The Frisians: they come from diverse backgrounds, with roots in the same soil. In a world where identity is becoming increasingly colorful and experimental, your heritage serves as an important compass to know where you are heading. Some long for a safe home, while others seek the freedom to differentiate themselves. Each with their own version of what could be considered typically Frisian. Does the true Frisian exist? How do the current generations shape our future ‘heitelân’? These and more questions are posed in the dialogical film Kriich, a hybrid film that blends documentary and fiction, showcasing the Frisian of today in all their facets.

The Reindeer Journals. Lapland is something else−just one of those heartbreakingly beautiful places. There is a philosophy there called Allemansratten which simply means, we have the right to roam, that everyone shall have access to nature and wilderness, rivers, and oceans. You can climb mountains, pick mushrooms, throw down a bedroll and a tent, swim in stunningly clear lakes, fish, navel gaze the true meaning of life, and ramble to your heart’s content, as long as you are respectful and loving to the earth and others. Amen to that. This film is an ode to friendship and simple living, running wild along rivers and in the Arctic Circle. And the fish, pike, salmon, grayling, and wild trout for miles. These days, the reindeer need our help to keep the earth steady at the helm, so there is plenty to do ahead. We all know that. Here’s to the surreal places waiting for us if we have the heart to go. See you out there.

Disjointed moments from the filmmakers’ daily lives during the past year. Captured on a 1985 VHS camcorder with color and luminosity distorted by its failing color Newvicon tube. Cut with distorted tape-recorded fragments of nostalgic broadcast television ephemera. Scored by whatever was handy— from an ambient electronic song with a surprising amount of pipe organ (Oneohtrix Point Never - Boring Angel) to midi versions of your favorite SNES soundtrack (Donkey Kong Country – Aquatic Ambience, Opening, and Treetop Rock) to a not-quite-right rendition of a song that will make you want to say “Oh, Angelo, that’s tearing my heart out!” (Xiu Xiu – Falling). A voyeuristic peak at home movies that exist somewhere between soon to be forgotten and forgotten long ago. The occasional dot matrix time stamps in the corner of the footage somehow make it harder to place in time.

A skier on melting ice — caught between motion and impermanence. This short film explores the fragile threshold between natural forces and human traces, drawing viewers into the glacier’s breath and immersing them in its fading soul. The melting glacier becomes the stage for a visually poetic disintegration. Its echo reverberates in the skier’s mind, pulling him into the depths of his own psyche. Snow fractures into digital shards; space dissolves into a shimmering breath of transience. A visual resonance of the climate crisis — fragmented, displaced, yet impossible to ignore. Created as a film school graduation project, this art film is both visually stirring and emotionally unsettling, realized with remarkable professional dedication. It marks a bold and entirely new approach to the ski film genre.

In this bold and personal short, filmmaker Lorenz Zenleser reflects on his complicated relationship with the Victory Monument in Bolzano, an imposing fascist structure built in 1928 to mark Italy’s victory over Austria, which is still politically charged and actively appropriated by the far-right. As he sets out to film the monument’s troubled legacy, the camera itself seems to resist: double 8 mm footage begins to glitch and tremble.
