Toronto, Paris, Tehran, London and Stockholm. These are where the creators of these videos and short films are geographically located in, what ties them together? The journey begins with letters; A moment of suspense, while we know it won\u2019t last long, leads us to fragile moments of a young girl\u2019s dream, driven to a trance where its performers are only known by their lips and their eyes; The trip continues with a cheerful and at the same time tragic dance moves of a restless soul transporting us along the sidewalk of an unknown city. Moving back in time, we encounter an alternative story of Creation while we long for a solution of our own everyday crisis. Playing it cool for 2 minutes, the wicked joy of an endless computer game is enough to bring us back to the reality of the virtual world. Where we are free to choose to get on board surfing the waves of a music video or to get hypnotized like its character\u2019s daily struggle with death. We will never be the same\u2026<\/p>\n
