International Short Film Festival Berlin - INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

External circumstances and social pressures shape and even threaten the lives of the characters in Look For ... Existential Realities: whether it is deep concern for their families, loss of approval or the looming calamities of our world.



In Haiti, two parents anxiously await a phone call from the USA, while passengers on a train sketch their deepest fears and a Lebanese household prepares for the worst, as an airstrike appears imminent. Amid personal crises and social uncertainty, they navigate their way through strong emotions, loss, longing and existential risks.
