Έχε το νου σου, Carolina Specht (POLAND 2015, 4')
2D computer animationΜία οπτική ιστορία σχετικά με το πόσο εύκολα χάνει κάποιος τον νου του. Ένα λευκό κεφάλι κυλάει αργά προς το κέντρο μιας μαύρης οθόνης. Ένα γεγονός πυροδοτεί μια σειρά άλλων γεγονότων. Το οπτικό μέρος της ταινίας εξελίσσεται παράλληλα με την αφήγηση, ξεκινώντας από απλές συνθέσεις μέσω διαδοχικού αριθμού δομών και από πυκνότητα μορφών και καταλήγοντας σε σκηνές γεμάτες χρώματα, σαν σε καλειδοσκόπιο. Η αφθονία σκέψεων, σχέσεων και συνδέσεων οδηγεί σε τραγικό τέλος.

Στο Στόχαστρο, Marziyeh Kheirkhah (IRAN 2016, 5' 17")
Σχεδίαση σε άμμοΠρόκειται για την ιστορία ενός στρατιώτη που βρίσκει μια φωλιά με αβγά σε ένα τανκ. Παρά την εσωτερική του επιθυμία, αναγκάζεται να μπει στον πόλεμο και να ανατινάξει ένα χωριό υπακούοντας στις διαταγές του διοικητή του. Μετά την έκρηξη, συνειδητοποιούμε ότι ο στρατιώτης έχει βγάλει τη φωλιά από το τανκ πριν επιβιβαστεί. Ο νεοσσός αρχίζει να σπάει το αβγό. Υποφέροντας από τον πόλεμο, ο στρατιώτης γεμίζει χαρά με το που βλέπει τον νεοσσό. Γεμάτος ελπίδα βγαίνει χαρούμενος από το τανκ μέχρι που συνειδητοποιεί ότι ένα άλλο τανκ τον σημαδεύει.
