Aitana López Rodrigo, A piece of paper, 9 min, 2024
In the context of a workplace layoff, a choreography of voices and rhythms invites us to explore the boundaries between the bureaucratic and the human and to rethink our relationship with the language of power.
Gerco de Ruijter, The Making of No Man's Air, 14 min 2026
No Man's Air is about the last flight to Nicosia Airport in 1974. Since then, the airport has been a no-man's-land between the Greek and Turkish parts of Cyprus. Using the story of pilot Adamos Marneros and fragments from the internet, the creators construct a digital excavation, a melancholic reconstruction and a tribute to the imagination.

Katja Verheul, Mine Land, 4 min teaser, 2026
In a peaceful-looking forest in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a team of former adversaries work together as mine clearers. Through virtual reality, a mine clearer and a scientist each try to erase the scars of war in their own way, raising the question: when is a war truly over?
Tess Martin, How Now, House?, 13 min, 2025
