Portrait and Temporality \ Pouya Ahmadi \ Switzerland.
#shortfilm see it in seconds.
Essentially portraits visualize human beings, who exist temporally. Yet this genre has traditionally approached identity as a timeless entity rather than as a temporal un-folding. Thinking of the human body and the face, we have the association to a lively organism who is interacting with the environment and is constantly changing. The change of the organism reveals itself through the passage of time. The visual inquiry questions the essential elements of the portrait which engage the spectator with the notion of temporality, change and the human being as a living being.
Pouya Ahmadi is a Swiss-based Iranian graphic designer, filmmaker and researcher. 2004 to present, member of Iranian Graphic Designers Society (IGDS)

The Best Buddhist \ Wiracha Daochai \ Thailand.
#shortfilm see it in seconds.
"I shot this film in the heart of London, Piccadilly Circus, where I found a Buddha image on an exchange-money advertising poster. I couldn't see any relations between my holy prophet and GBP or USD. In my Buddhist country, Thailand, Buddha is the sacred figure. All good Thai Buddhists normally go to the temple and worship holy Buddha. What have Westerners done to my religion? I have been trying to be optimistic, and finally, I came up with a thought that I have to thank them for this. Now, living in this bustling city, we can find it easier to worship our Buddha on the road, when we have no time to go to the temple!
Wiracha Daochai,born in 1984, is an Art Worker who is studying MA Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London. He usually brings controversy into his arts as he feels it is the best way to examine the fallacy in the truth. Wiracha spent his childhood as a monk for 8 years and had worked as a writer, a lyric-composer, and a creative and content provider in Bangkok, Thailand.

No Time \ Carolina Arce Herrero \ Spain
#shortfilm see it in seconds
This video intends to propose that perhaps, there is no time like an unidirectional succession of realities, and maybe, what we know as present past and future, could be the same time in different spaces.
Carolina try to be, and would like to be forever a modest filmmaker.
