Bestowal

The film depicts where life can begin and where it can lead for a filmmaker, and in the journey between existence and non-existence, it illustrates where the mind and heart can reach through the medium of cinema. The mentioned filmmaker, as ever, surrenders himself once again in the depths of the forest with his camera, adding a new film to his life and beliefs. For him, cinema and the life he reaches through cinema touch upon all the emotions and thoughts that can be questioned in the world where he resides and is tested by its absence. The nature he reaches thanks to this journey is something presented to him from nothingness. Unable to decide what to do with this nothingness, the filmmaker, ultimately makes a film that he can present to people with the nature bestowed upon him. The resulting film essentially belongs to a day of the man who roams in the forest and points his camera at the trees.

Kyklop

The short film poem KYKLOP is dedicated to a mechanical eye as an autonomous being. Round wheels and targets similar to him seem to arouse the interest of this main character. The atmosphere is thundery, thunderous. It reminds of the cyclopean thunder demons from the "Theogony" of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. KYKLOP (2023) is another autonomous part of the film cycle by Telemach Wiesinger and Alexander Grebtschenko that began with TURBULENCE (2022) and its pairs of mechanical wings.

Hours on Earth and Somewhere Beyond

A human being with no face or figure glides through life, with an identity that is shaped by monotonous daily actions, and the marks and leftovers that remain. Just like any of us, this person too is spending time on earth, which in turn becomes the life we get to live. But what makes these actions distinct is the gender this person possesses. It can be you or someone you know, and the time that is being spent can be a choice, an obligation, or a habit in disguise.

The Penitent: A Rational Man

A psychiatrist, Charles, has his career and life become derailed after he refuses to testify on behalf of a former patient who had become clinically violent and unstable, resulting in the deaths of multiple people following a tragic breakdown of his mental complications. The patient then claims that Charles will not testify in court or to the police because the patient is openly part of the LGBT community. Further, the patient claims that Charles has recently gone through a religious conversion in his own personal identity which has resulted in a fully prejudiced reassessment of the gay community as a whole. Charles claims that the basis of these accusations are false and due to a misunderstanding. The resulting recriminations put Charles's entire career at risk and threaten to end his practice permanently.
