Grzegorz Koncewicz (J&P Studio Grafiki Filmowej)
Poljska/Poland, 2006, BetaSP, 10’35’’
Črno-bela noir zgodba v stripu.
Izhod je zgodba o simpatiji, ki preraste v ljubezen, hkrati pa zgodba, v kateri se zabriše ločnica med resničnostjo in domišljijo. Začetek in konec se združita tako, kot bi ne bilo izhoda.
Exit is a black-and-white story told in a comic strip and noir style. A story of a certain crush turning into love, but also a story in which the boundary between the real and imaginary worlds tends to blur. The beginning and the ending combine in a way that suggests no exit.

Tina Rhomberg, Veronica Schubert
Avstrija/Austria, 2007, DVD, 1’50’’
Na grobo skicirane roke imajo veliko opravka z dejavnostjo, ki se razkrije tekom video posnetka: z otroško igrico »nebo in pekel« iz prepognjenega papirja. V tej igri obstaja samo »ali/ali«. Simbolno predstavlja dualistični sistem, utemeljen na diametralno nasprotnih polih.
Roughly outlined hands are busy with an action that unfolds in the course of the video: the children’s game called „heaven and hell“ is made from folded paper. In this game there exists only “either/or”. Symbolically it represents a dualistic system, which is based on clear polarities.

Včasih pa ne dobiš tistega, kar pričakuješ ... Zgodbo je navdihnilo življenje igralke Grete Garbo, bleščeče hollywoodske zvezde, ki je nenadoma izginila s filmskih platen. Zakaj? Kam?
The story is about an ordinary penguin living a normal life, doing all the necessary things he should be doing. But then he decides that he desires more and ventures to fulfill his dream. But sometimes what you get is not what you had expected…

TRŽNA ČUSTVA / MARKET SENTIMENTS
Barbara Musil (Barbara Musil )
Avstrija/Austria, 2007, BetaSP, 3’40’’
Film temelji na študiji strmega dviga cen nepremičnin v Estoniji. Čustva na trgu so izjemno pozitivna, investitorji pa spričo rastočih cen neverjetno srečni. Film ponuja nov pogled na veselo globalno razpoloženje in predstavlja čustvenost, ki v tekmi za dobiček ni ravno priporočljiva.
Market sentiments are based on the research into the real estate boom in Estonia. Market sentiments are extremely positive, and investors are as happy as they can be, due to the rising prices of land and property. This movie adds another perspective to the global positive mood, and represents a sentiment, not really useful in case one wants to make a big profit.
