Shorts: Flashbacks to the Present
IDFA 2025
In carefully crafted and beautifully executed films, the filmmakers recount memories of violence, protest and occupation that still haunt us today.
Programme
Dead Tongue
As an officer in the Chilean secret service during the military dictatorship, íngrid Olderöck used dogs to torture and rape prisoners. More than 20 years after her death, the fear she instilled is still very much alive.
As I Lay Dying
When it all ended, each of us went our own way. Accompanied by jerky footage of the flaring protests in Tehran in 2009 – in which the energy of the moment is palpable – a calm voice recounts what became of the people who took part.
Intersecting Memory
Shayma was six when the Second Intifada began in Palestine. As time passes, she rediscovers old videotapes that blend childhood memories with stark scenes of Hebron. A powerful portrait of childhood under Israeli occupation.
