“Milk”
Director: Stefanie Kolk (NL 2023, 96 min.) Film description of the festival: The young couple Robin and Jonas go through a time of great sadness because their baby is born as a stillborn. When Robin’s body begins to produce breast milk, it is a double-edged sword: final connection with the deceased child and constant reminder of the pain. Since Robin is unable to throw away the milk, bottles soon start piling up everywhere. After visiting a self-help group, Robin decides to donate her milk – but this turns out to be more difficult than expected… In her sensitive feature film debut, Kolk completely avoids melodramatic effects and relies on the power of quiet moments.

“Fairy Garden”
Gergő Somogyvári (HU/RO/HR 2023, 83 min)Film description of the festival: Pushed to the margins of Hungarian society by repression and discrimination – also officially in the form of law – Laci and Fanni live together in a house in a sparse forest. Since she was rejected by her parents because she is trans, Fanni has been living with the homeless man who is around forty years older than her. The “purpose shared apartment” has become a respectful friendship, and “neighbor” Aranka has grown fond of Fanni as well. Gergő Somogyvári accompanies the three with gentle cinematic observation, emphasizes their defensive dignity and documents a solidarity that urgently needs to find its way into the mainstream of society.
