Flow / SruthDir: Glints Zilbalodis, 2024, Latvia, 1 hr 25 minThe world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of a humanpresence. Catis a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, hefinds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up withthem despite their differences. In the lonesome boat sailing through mysticaloverflowed landscapes,they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to thisnew world. Tha coltas ann gu bheil an t-saoghal a’ tighinn gucrìch, loma-làn lorgan làthaireachd mhic an duine. ’S ebeathach na aonar a th’ann an Cat, ach fhad ‘s a tha adhachaidh air sgriosadh le tuil mhòr, lorg e dìon-àireair bàta làndiofar sheòrsaichean gnèithaichean. Bu choirdha tighinn còmhla riutha a dh’aindeoin na eadar-dhealaichean eatorra. Anns a’bhàta aonranachd a tha a’seòladh tron dùthaich dìomhaireach a tha a’dol thairis,bidh iad a’a’seòladh nan dùbhlain agus nan cunnartan a tha an lùib atharrachadh arèir an t-saoghail ùir seo. What’s Up with the Sky (Què li passa al cel?)2023, Spain, animation, 10min, no dialogueThe sun rises happily over the horizon and is welcomed by the most beautifullandscape. The humans also wake up and do what they always do: cut downtrees, construct aimlessly and pollute without shame. Their ideas and actions, usually very disrespectful to the planet, are putting in jeopardy the wholeenvironment. What they do not realize, is that whatever they do, it will affectthem sooner or later. However the cosmos is not that patient. Tha a’ghrian ag èiridh gu sona thar na fàire agus tha fàilte air cur leis an t-sealladh-tìre asbòidhche. Tha na daoine a’dùsgadh agus iad a’dèanamh na bhios an-còmhnaidh: a’geàrradhchraobhan, a’togail gun amas agus a’truailleadh gun nàire am measg na rudan eile. Thèid ambeachdan agus gnìomhan, mar is tric a’dèanamh dìmeas air a’planaid, a chur an àrrainneachdslan ann an cunnart. Rud nach eil iad a’tuigsinn,’s e gu bi dè a nì iad, bidh buaidh orra, luathno mall. Chan eil an cosmas cho foidhidinneach ged-tà.
