A grand total of 59 films from 25
countries made the final selection for the International and Swiss
Competitions, with Main Focus featuring everyday Arab
life, while the Country in Focus section looks at
Bhutan and Nepal. There will also be Swiss premieres of early shorts
by Andy Warhol, celebrating 99 YE∀ЯS OF DADA.
On Thursday (5th) and Sunday
(8th) there will be special screenings for children, The
Magic Lantern: Shorts for Kids – True Courage? a programme
of ten shorts for the whole family. The movies show the versatility
of short film and most of them pursue the question of what true
courage means.
This includes The Little
Cousteau, a homage to Jacques Cousteau, featuring a little
boy who longs for deep-sea adventures in a snow-covered city and
Wombo, featuring an alien who makes an emergency
landing on planet earth. But life here is no laughing matter. First,
he is chased by a dog, then he ends up in a vegetable basket and
nearly gets cooked for dinner. But why is all of this happening to
him? The reason is simple: our alien friend happens to look like a
potato!
