COMPETITION PROGRAMME 1
Briefly Human
What does death taste like when it shows up uninvited? Dress up. Settle things. Join the masked dance. And hope you don’t turn into a soul-eating demon. We’re only briefly human. What comes next is not our business. Not yet.
Films:
The Masque of the Red Death by Rune Callewaert (Belgium, 2024)
When the eccentric owner of a bustling nightclub keeps an eye on his business, his gaze falls on a mysterious lady dressed in red whom he wants to make his own at all costs.

The Masque of the Red Death is a stop-motion allegory about lust, decadence and decay.
