  Kings of the Wind & Electric Queens

  France 2014 54'
  Directed by: Cédric Dupire, Gaspard Kuentz
  Along the Ganges river they are getting ready for the Sonepur Fair. Men with mustaches debate on the speed of their horses; young skinny kids build stages and cages while others take care of their acrobatic bikes; dancers wear makeup and exercise, with colorful costumes. All around: the feverish tingling of the crowds.
  A film with the pace and the shape of ecstasy: faces illuminated by the excitement, and bodies moved by the frenzy of the euphoria.

  Srok
  The Term

  Russia/Estonia 2014 83'
  Directed by: Pavel Kostomarov, Aleksei Pivovarov, Aleksandr Rastorguev
  In 2012, Putin won his third term and the streets in Moscow filled with people, screams, banners, and actions of all kinds. Cross-media platforms were activated to collect visual materials representing several points of view of this huge, diverse protest. Politics, however, is just one of the places where the leaders of tomorrow are trained: they also cope with love, fear, and sorrow just like anybody else.

  The Visitor

  Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland 2014 79'
  Directed by: Katarina Schröter
  The shadow of a black-dressed woman follows you. She watches you, she never loses her composure. She’s looking for you, she waits, and she makes some of the gestures you usually do, not to imitate you but to ‘feel’ you. A camera is shooting. This film unravels that the precariousness of personal relationship pervading the encounters of the present-day metropolitan citizen cannot defeat the intense sharing of experience, as well as that which happens when individuals finally do meet.
