The story takes place in the village of Wupperthal, and the tea fields nearby. The ongoing construction of a corporate golf estate means tension amongst the inhabitants hangs over the velvet skies and gentle farm life. The estate promises to bring much-needed employment to the area, but at a cost: it would be built over our protagonist Carissa’s grandfather’s rooibos farm.

QUICK AND DIRTY: LIVE FROM LOCARNOGonga (Nikolo Ghviniashvili) and Bart (Nika Gongadze) are cousins. They set up a get-rich-quick scheme by converting rusty crosses found in the local landfill into neon crucifixes. Their sales efforts result in a kaleidoscopic journey through the homes of fascinating people. Holy Electricity serves as an unconventional love letter to the city of Tbilisi. Kotetishvili wants to capture the unrelentingly colourful capital in all of its magnificence.

Kit Zauhar’s sophomore effort is a cringe comedy/drama about strange AirBnb interactions between socially stunted host Adam (Ian Edlund) and his two guests, Tessa (Kit Zauhar) and her boyfriend Ben (Zane Pais), who are visiting for a high-school reunion. Razor-sharp commentary about intimacy – how it’s weaponised, desired and feared – is at the heart of this minimalistic film. In This Closeness, we stay exclusively within the walls of a drab, corporate-ish Philadelphia apartment.
