Drag You (DIR: Nadia Koro, Hadrien Daigneault-Roy, Sascha Cowan, Canada)

An epic fever dream in short form, this historical reimagining champions the power of trans and Indigenous bodies in a surrealistic triumph set in 1870 Brazil.
Monochrome (DIR: Dan Nieders, Switzerland)

The Cave of Dr Cayla (DIR: Sofia Chapman, Australia)

The Ephemeral (DIR: Jorge Muriel, Spain)
