\u00dclo Pikkov (Silmviburlane)<\/br>Estonia, 2026, 6'00''<\/br>
The experimental short film Ag<\/i> explores the fragile boundary between analogue film and the digital image. At its core is a snake shedding its skin, waiting for a new digital one to form. Letting go of the analogue body becomes both a technological shift and an emotional farewell.<\/p> <\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t A young woman struggles with the challenges of adulthood and her aching wisdom tooth.

The discovery of a mysterious switch, hidden beneath the ivy on a nearby tree trunk, reveals their deepest desires and longings.
