Our Havens (France) by Emmanuelle Legendre

Our havens are places we live in, as well as memories living in us. Tatiana Lorina is a character from Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse, Eugene Onegin. I pictured myself inside one of the chapters just enough time to dream. A romantic memory resurfaced. In that momentum, the film collects the words of Natasha, Antoinette, Habib and Sébastien. All filmed in their homes, they each tell one of their haven-like memories and reveal places from their childhoods.

Natal Kick, Cosmo Ground (South Korea) by Jaeik Kim

Under the occupied shadows, floating cosmo ground, xenoliths, and the breaths perceived from all beings are increasingly coarsened by humanity’s collective experiments. This work considers all existing entities as pioneers of a sentient cosmos, thinking not only from Earth but from the universe at large, and positions both human and non-human elements as agents jointly adventuring through this unknown space, while exploring the ecological emergencies of the present. Starting from the current moment, when space development has once again surfaced as the foremost political theme worldwide, the work engages with the pioneering momentum of the new space age. From initiatives like SpaceX’s multi-planetary civilization program, which extends fascistic projects on Earth into the cosmos, Natal Kick Cosmo Ground seeks to chart new relationships. Natal Kick articulates asymmetric finitude as the release of uneven energy during a supernova explosion, marking the death of a star once considered infinite. In contrast, humanity projects its Earth-bound modes of dominance and thought beyond the planet, spreading terrestrial conflicts and unjust hierarchies into the stars and cosmos under the infinite nominality of the commons, while actively reinforcing extractivist practices. Contemporary society extends into a new space age through scientific production and experimentation that reach beyond the bounds of Earth. Private corporations and state governments attempting to exploit space treat its territory as an inexhaustible resource, deploying the finitude of the cosmos as a propaganda device for political ideologies that transcend national and anthropological borders. In this world, finite from the start, all agents of action may, as Latour suggests, be political agents, encompassing humans and non-humans alike. Here, cosmopolitics gestures toward a cooperative approach for addressing global crises. The work aspires to recreate our relationship with the cosmos and dreams of new political imaginaries. In doing so, it acknowledges all actors, including humans, non-humans, objects, and environments, as political agents and situates them within a shared discourse on planetary conditions.

Home (Belgium) by Hanne Schillemans, Ralph Timmermans

Home is a short film about the fragility of life and the virtue of solitude. A faceless figure attempting not to resist the endless waves of pointlessness. Home explores the tension between presence and absence within the strange choreography of existing. The protagonist’s nudity, devoid of eroticism, emphasizes vulnerability and the human form as a part not nature, reinforcing the film’s existential themes.  The figure remains faceless, allowing her to become anyone — or everyone, shifting the focus away from personal identity and stressing instinct over intellect, being over persona. Home oscillates between the micro and the macro, between intimacy and vastness. Ants crawling with tireless precision, the sun rendered in cosmic proximity. In this interplay the human body becomes just another element: fragile, raw, exposed and dwarfed by the enormity of the natural world. Home meditates on aloneness not as absence, but as condition. It invites the viewer to witness a body moving through a universe that does not look back. Accompanied by music that is as raw as it is emotional, the film does not conform to conventional cinematic structures but instead allows the audience to immerse themselves in the rhythm of isolation and the ebb and flow of meaning in an indifferent world.

Stand Alone is a quiet, personal reflection on what it means to keep moving—alone—through life’s uncertainties. Following the meandering path of a snake, the film becomes a mirror for our own inner journeys, where direction is unclear, and every step is shaped by instinct, struggle, and small, hard-won wisdoms. In a world that often overwhelms with noise and disconnection, Stand Alone finds strength in solitude and beauty in persistence.
