Curated by Pol Merchan

This selection of short films explores the plasticity and corporeality of cinema—stretching, cutting, transforming, and amplifying its tentacular extensions. Celebrating the strangeness of experimentation, the works traverse a wide range of media, settings, and themes: from a reimagined myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, to clay dildos that rewrite history; from animations blending flowers and genitalia, to desktop cinema essays exploring race, class, and gender through typography.

More than a short film program, this selection acts as an art class of possibilities, where images and textures continually reshape themselves, offering a glimpse into the endless potential of images to transform perception.
