In the near, familiar future, where will memory be stored and is it possible that experiences which come back to us have been modified by someone? The film debut of artist Oliver Torr follows a figure wandering through an urban environment, whose dystopian character is further enhanced by an opaque sound design. A work capturing moments when dreams flip over into nightmares and memories feed into the panic of the present. Collapse starts with a single crack.

The life of a young man (Jan Cina) is defined by order and modern technology; the closest he gets to any form of real communication is when he sprays his pet snail with water in its terrarium.

The Irish documentary We Beg to Differ follows a group of people who feel that the system has forgotten about them. Living on the margins, amidst the dark green of Ireland’s countryside and the gray of its society, they seek out ways of feeling the pulse of life. They find a refuge in diffing – driving dangerously in old cars, doing donuts on meadows and in empty parking lots, the smoke of the tires mixing with adrenaline and dust to briefly drown out everything else. In their language of togetherness, silence is replaced by the roar of the engine and emptiness by shouting. We Beg to Differ is an evocative meditation on the yearning to belong, on resistance born of movement, and on how beautifully it hurts to be different. It is a portrait of a generation that creates its own society when existing society rejects them.
