Less than 5gr of Saffron
Golnaz is a young Iranian immigrant trying to adjust to her new life in Germany. An empty refrigerator draws her towards the supermarket, where she encounters their newest product: saffron. An improvised meal takes her back to traumatic events.
Ito Meikyu
Japanese art history and literature unfold like a fresco of drawn, animated and auditory scenes. How do you wander through this virtual world, and what do you get to see? Play hide and seek in a universe where the spectator is at the centre.
