White Darkness | Directed by Luca Lubiati | Italy

An artist in creative crisis struggles with inner emptiness and the constant crying of her baby, never shown but always present. Isolated in a room, among blank canvases and unused colors, her restlessness grows, leading her to confront her darkest demons in a dramatic conflict between art and despair.

Judas Marie | Directed by Harsh Vardhan Kumar | India

Judas Iscariot resurrects after an unknown number of years and finds himself burdened with the task of slaying the reincarnation of Mother Mary along with the prophet of destruction in her womb.

The film reimagines Judas Iscariot and Mother Mary through a psychophysical lens, stripping away verbal expression to reveal characters governed by primal instincts and raw physicality. Their movements oscillate between restraint and explosion, mirroring the inner turmoil of betrayal, faith, and survival. By embracing an animalistic embodiment, the performance taps into a deeper, almost subconscious space, allowing the audience to engage with the characters instinctually.
