The Dissipation of Poetry (China) by Tsewang Tashi

This is an unknown story from distant mountains. Lone person of Sengge is a weirdo of the township, and his profession is a pickpocket. He lives a life of silence, regularity, poetry, and even dumbness. Nobody in the town cares about him, and people call him “the poet” without even remembering his name. His life slightly changes when he meets bargirl Zhi’na. Two lonely and wandering people fall into romance, and decide to leave together... The film focuses on the life of young Tibetan people. It illustrates, with roughly textured cinematic styles, the wilderness of Tibetan regions and the daze of youth in this generation of Tibetans.

The Stone Putter (Sweden) by Nils Agdler

The Stone Putter is a cinematic portrait of a serious and physically strong middle-aged woman, deeply focused on throwing stones in a desert-like landscape. How did she get here? What do the stones symbolize – as alien in the landscape as the woman herself in her black dress? Here you can sense a story about both sadness, integrity and stubbornness, about intersecting paths and about continuing forward without bowing to others. Both the stones and the woman are filmed from a variety of angles, giving the viewer an opportunity to experience the event from different perspectives, and for a moment possibly drop the anthropocentric gaze.
