European BOO: Order Disorder

The six films in this section explore how defiance, resistance, and the desire for order arise—and how often they turn into disorder. Oscar-nominated The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent recalls the true story of a man who stood up to armed forces and refused to stand by and watch injustice. The experimental film Notes from Planet Three blends children's scientific knowledge with the world of internet disinformation. Dog and Wolf follows stripper Rudo, whose wild parties cannot drown out the pain of a broken relationship. The animated Volcelest presents a thrilling story of an ermine and a farmer in a parable about survival and conflict. In the raw drama Skin on Skin, a fragile bond develops between two men in a German slaughterhouse, but also draws them into a spiral of violence and helplessness. And the documentary Am I Calling You at a Bad Time uses archival recordings to paint a portrait of a woman for whom the telephone became a source of play, work, and exploitation. Together, the films create a kaleidoscope of moments where the boundaries between order and chaos, power and powerlessness, courage and resignation are blurred.
