DANCE AS A LOUDSPEAKER FOR DIFFERENT IDENTITIES

ELISA BATTIKH RECOUNTS THE FIRST GEM SHORT FILM COMPETITION
2023
This year the chosen theme focuses on identity and, therefore, the participating short films will have to follow this theme.

ANIMA, ANIMAE, ANIMAM
Direction: Jose Puchades Martinez – Catalonia/Mexico
It is a tribute to people who dedicated their lives to sharing their souls with beings who never had them. To those who gave voice and life to objects that had a lot to say. To tell stories recovered from oblivion. To the puppeteers who because of their profession could not be buried in cemeteries as considered soulless beings.
Jury award for Best Fiction Short Film
BREATH
Direction: Catalin Rugina – Romania
“Breath” aims to make a critical and ironic incursion, to the rhythm of dance, of the destructive universe of the human being. On a hot day, five young people get stuck in their car in the middle of a golden field. Suddenly, the trunk opens and the story begins.
Jury Special Mention

If you swing a pendulum in one direction, it will swing back just as far in the other direction. Where is the delicate balance between power and fragility that we can achieve in our lives?
