The Pupil
De Pupil
Directed by Karin Junger
Netherlands, Belgium · 2025
Twelve-year-old Daan admires his football coach Ries (45), who gradually becomes a significant influence in his life and slowly manipulates
him into a web of abuse. Daan's behaviour begins to spiral out of control – he skips school, gets into fights, and distances himself from family
and friends. Inside Daan‘s turbulent emotional world, validation and special attention gradually intertwine with shame and secrecy, which in
many ways echoes the psychological sharpness of
Adolescence.

Matapanki
Directed by Diego "Mapache" Fuentes
Chile · 2025
Ricardo is a punk who spends his days drinking cheap alcohol, going to gigs and wandering the streets of the outskirts with his two best friends, Mella and Claudia. Beneath his tough exterior lies a fragile tenderness: he lives with and cares for his grandmother, María Luisa, the only emotional anchor in his chaotic life. One night, during a reckless drinking session, Ricardo tries a strange, clandestinely brewed alcoholic drink known as Matapanki. From that moment on, he gains alcohol-fuelled superpowers that activate every time he drinks the potion. This places Ricardo in a dilemma: he is unsure whether to become a superhero and embrace the responsibility of changing society. But when alcohol and rage take over, Ricardo recklessly springs into action and commits a brutal, irreversible mistake that ignites an international conflict.

Bats & Bugs
Directed by Lena von Döhren
Switzerland · 2026
Deep in the jungle, everything seems to be going as usual—until a lantern lights up at night and throws the animals into chaos. Countless insects can't resist, are magically attracted to the light, and fall into a strange trance.
The unusual commotion awakens a family of bats, and while the large bats use the bright spectacle to hunt, the little bat child rescues a firefly, a fly, and a moth.
The next evening, the lantern shines again, and the little bat tries everything to protect the insects from the spell of the dangerous light. She injures herself in the process, but the little animals are immediately on the spot: What luck!

Splish Splash Forever!
Directed by Natascha Beller
Switzerland
POLAS (11) ’s best—and only—friend is Polly (11). At the local outdoor swimming pool “Splish Splash”, where
Polly’s parents run a café, the girls feel at home. When the municipal council decides to close the pool for
financial reasons, Polly’s family emigrates.
Unable to accept that her friend is gone for good, Pola becomes determined to save the pool, believing that
its reopening will bring Polly back. She joins forces with Rosalie (11), a clever new classmate who hopes the
campaign will also lead to friendship.
The girls launch a petition against the closure and begin to challenge the decision publicly. What starts as a
personal mission turns into an act of civic engagement: they gather signatures, confront adults in
positions of power, and manage to draw the a?ention of the city president. As the deadline approaches,
they realise they need broader support. Pola overcomes her fear of rejection and mobilises her classmates,
learning how collective action can create change.
When Pola finally realises that Polly will not return, her motivation collapses. The campaign fails, and
Rosalie understands that Pola’s fight was driven by loss rather than conviction. Only at the last moment
does Pola recognise that the petition is no longer about the past, but about standing up for the community
and the children’s right to public space.
With renewed determination and unexpected support, Pola helps turn the tide. Splish Splash is saved and
reopens as an eco-friendly swimming pool. Pola finds her place among the other children and forms a
genuine friendship with Rosalie—learning that le?ing go and political engagement can go hand in hand.
