Reteena 2024 at the CCCB

Session 1. (Up)rooted – 4.00 pm

The legacy handed down by our ancestors is evident among us; we’re an amalgamation of the experiences and stories of others who loved each other long before us. Clinging to past memories and images, we attempt to rebuild a lost heritage.

Session 2. An act of faith – 6.00 pm

Waiting, contemplating, questioning. Challenging the status quo and the fairness of the laws that govern it. A desire for religiosity that transcends the tangible. Within these short films lies an invitation to search for meaning in the chaos of existence.

Session 3. Killing adolescence – 8.00 pm

There comes a point in everyone’s life when they’re forced to break with the reality they’ve constructed throughout their childhood and adolescence. In this session, we explore this process through the experiences of the protagonists: from fleeing the nest to facing the challenges of adulthood, we’ll see how people end up killing the adolescent inside them.
