Patient number 666 and others by Tribeny Rai
8' 45'' / 35mm / 2013 / India-Nepal
Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
“Once upon a time, in a promised land lived a guardian who healed all fears. And one fateful night evil rode into all the hearts and they banished the healer in the dark. But it is still believed deep down in some hidden chamber, at a price unknown the healer continues to heal.”
Based on a myth the film uncovers the journey of a certain patient no. 666. The journey reveals the hidden chamber which is believed to house the ‘guardian’ who heals all fear.
Unaware of the consequence she ventures into this kingdom.

Vampire Times by Irene Reiserer
13' 27'' / 2014 / super8 / no dialogue / Italy
Who is the villain and who the prey?
Human skin, glasses of blood and beasts in the forest.
A hypnotic piece, shot on 8mm, mute as early films and archaic as humans. We are vampires and these are our times.
Irene Reiserer, born 1985 in Italy, studied at the Vienna Film Academy Screenplay and Directing and attended the Theatre School Philippe Gaulier in Paris. She workes as a dramaturge and assistant director and realised the short films Peeling Wallpaper (A 2009) and Trois Silences (FR/A 2010).
