FILMS DESCRIPTIONS

A chain of unexpected events pushes him to the utmost extreme solutions.

Farewell, dir. Leon Vidmar (Slovenia) 6' – animation

Leocadia's Dream, dir. Krzysztof Nowicki (Poland) 18' – documentary
Leocadia has been running a small family music shop on Las Ramblas for many decades. The camera observes the last, very hard, months of her work because her shop is to be closed down.Her shop sells classical music albums on vinyl. She begins to throw away her old records, leaving them on benches along Las Ramblas as she takes her beloved little dog for a walk. By leaving the records, she leaves traces of her past behind her.

25/25. dir. Aga Jarząb, Maciek Bączyk (Poland) 4' – animation
