Our yearly showcase of Dutch fantastic shorts consists of four compilations this year. This third session comes with strange creatures aplenty, including a mermaid who may or may not be trustworthy, or a bunch of very slow robots. Not strange, but lost: an astronaut who’s been abandoned on the moon. We'd rather witness earth’s creation, cause that comes with coffee.
None of the filmmakers will be present for this rerun screening.
A TV mockumentary and loving parody of 1970s educational videos in one, Our Friend the Robot attempts to teach the audience what goes on inside these futuristic metallic beings. The set design, visuals and hilarious deadpan tone are all excellent.
Father Ivo and son Peer live in isolation, protected against 'dangerous' mermaids from the outside. As Peer starts uncovering the truth, he is faced with the choice between reality and his father's illusions. Contemporary folk horror with a twist.
In another dimension, the Creators are working on a project and gradually nearing a result. But creating a world that mirrors their imagination is no easy task, even for them.
A lonely astronaut is left behind on the moon after his coming out. This free flowing stop motion short was based on director Robin Noorda’s eponymous poem which tackles social and environmental issues.
