Competition Screening: Best Nordic Short Film

This compelling programme features powerful narratives that dive into the complexities of migration, asylum, and societal divides. In the exasperating How to Please, Elina Talvensaari explores the labyrinthine Finnish asylum system through the eyes of Iraqi refugee Wed Al-Asadi, illustrating the daunting challenges of seeking refuge. On the surface, Jörgen Hyltes Svåger’s Container Scanning is somewhat inane, but delve a little deeper and you’ll see a unique perspective of a conflict-free world where constant dialogue intersects with corporate commitment, ergonomics, and energy efficiency. And, Dennis Harvey's The Building and Burning of a Refugee Camp portrays the harrowing experiences of Sami, Hasiballah, and Simon as they confront the rising far-right movement in Dublin. Homeless and struggling, their story is a stark reminder of the human cost of political and social strife.
