Program

Gestures usually reveal more than anything said. Our body movements are driven by some internal mechanism that cannot be fooled, and any attempt at deliberate maneuvering is as clear as the elephant in the room. So what do we express with our body, and what are we really trying to convey? It is easier to hide thoughts than expressions. In the documentary film Light Years, Vitali, a peculiar seminarian, hidden in the safety of the cramped space of a roommate's apartment reveals that his essence is broader than the given boundaries of life and faith. The experience of foreign bodies and spaces terrifies an introverted girl in kindergarten in the animated film Silent Type. Embarrassed by his extra weight and his own mother's unsightly appearance, the hero of the movie Fruits and Vegetables will do everything to correct the figures that are bothering him. Ultimately, the protagonist of the animated movie Slouch finds himself in the loop of the music star's tried-and-true moves. Can some other, more sincere gestures achieve his success?
