FC CHECHNYA (70 mins):
FC Chechnya is a football club run solely by Chechen refugees and asylum seekers in Carinthia. Acting as a social support base and a means for psychological release during the horrendously drawn-out and mentally exhausting asylum process, the football club is home to a number of fascinating stories. The film focuses on three young asylum seekers who find themselves submerged in the murky waters of the asylum seeking process. Through a series of perceptive and insightful interviews, the film explores their hopes and dreams for the future, and how football provides them a lifeline to the world they were once used to.
FUNGUS (SVAMP) (8 mins):
Paralyzed by grief and with an itchy genital area, Katrin lets things fall apart.
