What a trip. Kulyas 2: Zikr-i Ayin is a lean, 92-minute shocker that starts intense and never lets you breathe. It’s the kind of genre piece that understands fear is a craft: clean, crisp sound; muscular editing; striking compositions; and scare design that’s timed like a metronome. On the resources they had, they made magic — and often, it looks and feels bigger than its budget.

There are moments in TPOT 20: Alone when you forget you’re watching a YouTube production. The animation is fluid, dynamic, and technically flawless — every movement, transition, and expression reflects a team that fully understands the twelve principles of animation. Thornbury’s direction combines an expert grasp of timing and rhythm with the nostalgic storytelling DNA of 2000s-era Flash animation, updated through a sharp, modern aesthetic.

Just like at Love & Hope International Film Festival in Barcelona, Giorgi once again proved the strength of his filmmaking voice. His film The Burrow screened with us on October 3rd, 2025, and it was a full house — the audience was completely engaged, reacting to every moment, and truly loving the film.
We were honored to host him and his work in Barcelona. Giorgi represents the future of Georgian cinema — bold, intelligent, emotional, and technically sharp. Having filmmakers like him in our festival reminds us why we do what we do: to celebrate visionaries who push storytelling forward and connect deeply with audiences.

There are films that move you, and then there are films that reach inside your chest and stay there. Tormented, the animated short film by Liz Lugo, is one of those rare works that blends artistry, empathy, and emotional truth with near-flawless craftsmanship.

LOOM” opens with a single, immaculate image: the LOOM.io helm — a tactile, retro-futurist device that looks engineered rather than rendered. That first shot quietly declares the film’s intent: this is science fiction grounded in touch, weight, and memory. From there, writer-director Jesse Cook III guides us into Norah’s private world, where a data vault of a departed loved one allows her to replay stored memories through that paired device. We won’t reveal plot turns — the film deserves to be felt first-hand — but its lens is sharply focused on how we remember, not just what we remember.

There’s something profoundly moving about watching a robot dream. In Not Today, the new animated short by Juan Paulín Lara, that question — can a robot have big dreams? — becomes not just the premise, but the emotional heartbeat of the film.

There are short films that tell a story, and there are others that paint a feeling. Waiting for Cloto, the new experimental sci-fi short by J. Julián Vacas, belongs entirely to the second category. It’s an audiovisual tapestry that blurs the line between mythology, cinema, and music — a hypnotic journey through time, color, and symbolism.

There are thrillers that make your pulse race, and there are thrillers that make your chest tighten. Lift, the Indonesian feature film directed by Randy Chans and produced by Aria Gardadipura and Adha Riantono (from the creative team behind The Raid), falls firmly into the second category — an experience that grips you from its opening minutes and never lets go.

There’s something instantly captivating about Shadows — from the first moment we see Melrose Caverns 1987, the film pulls us straight into its eerie world. Director Sophia Terranova captures the 1980s aesthetic with an honesty and texture that few student films can pull off. The colors, lighting, and tone all work together to create that grainy nostalgia — it feels like something found on an old VHS tape, and that’s part of its charm.

Deadly Still (4 minutes and 49 seconds) wastes no time. It goes straight for the nerves. Written, directed, and performed by Cameron Mosley and Charles Cornick, this short dives into the nightmare of sleep paralysis — that frozen moment between sleep and death, where you can’t move but everything around you moves just fine.
