Already unlocked? for access

Be amazed! Fasten your seat belt and dive into 24 films in less than 60 minutes. Here is the Nordic-Baltic Competition program for Commissioned Films, including commercials, music videos, information films, identity work, and one or two exhibition pieces. In other words, all the fun the industry makes for a customer. A diverse, but very commercial program that the jury should have a tough job to judge and fun to watch for the rest of us.

The films are competing for the festival award for Best Commissioned Film.

A heartbroken man stuck in grief is looking out his window towards a past love, in his floating house amongst the stars. Myling, a mysterious entity, appears and delves into the dark depths of the hidden basement, to find and uproot the pulsating source. As the entity rips out the growth, the man must confront his fiery pain, to ultimately be able to step outside and move on.
