Official Selection
Irish première
Olivo Barbieri's aerial views of spectacular architectural creations, both ancient and modern, explore notions of scale, idealism, and ambition and redefine our understanding of otherwise familiar urban spaces. Barbieri describes Site Specific as "The world as a temporary site-specific installation... the foundation of our sense of belonging and our identity, seen from afar, as a great scale model: the city as an avatar of itself."

Official Selection
European première
Head Trauma is the follow-up to Lance Weiler's internationally successful award wining feature film, The Last Broadcast. Head Trauma is a psychological horror film that pushes the envelope on what is possible within an independent feature film. It is the story of George Walker, a down and out transient, who travels back home after a 20-year absence only to find the house where he spent his childhood summers, condemned and slated for demolition.
George's ambitious decision to save the house he has inherited brings misfortune when a bizarre accident causes him to fall and strike his head. He becomes plagued by vivid nightmares, which depict the murder of a young woman in the woods by a strange hooded figure. As he tries to make sense of the images that haunt him, his nightmares begin to cross over into his reality, and he becomes convinced that someone or something is trying to kill him.
