Dir. by Lexi Bass , USA

5:33 is a skeptic's response to misinformation and 'alt facts.' It is an emotional reaction to the national war of opinions that has erupted with the recent US election. Most of all, it is an exploration of the cult of always being right.

The Trembling Giant
Dir. by Patrick Tarrant , United Kingdom
Runtime: 20 min
The Trembling Giant is an experimental nature documentary that remediates the iconic landscape of the American southwest by filming through the apparatus of the projector itself. While we do not see the 16mm films playing on the projector, they nonetheless leave their trace as their passage through the mechanism warps the space in front of the camera, much as their soundtracks warp our reading of the Utah landscape.
The trips of the eye
Dir. by Nirvana Paz , Mexico
Runtime: 24 min
The imaginary of the city is constructed by individual and collective representations, from that Marginality already mentioned. It is inhabited and built, transmuted, is own and foreign. And although not every building, aisle, cellar or means of transport are dwellings they are habitable. For the inhabitant of Mexico City, the subway, in which he spends at least 4 hours a day is a dwelling even when it is not his dwelling, these constructions are inhabited and when we inhabit them we build them. I have tried to point out those moments where intimacy Is made public, where the non-place becomes habitable space, own, dwelling of thoughts and Sensory experiences that will be user experience, emotional, biographical.
