# Short Film Competition: Program II — Unexpected Natures

**Genres:** Short

**Duration:** 79 min

## Description

A rock speaks, an invisible worker dances herself into view, a filmmaker confronts the people he has turned into cinema, and wildlife inhabits the toxic remains of Soviet industry. Moving between animation, documentary, essay, and performance, these films descend underground — into buried histories, hidden lives, and damaged landscapes. Between destruction and renewal, they reveal life reorganizing itself within the ruins.

## Details

**Premiere:** 16 Oct 2026 (in 10 days)

**Available versions:** OmeU, OmU

**Open-air showtimes:** No
