TICKETS Fragments, movements, and radical unselfing coalesce in a collective treatise on the poetry of charged spaces. A hazy screen marks a violence that cannot be traced. Felled trees drift along a bayou tributary, in search of a disappearing home. Childhood excursions are revisited, unearthing obscured truths from spring-fed rivers and snow-capped mountains. Strained desire […]

TICKETS Mickey spent the last ten years exploring her transition process within the conservative context of Sinaloa, Mexico. Through digital archives, artistic reenactments, and deeply personal encounters, the film moves between tenderness and rage, transforming memory into an act of freedom. An exploration of self-perception and a n

TICKETS A program of shorts by Dana Kavelina Animation becomes a practice of resurrection in Dana Kavelina's cinema, where collage, stop-motion, and archival fragments reanimate forgotten histories. People speak from mass graves and coal mines of the Donbas, rising to haunt us anew. Dolls begin to move, photographs flicker, and buried voices return to relay […]

TICKETS The past persists in trembling images, unsettled ground, restless bodies, and repeated gestures.

Superimposing tradition and transformation, layers of space and time transmute water into data at the velocities of slow-growth lichen and break-neck scrolling.

Lines of connection grow between broken hearts, charting routes of restoration and solidarity. Humanity blooms beautiful through mutual aid and the endurance to keep showing up, radiating the love that appears when we […]

TICKETS Triumphs fade, future tribulations loom large. Disappointment looks inevitable, but navigating by desire, you persevere. Each attempt sets its own pace, each a new opportunity for the same old mistakes. It becomes clear that some people will never learn. Vulnerable, you try again. Ending is not a failure, and what remains will be enough.

Through a disintegrating tongue and a capella songs, we think about the nature of communicating and try to narrate ourselves back to life. Cinema becomes a space to understand survival, selfhood, and alterity. Here, storytelling is an act of relation, and […]
