Nationale Competitie 2

Ebb - Frederik en Maria Stuut
The inspiration for ebb was an accumulation of different elements. First of all, the connection to the island Ameland, where the family has lived for many generations, and where Frederik and Maria have spent many summers at their grandmother’s house. One of these summers, Maria went fishing with an older nephew, which formed the inspiration for the script. Some other elements were parts of video works of performances, and also found footage. And of course, the element of surprise, which came by letting the children and the island improvise together.

The Incident - Pierre Hosselet
During a simple ride in his Peugeot 203, a driver will suffer a new type of control, a relentless control, from which no one can any longer escape.

Three Women - Alisa Karo
A short film about overcoming destructive situations and carrying their scars through the healing process.
The director found inspiration in the more painful side of life because this is something that makes her think, as apposed to the happy moments, which she just likes to enjoy. Whilst creating this dystopian world through abstract movements, sound and metaphors, the concept of hope was always present.

Ego Echo - Ezra Belgrado
Echoing through a room like a ripple in the water, an ego lingers in a sensitive body. Hiding. Holding on. As a person tosses and turns between their need to belong and seizing a chance to move on, a moment of awakening silently unfolds.

Oh oui mon amour - Jade Debeugny
Three days in the life of 10-year-old Juliette. In the absence of her mother with whom she has a close relationship, Juliette will live the key moments of an exploration of femininity and seduction, on the way to pre-adolescence.

La Protagoniste - Sarah Carlot
The Protagonist, by her given name, is presented to us in her natural environment : a jungle, sadly, often lacking in density. But today enough is enough! Being the mother, the secretary, the lover, the nanny, the baby bottle, the side piece of the main male character is no longer enough for our dear Protagonist ! Put on "mute" after the allocated time for female* characters in a film was reached, she runs away with her friend Voice-Over for a new journey with plenty of humor.

Et Apres - Marine Follonier
Mute and almost motionless behind a two-way mirror, Gilles and Vanessa, a couple in their thirties, watch their daughter being interrogated. Agathe, 6 years old, explains the sexual touching of which she was a victim.
