Gasoline (Benzina)
Italy, 2023, 20 min. 
Director: Daniel Daquino

Vincenzo runs a gas station on a provincial road. He suffers from OCD, filling his life full with maniacally ordered gestures and rituals. The hours go by, as do the songs on the stereo, the cars, and the jokes of two kids. When a woman notices him, it ignites something unexpected.

​

The First Good Deed (La Prima Buona Azione)
Italy, 2023, 18 min. 
Director: Paolo Fulvio Mazzacane 

Dario is a famous and feared art critic. Self-confident and always inflexible, he falters when he finds himself reviewing the exhibition of Sofia, a young artist who uses artificial intelligence combined with traditional painting.

​

Blue, Maybe
Oman, 16 min. 
Director: Mohammed Al-Kindi

Human dignity within a family is a fundamental concept that emphasizes the inherent worth and value of each individual, regardless of their actions or circumstances. When a father puts pressure on his son, it is important to approach the situation with empathy, understanding, and respect for both parties involved.  

​

Burger Song Challenge (버거송 챌린지)
Korea, 2023, 22 min. 
Director: Min-ha Kim

Do you want her to stop dreaming just because she has no money? Just because she's poor, she shouldn't be poor at heart. Never, ever give up.
