The Landscape and the Fury

Nicole Vögele

Nominations (full-length films)

A cinematographic essay that centres around the region of the Bosnian-Croatian border near Velika Kladuša, and explores questions of displacement, violence and also everyday life and coincidence. It is about scars that break open, war memories that are awakened, profound encounters between people. A kaleidoscope of landscape and fury.

Crushed

Camille Vigny
Belgium, 2024, 13 min

Nominations (short films)

Using a powerful visual metaphor and from a first-person perspective, the director tells the story of the domestic violence she suffered when she was 18. The devastating impact of this abusive relationship is conveyed with remarkable precision in the interaction between the images and text. A highly courageous political statement, this film is a blood-curdling cry from the dark.
