Jenny
Ingvild Søderlind, Norway, 2010, 35mm, 15’
Jenny will become a woman. Her body is changing, but the innocence in her blue eyes keeps her away from boys. But Jenny is curious: she wants to know what happens when other people go into the bathroom and shut the door. On the saddle of her bicycle she goes in search of answers. A female teen movie that is delicate and suburban, where words do not matter, and attraction is a game of noise and silence, light and dark, sex and affection.

The Gloaming
Nobrain, France, 2010, HD, 14’
A creator blows on a globe of amalgamated earth that becomes populated with tiny impetuous and neurotic figures. They go to war, create and destroy gods, to then be dominated by their very own inventions. This short film by the French group Nobrain is not just a technical jewel, wisely mixing together various techniques. It is the upside-down history of the whole of humanity, collapsed by its own doing. An apocalypse where it is impossible not to recognise ourselves.

Un novio de mierda
A Shitty Boyfriend
Borja Cobeaga, Spain, 2010, HD, 3’
Sometimes you only need three minutes for a funny story. A boy knocks on the door of his ex, whom he left three months ago. The surprised and slightly bitter look on the girl's face turns into anger when, with no preamble and not even any small talk, he asks her…if he can use her bathroom. And that is just the start.
