Café Regular, Cairo by Ritesh Batra
Egypt/India 2011 / HD / Colour / 16:9 / Mono / In Arabic with English subtitles
A relationship is tested in a crowded café in Cairo. A young couple find themselves speaking about things they have never spoken about before, as they try to find their own place in a changing world.

All kinds of people are waiting in seven different queues. The first person of each queue becomes the last of the next one, thus creating an enormous human line. But at the end of the line, it all begins backwards again.
La Maladie Blanche by Christelle Lheureux

An evening party in an isolated village of the Pyrenees. A father and his five-yearold daughter, Myrtille. Some teenagers, a hunter, a shepherd, some fireflies, toads and cats. A nocturnal world where stories of a shadow puppet, a magic mirror and prehistoric paintings become entangled. That night, a prehistoric being gets Myrtille to the mountain.

Rite by Michael Pearce
16 mins 50 secs / completed October 2010 / RED ONE / exhibition formats: HD Cam, DigiBeta / 16:9 (2.35 crop) / language: English
Mike takes his estranged son out for his birthday; desperate to prove he’s a reformed man. But drink and the simmering violence of match day threaten to bring out the worst in him.
Laura’s Party by Simon Jaquemet
Switzerland 2010 / 20 min / 35mm colour / 1:1.85 / original language: Swiss-German / Dolby Digital 5.1 English Subtitles
Laura is going to be 16 in a day’s time. She wants nothing more than the house to herself to party the night through with her friends. But her domestic life turned into chaos! Her single- parent father has himself had a hard night’s drinking behind him, and to top it all has dragged his new lover back home with him.
Autumn Man by Jonas Selberg Augustsén
Sweden 2010 / 29 min / colour / Dolby Digital
Autumn, the season where nature prepares to be reborn by dying. In this time of the year we meet two young fellows. They are perhaps not the most popular characters in the small Tornedalen community since their method of subsistence is on the outskirts of morality. Most of their endeavors seem to be jinxed as if a higher power is trying to say something about their life style. Two men, two different reactions, either bracing oneself or letting the scents of autumn open one’s mind.
