Center
20 min, 2024, Niklas Buescher

A day at the Sony Center complex in Berlin. Two people meet in a chiropractor’s waiting room. They are both tired. Meanwhile, the building is under constant construction.

Dog
15 min, 2024, Marieke de Zwaan

During a night shift, a taxi driver checks in on his dog through a pet camera installed at home. When his wife appears on screen, he uses the dog as an excuse to engage with her.

A Man Who Cleans a Statue
22 min, Hyeonju Lee

A Japanese man lives in Amsterdam and works in a restaurant where he cooks and cleans. After work, he has a habit of walking to a nearby park to clean a particular statue. His days are indistinguishable from one another, as if time has stood still.

It Ends Where the Light Ends
10 min, 2024, Johan Roelofs

Under the watchful eye of security cameras, a solitary man finds his way into an empty office building. He sleeps on the floor, and when he wakes up, he leaves the office behind with smoke billowing from the windows.

A self-indulgent exploration of giving in to the urge to leave, and of realizing what it means to act alone.
