Unknown

Kooli Film 2025: “The Unknown” Seven short films, seven glimpses into the unknown — through fear, love, self-discovery, and imagination.

Broadcast Error – dir. Rasmus Jan Karus On a stormy winter night, a small farmhouse stands alone in a snowy field. A child watches cartoons on a cathode-ray TV while the grandmother busies herself in the kitchen. Suddenly, the broadcast is interrupted by a nationwide alert warning of something immense approaching. The child asks what’s happening — but by then, it’s already too late.

The Face in Shards – dir. Karina Devadze The life of a teenager whose face is made of broken fragments — and the redemptive power of a mother’s love.

The Book (Bokken) – dir. Alicia Norman When the cameras never turn off, freedom becomes nothing more than an illusion.

GROSS. – dir. Avdotya The journey of a dancer trying to reconnect with her own body.

I Love You Three Tomatoes Worth – dir. Leela Mia Auväärt We all carry love within us, like tomatoes ripening in a summer greenhouse. But when we give it all away — how much do we have left for ourselves?

SIN (PATT) – dir. Marie Teppart Can a person pass judgment on themselves? Can one find redemption? A director’s relationship with her actors turns into a struggle for control that breaks out from the rehearsal room onto the stage — and into reality. The redemption of one woman, one tool.

Birdies – dir. Franka Bogović, Oleksandr Saško Moskalov Two animators create a chalk-drawn horror film inspired by Hitchcock’s The Birds. Dim wood, storm sounds, and tension-filled music revive an old fear in a new form.

Something is Still Missing – dir. Maia Tüür & Säde Sibul We may have everything, yet something is always missing. Sometimes, what’s missing can be found — in the most magical way.
