Fri

A colorful party of nine travels the roads of their everyday world. Through the bars of (self)imposed restrictions longing glimpses flow over the fields and rivers of personal freedom surrounding them. Sometimes they step out to smell the grass, but never stay long. President Nick van Tilburg finds certain comfort to the Thorn at his side, although his heart belongs to the Rose. Captured between these bars of feelings, will the Rose be the one who will choose her freedom? FRI is a highly artistic, absurd, tragic-comic holiday love-story. The film is filled with deeper layers as well as literary and symbolic references who's overall interaction focuses on the voluntary imprisonment in socially accepted standards versus the courage to break loose from these. All this in only six minutes, different languages and a colorful cast of nine.

Hard Truths

Pansy is a woman so full of rage that every interaction she has devolves into lashing out, whether at her utterly cowed husband and son, or random strangers who have the temerity to address her. In contrast, her younger sister Chantelle lives with her two vivacious daughters and plies a successful trade as a hairdresser, putting clients at their ease all day long. Yet beneath Pansy’s abrasive exterior are hints of a more fragile psyche, one motivated by fear and damaged by repressed pain.

My Brother the Devil

Fourteen-year-old Mo is a lonely, sensitive boy whose hunger for the rant and banter of buddies makes him prone to tread dangerous territories. He idolizes his handsome older brother, Rashid, a charismatic, well-respected member of a local gang, whose drug dealing enables “Rash” to provide for his family. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons. It turns out that hate is easy. It is love and understanding that take real courage.
