Caty France, 2020, 11'

When Dany, a rich heir making up for his existential emptiness by the unbridled consumption of Magic'Powder – a drug with psychedelic and annihilating effects – meets Karl Marx by chance when going through withdrawal, the latter enjoins him to destroy capitalism in order to save the world of men. For better or for worse, Dany yields to his request and turns into a superhero.

The Second Act Le deuxième acte

Quentin Dupieux

Quentin Dupieux (Daaaaaalí!) returns behind the camera with a provocative, absurdist yet hilarious love letter to terrible films and bad actors facing their characters and their lines. This is farcical, surrealistic cinema that only he is capable of – with a message, if not many – and starring his most A-list cast yet. Opening film of this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
