All futures

By Barbara Cerro
10′ / France, Argentina / Without dialogues / Stop motion
Production : Autour de Minuit, Oniro Studio

On the planet Glasto, the night is eternal. Todos los futuros chronicles the arrival, then the evolution of humanity on this fictional planet.
Meteorites containing “terrestrial germs” start to fall; then the humans arrive, and with them, their dreams of reproducing their life on Earth. But their heritage also consists of ancestral fears and absurd rules, each meteorite that crashes creates a random chaotic situation. Improbable and aberrant behaviors then manifest themselves. Roads, tunnels and impossible geometric constructions are created… A new society emerges, revealing without detours (but always with a certain humor), our own failings and contradictions.
Todos los futuros is a short film about obligations, the smallness of our lives in the infinity of the universe, chance, primitivism, evolution and the beauty of the end of the world.

Sea sickness

Sea sickness / Seasick

By Mathieu Auvray, written by Eric Tosti
80′ / France
Production : Autour de Minuit

Original work by Ptiluc published by Vents d’Ouest in 1988

Summary of the original work

Stuck between a raging ocean and an impassable cliff, a band of talking warrior rats tries to survive on a desert island. They must survive daily attacks from bloodthirsty crabs, giant gulls and this tide that arrives and takes everything away.
A stormy day, a hamster nostalgic for his little wheel and a white laboratory mouse end up in this hostile environment. These lost strangers will quickly hatch plans to leave this hell. Bringing hope and not resigning themselves to their fate, they will endanger the established archaic order of the savages.
A cruel and poetic tale that mixes themes as diverse as blind and die-hard conservatism, warlike imbecility and consent to tyranny. Regardless of how these characters face their survival in this universe, they are only the different short-haired reflections of THE human problem since the dawn of time : how to live and survive together?
Question that haunts us, like an always rough sea.
