Can’t Feel Nothing

An eye-opening film about numbness in the age of social media. The diagnosis is alarming, but it is made with understated humour and energy by director David Borenstein, himself a screen zombie in digital rehab.

David Borenstein / Denmark / 2024 / World Premiere

Echo of You

A poetic and touchingly honest film about lifelong love and what remains when it disappears. The echoes of love resound in the poignant, humorous and life-affirming stories of those left behind.

Zara Zerny / Denmark / 2023

Eros

Brazil's love motels are a sexual haven where fantasy becomes reality. When the filmmaker's own date never shows up, she gets a fresh idea for a film instead. The result is a kaleidoscopic insight into a parallel world of human desire.

Rachel Daisy Ellis / Brazil / 2024 / International Premiere

Eternal You

Can modern technology realise the dream of eternal life? Yes, say the sci-fi optimists in Silicon Valley, who are determined to make death obsolete through artificial intelligence in a film that soberly and thoughtfully raises the biggest questions - and provides possible answers.

Hans Block & Moritz Riesewieck / Germany & United States / 2024

Ibelin

A young Norwegian gamer with an unusual double life in 'World of Warcraft' turns out to be a true online superhero, much to his family's surprise. A genuinely moving film about transcending your disability and making a real difference in other people's lives.

Benjamin Ree / Norway / 2024

Our Body

Monumental and unfiltered story about women and their bodies, told empathetically and insightfully through the eyes of patients, doctors and nurses in a Parisian public hospital. 

Claire Simon / France / 2023

Rehab (From Rehab)

How can a building become part of the treatment in physical and mental rehabilitation? A film about architecture, bodies and universal design that could revolutionise the way we shape our shared spaces.

Louise Lemoine & Ila Bêka / France & Switzerland / 2023

Stray Bodies

Involuntary body related travelling is on the rise in Europe, with women crossing EU borders to reclaim the right to their own bodies. Abortion and artificial insemination are just two items on the list in a film that maps the continent.

Elina Psykou / Greece, Switzerland, Italy & Bulgaria / 2024 / International Premiere

This is Ballroom

An upbeat tribute to the Brazilian ballroom scene, where LGBTQ+ and non-white people create the creative space they are not allowed in a repressive society.

Juru ‎ & Vitã ‎ / Brazil / 2024 / World Premiere
