2006 | Color | 90 min Andreas, a man of 42 years, awakens on a bus. He has no idea where he comes from nor where he?s going. The bus pulls up at a run-down bus stop, where a friendly little man greets him and drives him into town in a small car. Everything has been prepared for his arrival: a job, clothes and an apartment. But something isn?t quite right. The inhabitants of the city all seem strangely unemotional. He constantly sees caretakers (omnipresent handymen) cleaning up and hiding anything that?s out of place in the well-functioning city. Andreas grows more and more uncomfortable, and in the end gets exhausted by the meaningless discussions about redecorating and choice of colors ?the only topics people around him address. He tries to escape, but there?s no way out of the city Country: Noruega Direction: Lien; Jens Script: Schreine; Per Production: Storm Rosenber; Jørgen Photography: Christian Rosenlun; John Sound: Schaanning; Christian Cast:Larsen; Birgitte, Schaanning; Per, Barker; Petronella, Fausa Aurvag; Trond, Joner; Johannes Participation year at FICM: 2006

Mexico will no longer exist! A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult. This is an erratic film that invites us to reimagine the complex relationship we have with the constructed “mexicanidad.” See More
