DRAW YOUR GUN
Wouter Jansen | Live-Action | 15:00 | PREMIERE

Enter the bleakest place in the ugly sad and forgotten sewers of the old west.
A ghost-town where the scent of anything good seems to be long gone.
When local artist Luc le Blanc draws the portrait of his enemy on a wanted poster, a chain reaction of killings and fraudulence is started.

HITCHCOCK HITCHCOCK
Kuba Szutkowski, Edgar Kapp | Live-Action | 08:00

The conflict between a shopkeeper and his mother escalates. There is violence he will regret. A naive passerby questions the tension using film references. A comic ode to suspense cinema.
