For Hire! Bangalore Rickshaw by Xaver Xylophon

"Green, yellow, black. They are the blood in the veins of Bangalore: the 450.000 rickshaws and their drivers. Knocked together from bits and pieces, decorated, ready for the junk heap or carefully maintained like antique cars, the vehicles are as charismatic as their owners, who brave the monstrous traffic of this metropolis daringly, sleepy, chattering or stoic, making sure the passanger's trip from A to B will be full of memorable experiences.
Based on days of riding around in rickshaws and drawings made locally, this animation captures the tough workaday life of a rickshaw driver, seen through the eyes of a European visitor."

Rêves de brume / The Mist Is Coming In by Sophie Racine

"A man leaves the urban chaos for the silence of a mountain. He reaches a hut, only to find fog has enveloped the mountain, leaving nothing but white surroundings. He stops."
