HALF ELF by Jón Bjarki Magnússon (Iceland 2021, 1:04, engl subtitles)
A lighthouse keeper prepares his earthly funeral while trying to reconnect the elf within. Hulda and Trausti have shared a roof on Icelandic shores for over seventy years. Her love of books is matched by his love of stones. When he bursts out singing, she begs him to stop screaming, when he tells her he wants to change his name to “Elf” she warns his family will abandon him. Now, as his one hundredth birthday nears and Trausti senses the hand of death upon him he is on a quest to find the coffin that can carry this elf back to the mysteries beyond…. Meanwhile, Hulda retreats into a world of poetry with the help of an electric magnifying glass. Half Elf is a modern Icelandic fairy-tale, where life is celebrated – despite everything, despite ourselves and despite the reality that awaits all of us in the end.

THE CORNER by Christa Pfafferott (Germany 2022, 90min, engl subtitles)
Oberdorla. Thuringia. Street corner Sperlingsberg. The swallows are buzzing. A film crew investigates a case.
In 1945, shortly before the end of the war, an unknown American soldier was shot here. A photo went around the world. The corner still looks the same today as it did back then. It seems as if there is an invisible connection between the times.
On the corner, older and younger residents are still touched by the event. Then a young descendant of the soldier appears. He travels to the corner from the US to understand why he feels so connected to his relative. A forensic technician and his team measure the corner and show the residents the war of yore with his 3D images. The film THE CORNER takes place exclusively on a street corner. Archive material, documentary and virtual reality weave past and present, memories and emotions around the place.
The film shows at one corner how complex truth is and how much we are still connected to the events of that time.
