"What is a word," asked William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet. It is everything, nothing, but above all also something personal. The films included in this competition screening are organized by the names of their main characters and invite us to explore their complex, multifaceted portrayals. Family ties are explored in the short film 'Richard' (what do our parents' memories hide?) and 'Eva' (what is the origin of motherhood?). Puberty Jimbob is probably the weirdest name for a character in this show, but it's less weird compared to the character's world where lumps have mouths and people don't have faces. Leela's name creates dreams of freedom when your world oppresses you. "Claudia (title of work)" asks us about the ethics of filmmaking when an actress gets involved in the process of creating a film. And Suleiman can be sung as a modern anti-hero of the Paris suburbs. The upcoming movies are full of mysteries and dilemmas. Name them!
