The music of Erich Zann, 15min., Hungary
Directed by Dóra Barbara Sánta
The story features the figure of a silent old man who feverishly plays the violin in his attic room every night to stave off some unimaginable horror, which is not explained at the end of the novel. The story is told from the perspective of a student who moves into the same building as the musician for a short time. The young man wants to find out the history of the scary-sounding music and asks the musician to play it for him and also to explain the curtained attic room window, which visibly upsets the musician. In the end, the student pulls the curtain and flees from the building in fear and never finds the street where he used to live. We will never really know or understand the explanation for everything.

Lucky Bastard, 5min., USA
Directed by Iris Almaraz
Two friends, Joey and Tyler, have spent too many nights playing games together, each testing the limits of trust and cunning. While passing the time with cards and snacks, Tyler scratches off a lottery ticket and hits the jackpot, $500,000. Joey’s congratulations seem warm, but a darker impulse simmers beneath his smile. In a shocking instant, Joey seizes a bat and violently turns on his friend, claiming the winning ticket as his own. In a story where everyone loses more than a simple game, it becomes impossible to know which one is lucky and which one is the bastard.
