The Flower by the Road
In a few brief moments in the life of a young girl, we see her drawing on the window with a marker as she sings and chats, and walking along the main road on her way to meet her friend, meanwhile surrounded by cars and trucks racing dangerously close to her.
The Invisible Ones
Filmmaker Martijn Blekendaal thinks there should be a superhero for invisible children: kids who need to be invisible because otherwise their lives are in danger. In The Invisible Ones he tells the stories of four children—some of whom are now 85 years old—who learned to master the art of going unnoticed. This is something he learned to do in his own life.
A Place to Call Home
A dreamlike short with an estranged feel to it that reminds you of Alice in Wonderland. A father and his two daughters have ended up in a beautiful, yet strange place. Where everything seems to be off. They explore the house they stay in. A cosy place, or so it seems. But it feels empty. Where is everybody? How long will they stay here? And where are their friends and the parties they used to go to?
What’s the Film About?
A personal, candid and moving short film by a mother who wants to tell her son Rehaan (11) and daughter Mitra (8) about an uncomfortable subject: inappropriate touch. She chooses to do this during a camping trip, when the three are physically close to each other, first in the car and then in a cozy tent.
With Grace
Thirteen-year-old Grace lives with her parents and eight siblings in rural Kenya. Rain means everything to this family because it makes the crops grow and provides food.
