A dreamlike oil-on-glass short where Juana Borrero, 19th-century Cuban painter-poet, wanders a tropical Eden guided by a Blue Rabbit and facing a wounded Velociraptor — an evocative meditation on memory, transformation, and the blurred lines between art and dream.

Action Bog / Action Bog
Winston Hacking (Rubber Cement Films)Canada, 2025, 1'23''
A feverish stasis collapses into infinite distraction, spinning on the axis of an algorithm. Each pulse, an uncertain tone, breathes electricity into a half-alive world.

Five orphans walk along a ditch and find dead bodies in a society where protests against the government are on the rise.
