In a city enclosed by towering walls and indifferent streets, a lonely little girl encounters a plush pig. Like her, the pig quietly hides in the corners of the world. It becomes her only companion, guiding her through silent houses and leading her into a realm that is both absurd and dreamlike. Reality keeps building its walls higher, yet the dreams the pig brings her offer fleeting moments of tenderness and freedom. One day, the pig will be gone, but the dream it leaves behind will continue to shimmer within her heart—becoming the courage and solace she needs to step into the real world.

As night descends and a city comes to life, in a quiet corner of town, George sits alone and tries to fix something that is broken: his shirt button. It's a simple task, but one that feels impossible. George has lost the one thing that gave his life meaning, his wife. The button, like everything else, won't stay in place. He's stuck, trapped in the quiet space between grief and routine, surrounded by the objects and memories that once gave his life shape. But something shifts. With the memory of his love's last words he realises that holding on too tightly can be its own kind of loss. He can never fix everything, but he can repair it just enough to outside into the bustling city again.

Four tribes, living worlds apart, bound by the same instinct and way of life: to run. From the mountains of Mexico to the plains of Southern Africa, this film takes us on a journey through time and across continents to explore how running has shaped—and continues to shape—their lives. But beyond their stories, it’s an invitation to reflect on our own need for movement, and the primal drive that keeps us moving forward.

The Cinema That Never Was
“存在しなかった映画”の記憶を呼び起こすドキュメンタリー。もし作られていたなら——映画史の影に潜む無数の可能性を想像する。
英語シノプシスを表示
Have you ever wondered about all the films we lost—not to time, but to never having existed? Not abandoned projects, but films that were never written, never imagined, never even conceived. What if the cinema we know and love is just a fraction of what could have been? Let’s remember these films that were never made.

We the Change
圧政に抗う四人の人権活動家の声を軸に、連帯と希望を歌い上げる映像詩。壁を越えてつながる力を描く。
英語シノプシスを表示
We the Change is an anthem of courage and hope in the face of impossible odds. It's driven by the voices of four global human rights activists who have stood up against oppression and become an inspiration to people, everywhere. They speak for political struggle in every corner of the globe, from Africa to Asia, Latin America to the United States and share ideas that we all need to hear, today more than ever before. Inspired by street art from each region, the film brings their stories to life through visual poetry, that moves across the walls that divide them in the cities where they gather as one. It's a call for solidarity and unity and optimism in a time of great division and uncertainty. We believe there is a future where we the people can be the change we want to see. This film invites us all to rise to that moment. Written and Directed by Humans. Rendered by Robots from Midjourney, Runway, Kling and Eleven Labs.

Who's The Robot Now?
人間とアンドロイドの“噛み合わなさ”をユーモラスに観察するモキュメンタリー。AI時代の滑稽さと自己像を軽やかに問う。
英語シノプシスを表示
This satirical, documentary-style short film humorously explores the quirky, awkward, and often absurd coexistence between androids and humans. Through candid, tongue-in-cheek interviews, humans reveal their bafflement over android logic and etiquette, while androids dryly comment on human inefficiencies, irrational behaviors, and inexplicable emotional dramas. Framed as a mockumentary, the film playfully critiques humanity's self-importance and technological dependency, while highlighting the comedic misunderstandings that arise from bridging the digital-biological divide. Ultimately, it pokes fun at the irony that, in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, humans might not be the smartest beings in the room after all.
