'Water hands' is the literal Chinese word for 'sailor'. The sailor himself remains off-screen in this film, just like the woman who is waiting for him. The tight black-and-white images move through Singapore and Montenegro, while a logic all of its own links the various worlds and narrations.

Bright Future

Water Hands

Literary animation takes us into the forest, guided by critical questions about the relationship between man and nature. Hypnotising and unsettling.

The Snail on the Slope

Three modern stories about migration. Not the easiest film of the festival, but the cleverest. The filmmaker, a Serbian artist who teaches in Singapore, exploits his own experience. His interest in landscapes translates into controlled beauty, sparkling like a mathematical equation.
