Kooli Film 2025: “The Journey”

The second screening takes viewers on a variety of journeys — both internal and external. It’s a passage toward connection, art, regret, and self-discovery, where each story explores how we move forward — sometimes backward, sometimes into the unknown.

________________________________________

(Dis)connected – Tess Elbers (NL), Corrie Bezuijen (NL), Mihail Filkov (BG), Amelia Crosswaite (UK), Oskar Biermann (NO), Dimosthenis Athanasoulis (GR), Maria Magafa (GR)

A documentary built around one simple yet profound question: “What makes you feel connected?” — revealing a web of experiences, emotions, and perspectives.

________________________________________

My Life in Art – Cameraman – dir. Anano Gogia

A documentary about Omar Bregvadze, a studio cameraman with decades of experience who has devoted his life to preserving the art of film. The film offers an intimate look at his journey — from capturing iconic moments to protecting historical cameras now threatened by the demolition of their storage.

________________________________________

What’s It All For? – dir. Emmeliine Rosental

Energetic and curious Marta invites her three best friends on a hike, but all they find are things to complain about. After a tragic accident, they realize the importance of valuing every moment — before it’s too late.

________________________________________

Or Something Like That (Oder so) – dir. Peer Langenheim

“So, what are you doing these days?” — a question heard far too often after finishing school. What happens to old friendships? Are you an adult now? Or something like that?

________________________________________

Live Poets Society – dir. Nedijeljko Biliã

If being a poet were easy, everyone would be a poet...

________________________________________

Steps of Repentance – dir. Kaur Hallik

Karl takes the night shift guarding a playground but senses he isn’t alone. Is someone there with him — or is something else at play?

________________________________________

Miau Miau – dir. Lina Wegman

A spaceship flies past an unknown planet. A group of robots — and one curious cat — begin to explore this new world.

________________________________________

My Maria – dir. Roosi Uusen

The leader of a group of boys suspects his friend of stealing his girlfriend, leading to a tense interrogation.

________________________________________

Damn the Sound! – dir. Paul Piirimäe

Sound work is often undervalued on a film set. After a string of failures and humiliations, the sound engineer is on the verge of a breakdown. What happens when, one day, he simply doesn’t show up?

________________________________________

In the Blink of an Eye – dir. Aasa Karlotte Kompus, Liis Ethel Halling

As Ines’s life flashes before her eyes, her memories begin to distort and fade.

________________________________________

Moving On to the Past – dir. Ines Tellis

A literature-loving girl loses her job and decides to dedicate herself to art, but falls into the trap of creative stagnation. Searching for inspiration leads to conflict with her friends — until she realizes the answer was right in front of her all along, hidden behind the shadows of her past.

________________________________________

Prosopagnosia – dir. Matvii Kondratiuk

A film exploring the inner world of a person living with face-blindness, struggling to distinguish faces that all blur into one — a reflection on the fragility of identity and perception.
