IC8-French Fries in the Rain

BATATA FRITA NA CHUVA (FRENCH FRIES IN THE RAIN)

It’s a rainy night at the French Fries and Açaí trailer, run by two trans girls in a community caught between rural and urban life. Customers gather, kids make a mess, and someone burns photos. A boy sees something. Rain drums on the trailer roof. The fryer hisses. For a moment, the two sounds blur— heartbreak disguised as hunger.

IC8-Heaven Will Wait

HEAVEN WILL WAIT

Between Amsterdam and Brussels, a group of young women drift through nights and days of bodies, parties and fleeting encounters. They wield their sexuality with confidence, yet their world brims with tension: caught between watching and being watched. Heaven Will Wait is a hybrid film about desires shaped by the gaze of others. It is also an ode to female friendship.

DI NOTTE (AT NIGHT)

It’s almost night on the mountain. A solitary car moves along the road. At the wheel, someone starts singing a strange lullaby …

LIKE MOTHS TO LIGHT

A woman talks to us from inside a machine that records her brain activity. She describes a mental labyrinth combining an old amusement park called Dreamland, 19th-century dream photographs, con- temporary experiments in mental decoding using AI, and Prophetic, a start-up whose goal is to control dreams. But what do our dreams see when they look back at us?
