HOFF: Poetic Shorts: In Other Words

In deze zes korte films krijgen beelden en beweging de ruimte om verhalen te vertellen die zich niet zomaar in woorden laten vangen. Van surrealistische ontmoetingen tot persoonlijke verhalen over verlies en ergens bij willen horen: In Other Words verkent de grens tussen wat we kunnen vertellen en wat we alleen kunnen voelen.

Through striking imagery, movement and unexpected forms of storytelling, these six short films explore what lies beyond language. From surreal encounters to intimate reflections on grief and belonging, In Other Words celebrates cinema’s ability to make us feel what words alone cannot express.
