BERTHA AND THE WOLFRAM / 16' / director Tijs Torfs / Belgium
Every ordinary activity, whether it’s studying or following Instagram, is a great effort for Bertha. But she doesn’t make a big deal out of her disease. Her friends at school are supportive. They’ve even made up a game during which even their vision is hindered. The adolescent girl’s motto is “live here and now”, which means even with Wolfram. To help people with the same syndrome, she paints pictures together with her artist friend. She then sells them and donates the proceeds to researching this disease. Although Wolfram is taking away her sight, Bertha is determined to go on painting.
#LOCKDOCS / 22' / director Sanne Rovers / Netherlands
Spain, the Netherlands, Italy – in the time of Covid it doesn’t matter where one lives. When there’s a lockdown, they can’t go outside, not even to school. The children in this film make reports about their daily life, give advice about how to keep oneself entertained during these slow weeks, and talk about how the pandemic has affected their families. Joaquín can’t stand it at home anymore; Maïza is very worried about her ill brother; and Juliette has to keep a one and a half metre distance from her father… But it helps everyone at least a little when they can share their experiences and feelings with others over a video chat.
PACKING THE WAVE / 8' / director Edu Glez / Spain
At first glance, the island looks like a tropical paradise, but a second look reveals something more like a rubbish dump. Reminders of human civilisation are everywhere. Waste is piled on the beach and in the coconut palm forest. Plastic and packaging become traps for the local animals. It’s a depressing picture, but our heroine is determined not to accept the horrible state of the island – or the fact that she’s stranded – and immediately gets down to work. Will she manage to clear the island of waste, so that it can breathe again?
