With hours before impact, Victor tries to get his mentor, Professor Pokus onboard a ship and leave Earth before it’s too late.
An exploration of the time and labour involved in the creation of any animated film, no matter how long or short. In a tongue-in-cheek interpretation of the ‘Long Shorts’ title, the knitted frames of animation create a physical manifestation of the length of the filmmaking process.

Throw away all common sense and tap into your madness as you follow Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian - a London-based artist and educator of Armenian and Algerian descent - on a fascinating journey to build a new civilization on the moon. Along with her doppelgängers, Myriam and Lucia, Nelly challenges us to defy power structures and reject planetary exploitation by letting go of the constraints of borders, gender, and religion to embrace what diversity could be in the vast landscape of our imaginations. Prior to their mission, Nelly and her parallel version of self speak with a wide-ranging collection of experts. There’s an LGBTQ+ rights activist, an astronomer, a political scientist, an archaeologist who also makes wine, a theoretical physicist, an environmental designer, a horror filmmaker, and a mathematical economist. They are all crucial to their quest to uncover the key to a queer, eco-feminist future devoid of generational trauma, colonization, and imperialism. However, as the analog space mission takes unexpected turns, the future remains as uncertain as the condition of Schrödinger’s Cat.

Gori, Georgia, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, becomes the backdrop for the intertwined stories of two women from different generations: die-hard Stalinist Nasi and anti-Stalinist Zhana. Both women, scarred by the loss of their fathers to war, grapple with their contradictory interpretations of history.
Their contrasting views expose the absurdities within historical legacies, while the dialectical tensions lead Zhana to confront her adoptive grandmother, Nasi, over her vigorous defiance of the dictator’s memory. It paints a picture of a town in conflict with its own past, holding onto a bygone era, and questioning the very foundations of the cult of Joseph Stalin.
As reality erodes, it exposes the illusory worlds we create for comfort amidst challenging realities.
