The final evening sheds light on the construction of dream locations and subjects them to critical scrutiny.

Guten Tag Buon Giorno, AT 2006, 04:00 min., German OV with English subs. Dir: Veronika Schubert
‘Guten Tag Buon Giorno’ is a collage based on sounds and visuals from holidaymakers. A short film as inspiration for discussions that have probably never been undertaken in this form. Or have they?

Ponyboys, USA 2022, 24:00 min., English OV. Dir: Eric Stange
Two children make their way from their hometown in Massachusetts to the Expo 67 in Montreal, in the summer of 1967. They are accompanied by their pony, as well as by a whole nation, which, bit by bit, begins to follow their journey closely in the media. A story between deceleration and media hype.

Ferenj: A Graphic Memoir in Virtual Reality, USA 2020, 09:19 min, English OV. Dir: Ainslee Alem Robson
Ainslee Alem Robson takes us on a journey in this VR-film, between Addis Abeba and Cleveland, and into her own family history. As if in a dream, we are whisked through the photogrammetrically depicted scenes by Ethiopian jazz and the protagonist’s narrative.

Terra Femme, USA 2021, 62:00 min, English OV. Dir: Courtney Stephens
Stories of women as travel filmmakers from the 1920s to the 1950s. Using archive material, the film examines the traces that these women left behind with a film camera, and raises issues about gender, genre and perspectives.
