"OBERHAUSEN ON TOUR" PROGRAM

KENGERE, 2011
Uganda | Color, 22’ 
Director: Peter Tukei Muhumuza
This stop-motion animation tells the story of a cyclist who returns to a village in search of a tape that contains the voices of victims who were locked in train wagons and set ablaze in 1989.

ATROPHY, 2009
South Africa | Color, 8´
Director: Palesa Shongwe
Picture, poetry, voice and music are woven together into a contemplative short film about the lingering memory of youth, the loss of spontaneity and the quiet fear of growing up. Using dance as a metaphor, this visual composition reflects on how, in growing up, freedom and self-expression can become stifled.

Director: Sandro Aguilar
In this place, no one belongs together, everything changes before our eyes.

SANS-TITRE, 2010
France | Color, 15´
