WATCHING THE PAIN OF OTHERS
Chloé Galibert-Lainé - 31 mins | France , 2019
In this deeply personal video diary, a young researcher tries to make sense of her fascination for the film "The Pain of Others" by Penny Lane. A deep dive into the discomforting world of YouTube and online conspiracies, that challenges traditional notions of what documentary cinema is, or should be.
"One of the best films ever made about watching a documentary" (David Schwartz, Chief Curator at the Museum of the Moving Image, New York)

THE TOUGH
Marcin Polar - 14 mins | Poland, 2019
This visually stunning, claustrophobic short film descends to a place that has never before been entered by a human being: a cave system high in the Polish Tatra Mountains. We experience how it must feel to descend into the unknown darkness and hold your breath to be able to crawl through the narrowest crevices.
