Little Chances

Program

It’s sometimes hard to shake off the feeling that we don’t fit in. Even more so when the world does little to hide the fact that they don’t see us as a part of their varnished image of reality. Activist documentary Drmun is Ours questions the process of nationalization and the problems that arise from the ineptitude of the cold state bureaucracies to comprehend a centuries-old way of life of a community. The Best Orchestra in the World is a fiction film about a sock who wishes to become a part of the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra. In the documentary Mathilda and The Love Room, social worker Mathilda reveals the becoming of a special room: a space for the homeless to make love. Peel is an animated meditative unraveling of the poetry that is in the details of everyday life in a retirement home told through drawings. How much of a chance do a lonely teacher, school worker, and first grader stand to turn their lives in a completely new direction? Find out in the Icelandic film Monday.
