DEMONS, 5min., Switzerland
Directed by Humbi Entress
“Demons” is a raw and powerful dance film by choreographer and dancer Mès Lesne that captures the essence of our times, that sense of desperation and helplessness that we all feel in the face of overwhelming challenges. Against the breathtaking backdrop of a melting glacier in the Swiss Alps, this film captures the pain and frustration of fighting our inner demons amidst the challenges of climate change. Through the gloom, there is a glimmer of hope, a sense that if we can only find the strength to fight our inner demons, we can still make a difference, still change the course of our collective destiny.

REPLICA, 9min, France

REPLICA is a choreographic film staging human nature. The one where humans become ‘normalized’ and adhere more and more to a form of standardization.
