Aralkum (r. Daniel Asadi Faezi, Mila Zhluktenko, DE) A desert landscape as if from another planet. A few lonely rusty shipwrecks. Low desert scrub grows around them, holding the sand together in the merciless storms. Aralkum, the Aral Desert, is the bare seabed, the last thing left of the Aral Sea.

The Crossing (r. Tereza Plavecká, CZ) 20 years ago, a man was run over by a car at a pedestrian crossing in Prague's Čimická Street. It was my dad. I couldn't walk across that crossing for years. I walk that crosswalk every day now. A short poetic film from a place that has a special meaning for me.
