Fresh Cuts - Mindscape

In this block we get a glimpse into the minds of characters who struggle with doubt, loss, desire and the unreliability of their own perspective. The films show how our thoughts can be distorted by grief, fear or love. An intimate but also slightly alienating film block about blurring boundaries: between then and now, between imagination and truth. TheThingsWeDo - Nick Cremers A young boy bakes a cake for his mother and hopes that it will satisfy her extreme hunger. A Wave - Rogier Mulder When her younger boyfriend asks her to marry him, Lara realizes that she wants to end the relationship. But escaping the situation on a boat with him turns out to be more difficult than expected. To Where the Sky Colors Blue - Lindy van Hillo At an abandoned gas station, 28-year-old Rue gets stranded due to car trouble. There his path crosses that of gas station attendant Rayleigh and the dreamy customer Halley. As their lives intersect, their stories slowly unfold through layers of time, in which memories and the consequences of their choices become inextricably intertwined. The Upper Room - Tatum Hekkert Tatum Hekkert dives into the world of her grandmother with dementia. The events that grandma has experienced become inspiration for a small decor, which makes the film balance on the edge of fiction. How does this elusive reality shape the new bond between granddaughter and grandmother?
