Competition Programme 6 SOULS

The departure of a person from life has been considered the end of everything, great liberation, transition to heaven, hell, or purgatory. In any case, the mystery of life and death has prompted countless theologians, philosophers, and other thinkers to seek an answer to the question — what next? These short films, each in their own way, deal with the theme of death and recovery. Maybe it’s art that still makes us immortal?
