Some Kind Of Quest by Andrew Wilcox


What happens when artwork becomes life’s work? When creator becomes a caretaker? SOME KIND OF QUEST, from Sylvain Labs, Greencard Pictures and director, Andrew Wilcox, is a film that invites you into the singular world of Northlandz, a 52,000-square-foot model train installation just 75 minutes outside of Manhattan, and into the ornery mind of the man—and steadfast wife—who brought it all to life.

ONWARD by Cale Glendening


Konki and his family live near Deluun Village, in the Altai Mountains of Western Mongolia, where the last six generations of his bloodline have continued the art and tradition of eagle hunting.

At the age of 29, Konki has spent 21 of his years herding animals as a way to support his family. After the tragic loss of his father two years ago, Konki felt a call to his father’s passion of eagle hunting. This changed the course of his life, allowing him to connect not only with family he’s lost, but the one he still has.

His cousin Onei is teaching him as they travel across the vast, sprawling tundra and majestic mountains of their homeland. He also plans to pass down what he learns to his four-year-old son, Berdibek, who has already taken an interest in the eagles. Konki’s new path ensures the continuation of this tradition for both his family and the heritage of his culture.

There are few things more beautiful than discovering who you were meant to be by honoring where you’ve come from.

Ganz Berlin – COPYCAT CLUB by Riccardo Torresi


A two minute journey in a distopic reality where Berlin is seen in the light of its constant changing. Oniric beasts and tentacles run through the city leaving no trace of what’s left behind, melting things in an undistinguished pink blob. Conceived as a music video for Copycat Club’s „Ganz Berlin“, this animation pushed the lyrics to the limit, giving shape to a disturbing and gloomy scenario.

Direction & animation: Riccardo Torresi
special thanks: Andrea Cucinotta, Tanade Amornpiyalerk, Yazan Tabaza

Music: Copycat Club – Ganz Berlin
