BORDERS is live — our June Issue on Labocine.

Featuring over 120 border-crossing films from the Science New Wave, this issue explores the lines we draw, cross, enforce, dissolve, and reimagine.

Borders divide and define. They protect, contain, reveal, and transform. From cells to nations, identities to ecologies, visible lines to invisible thresholds — BORDERS gathers films that ask what happens at the edge, where one system ends and another begins.

"A Body Leaves An Impression" directed by Fiona Tommasi.

After a solar storm, a sea creature washes ashore. Its journey unfolds as a reflection on birth and loss amidst the desolate landscape. The creature wanders the empty expanse, seeking understanding in the silence of its surroundings. In a final act ,she makes herself disappear, merging with the earth, a subtle reminder of life’s fleeting nature and the mysteries of existence.

"Puro andar" directed by Luciana Decker Orozco.

Bolivian artist and filmmaker Luciana Decker Orozco delves into ancient and essential acts: eating, masticating and digesting. Her suggestive celluloid slips through mouths, intestines and entrails, as well as experiments in the catacombs of the human being and the Earth.

Inspired by the avant-gardist and indigenist Peruvian writer Gamaliel Chumata, the surface and the underground, the real and the extraordinary, mysteriously merge together.

Pick of the day: "Immortal" directed by Sísifo/Juliana Salinas.

Immortal is a visual poem about youth; a dialogue between three voices.

The short explores time and the poetry of embodiment, lingering in the space between the biological and the philosophical.

The young woman is light and idealistic, she presents herself as a gaze, and through her runs the eternity of the present; the now as the only time that exists.

Then there is the older woman, whose youth she no longer posseses, she knows well that time is catching up with her; old age rests on her lap. The idea of immortality is ridiculous to her, and for this reason, she confronts the naivety of the young woman. Finally, the older man idealizes the young person’s sensitivity; he knows that youth is fleeting, but its beauty lies in dreaming of its eternity.

"Becoming Landscape" directed by Eva Giolo.

Eva Giolo, a Belgian artist whose work explores the possibilities of film, video, and installation, presents us in her second appearance at the festival with a lyrical portrait of Fogo Island in Canada, re-situating us in nature, in the act of observing and waiting, while we meditate on the relationships between our bodies and the landscape, consciousness, and the circular rhythm of time.

OPEN CALL — JUNE ISSUE
BORDERS

Borders define and divide. They separate, contain, protect — but also reveal, contrast, and give form. A border is never neutral. It marks a threshold: between inside and outside, self and other, signal and noise.

For our June issue, we invite films that explore borders across scales — biological membranes, political frontiers, cultural lines, perceptual limits, ecological thresholds, invisible systems.

What happens at the edge?
Where does one system end and another begin?
Can a border be porous, unstable, generative?

We are looking for works that examine how borders are drawn, enforced, resisted, dissolved, or reimagined. Films that engage contradiction: separation and connection, violence and transformation, definition and possibility.

From cells to nations, identities to ecologies, visible lines to unseen boundaries — we welcome experimental, documentary, hybrid, scientific, poetic, and speculative forms.

We also invite visions that move beyond the border entirely: fragile, utopian, impossible, or emergent ways of living without edges.

Deadline: May 20

May is here. Body Atlas unfolds on Labocine—where bodies and environments echo, overlap, and transform one another.
Over 100 films from the Science New Wave.

A new issue tracing shifting forms and shared terrains. Surfaces become passages. Boundaries soften. Organs echo territories, tissues suggest terrain, and gestures trace invisible routes through lived space. Across these works, scales collapse and expand—what is held within begins to mirror what surrounds. This is not a fixed map, but an unfolding cartography—where bodies and environments continuously inscribe one another.
