Best Short Film 2023 Winner

Killing Ourselves

Maya takes her parents and sister to the desert in order to film them for an additional scene in her film. But the day of filming turns into a never-ending family argument, and it becomes unclear whether they will even manage to cooperate and become a team. JURY STATEMENT: A minimalistic and understated drama in a desert that effortlessly merges everyday realism, stylized absurdism, comedy, and a strongly self-reflexive form into a warm and subtle story about a family and a daughter’s attempt to make a film about them.
