Taboo Revelations

The Addams get tangled up in more wacky adventures and find themselves involved in hilarious run-ins with all sorts of unsuspecting characters.

If there is one person Matthew Lancit can’t get out of his mind, it is his uncle Harvey. Dark rings around his eyes, pale, blind, his legs amputated. Like Harvey, the filmmaker also suffers from diabetes. He has the disease under control, but one question is always nagging at him: How much longer? His long-term (self-)observation reliably revolves around fears of infirmity and mutilation. He translates the feared body horror into film, stages himself as a zombie, vampire, a desolate figure. Lancit playfully anticipates his potential decline, serving up a whole arsenal of effects which – as video recordings prove – go back to his youth. It is not for nothing that the “dead” in the title is also reminiscent of “dad.” Because “Play Dead!” also negotiates his own role as a father.

Matteo, a young engineer, returns to the mountains of his childhood to visit his father's grave.

With mixed techniques, the short film "I don't know what nostalgia is anymore" brings a gameplay recording of the game "project zomboid" as the basis for a film that seeks to represent what loneliness means to human beings and how much we can find ourselves even without any help.

A young girl's dream is to ride horses, but she can't because of a disability. She meets Bridget, the reigning equestrian champion, who suffers an injury, and asks her to compete in her place at the next competition. As she goes through physical therapy and begins training, the two girls must come together to learn the importance of friendship, family, following your dreams, and never giving up.

A desperate theater owner resuscitates his struggling business with off-the-wall productions, all the while losing sight of why he chose this life at all.

In the aftermath of an emotionally abusive relationship, a man seeks couples counselling with a sock puppet likeness of his ex-boyfriend, Malcolm.

A young father is separated from her ill and dying daughter by the authorities. It is due to his sordid past that reflects his involvement in a kidnap for-no-ransom-incursion against an authority, who victimizes his entire family in a state-sponsored-killing.

A young woman walks home alone after finishing work, but a city at night lets her imagination run wild and plagues her with fear.

Today, Arvi, a young Estonian, is eighteen years old. As is the custom, his brother takes him to celebrate the transition to adulthood. Despite of the hold of his elder, this day appears to decisive for him.
