Description:

Stas works at a garage and is a young Uzbek of Korean descent. He is the third generation of Koreans living in Uzbekistan who were forcibly deported from the Far East of the Soviet Union under Stalin. He and his friends try to escape from their hopeless lives in Tashkent - either through drug addiction, emigration, or death. Director's statement: "I wanted to describe the encounter between the first generation of Soviet Koreans who were forced to relocate when they were little and a rebellious young man from the third generation who has no interest in those times. I hoped to make them trace the path of deportation that took place seventy years ago which, in some ways, would be similar to salmons' homing behaviour".

Director(-s): Ruslan Pak

He was born in 1981 in Uzbekistan. After working for seven years as an assistant film director, he began filming short films. He joined the filming course at the Graduate School of Korean National University of Arts in 2006. His short film 'One Shoot' (2006) was invited to the Talent Campus programme of the Berlin International Film Festival. 'Hannan' is his first feature film.

The Shadow of The Sun

The Shadow of The Sun

La sombra del sol

dir. David Blanco

Spain, 2011 - 110

Claudio and Pelé, two homeless men from Barcelona, prepare a street show. Together, they will start a journey of a friendship between light and shadows in the middle of the big city. Director's statement: "Beggars are the other side of the coin: that which remains hidden, a by-product of the splendorous society we live in. That which is perceived as 'different' is rejected today as much as it has always been. We are terrified of disorder, of chaos, and these unmoored people remind us that if we want to avoid ending up without a penny, without a job, sleeping in the streets, on our own and utterly lost, we must remain tied to the etiquette of this society".

Chile / Argentina, 2010 - 90

Unfazed by the attention he receives from women, Hugo searches for something to break up the monotony of his life. He becomes captivated with Octavio, a middle-aged local boxing champion, who must maintain a hard and gruff image for his fans and fellow fighters. The men eventually surrender to a mutual magnetic attraction. They enter into an intense romance that would never be accepted in their small town in southern Chile. The couple moves to capital city Santiago with energized dreams of building their life together and protecting their love from a hostile world. But nothing turns out as planned. The passionate rise and tragic fall of a couple's relationship set to an evocative acoustic score.

Qarantina

Iraq / Germany, 2010 - 90

Today's Iraq. A family has been forced to move into a derelict building. A hit man moves into the top floor. The killer looks down from above on the courtyard where the difficult family life largely takes place. The wife cheats on her husband with the much younger housemate. Her man feels humiliated by the younger intruder and by his daughter's unwanted pregnancy. The hit man is quite sympathetic but goes off the rails slowly when he has to liquidate one of his old student friends. A melancholy story in which a large crumbling house in Baghdad keeps its inhabitants protected from the chaos outside while figuratively trapping them in their destinies. All the characters stand for the situation in which Iraq finds itself. Images of street life in Baghdad, all shot from within a tank, make it clear that the occupier is equally imprisoned.

Enero

dir. Cynthia Gabrenja, Marcelo Scoccia

Argentina, 2011 - 70

Ivan is a pianist. After a tragic accident, his beloved is in a coma. Ivan is heartbroken and unable to write music. His narcoleptic episodes transport him to a different, quieter world that makes him forget about his artistic block. Music once again seems to be what might bring him back to life. His therapy sessions, subway rides, supermarket shopping, his whole everyday life is then altered by the idea of finishing a requiem for his late master. A tale of spiritual lethargy and a man's attempts to overcome it.
