This programme of six short films explores conflict – large, small, internal and external – from battling your own inner fears to quarrelling with your neighbours. Using footage from inside Tampere Council House, “Taking the Floor” documents the debate surrounding the proposal to introduce trams to the city, with surprisingly humorous results. While emotions run high in “The Dog” when a passer-by witnesses the murder of a neighbour’s pet…

Programmer’s note: A roller coaster of emotions, and a refreshing mix of styles and techniques.

Nothing Happens Michelle Kranot & Uri Kranot

It is freezing cold. Yet people have gathered on the outskirts of the town, waiting for something to happen. Nothing does. We have assembled to witness an event as well as to be seen. This is spectatorship, the spectacle of watching and of being watched. A cinematic and virtual reality experience that questions the role of the spectator by inviting the individual to participate in an event.

In a Few Years Everything Will be Different Julie Engaas

I miss nature, the soil and the feeling that summer will last forever. That everything is possible, and that the whole world lies before me, letting me believe that everything will be okay.

Taking the Floor Hannes Vartiainen & Pekka Veikkolainen

On 7 November 2016, the Tampere City Council convened to discuss the tramline issue.

Reflection Magnús Ingvar Bjarnason

Two brothers-in-law visit a remote old country house belonging to their recently deceased grandfather. They discover that the basement hides something few people knew about. A tension-filled yet serene horror film.

The Dog Aleksander Leines Nordaas & Hallvard Holmen

He thinks his neighbour has killed the thing he cherishes the most in this world, his dog. He wants revenge. Based on the story “And Then May the Dog Come”, by Jon Fosse.

Sombra Kristian Sejrbo Lidegaard

Anna feels obligated to visit her childhood friend, Julie, on the island of Møn, where Julie still lives with her mother, Sonja. The three women are enjoying the sun at the beach, when clouds begin to gather. Sometimes we must ignore grief to enjoy life. Do we need a level of self-deception to survive?
