DEAR MOTHER, 29min., Austria
Directed by Sabrina Hickl
When the last bee dies, Mother Nature dies too. But she doesn't leave us without a plan - her secret rescue plan comes into effect. In a world where breathing jars are essential for survival, Edward Green, owner of "Breathe Easy Technologies", tyrannizes and rules over people. Through his constant surveillance, he takes away people's freedom. In return, he gives them their lives by producing the breathing glasses. Finn Turner, once pursued by Green's company, reveals Mother Nature's rescue plan. Together with his sister Leonie and his brother-in-law Paul, he uses a magic box to bring the bees back to life. Obstacles and betrayal threaten their plan. Nevertheless, Leonie completes the mission and brings nature back to life. Green, disempowered, pays the price for his actions. Years later, the world flourishes again thanks to the bees, in harmony with nature.

ANANKE, 25min,. UK
Directed by Catherine Boltens-Barinoff
Ananke is a drama short film, which artistically depicts addiction through metaphorical personification as a mysterious lover and friend, Ananke. The relationship that the protagonist, Juliana, builds with Ananke mirrors the abusive relationship that one can have with substance abuse, where the euphoria is so dazzling it replaces ambition and independence. In the short film, we explore how one, who suffers from a lack of support and loneliness, can give away everything to feel wholesome. Film attracts attention to the issue of increased illicit drug use in LGBTQ+ communities, specifically in females.
