We Have Decided Not to Die
Daniel Askill, Australia, 11 min, experimental. Three rituals. Three people. Three modern-day journeys of transcendence.
United We Stand
Hans Petter Moland, Norway, 9 min. Eight old timers come upon a young woman stuck in a swamp. This short film was inspired by the Norway's Labour Party, and is a part of the collective feature film Utopia: No One is Perfect in the Perfect Country.
The Old Woman's Step

La PerraHugo Maza, Chile, 17 min. A couple with an empty life make up a story about the new maid in order to satisfy their sexual obsessions.
Ring of FireAndreas Hykade, Germany, 15 min, animated. Replete with outrageous sexual imagery, this tale of innocence lost and ultimately redeemed is accompanied by a lyrical voiceover (in appropriate cowboy drawl) that seems to have only the loosest of connections to the action on-screen.
AntichristAdam Guzinski, Poland, 28 min. A group of boys play in a barren, seemingly post-apocalyptic landscape. The group's leader believes he is the Antichrist. He goads the others into increasingly daring games until events spiral out of control.
