DIMATO
Urbain Appeltans (Belgium)
Antiques dealer Martijn Vandezande (Staf Hoste) decides to retire and sells
up. He goes for a cycle ride into the country and meets up with Wannes Tores
(Rem Vastenavonde), the owner of a boat ('Dimato'). They hit it off and join
forces in a new life together. This is a deceptively simple movie - but is
beautifully crafted in every department.

CALANDA
Otto Horn (Germany)
The title refers to the town in Spain where the famous (or infamous!) film
director Luis Bunuel was born in 1900. The reporter (Horst Dieter Bürkle)
tells us he is looking for Bunuel's house, and the effect that Calanda had
on the director. There are a number of clips (mostly in B&W) from some
of the films, including the notorious surreal Le Chien Andalou.

SCHÄFCHEN ZÄHLEN (COUNTING SHEEP)
Sven Taddicken (Germany)
As the maker's own description has it - 'A poetic grotesquery about erotic
longings, a fateful children's toy and the punctuality of German trains'
- but that isn't the half of it!
