📽️ PROGRAM SHOOT! FILM PROGRAM 📽️

Come watch short films created by local student filmmakers in the Usva theatre this Thursday! Get ready to laugh, cry, wonder and shudder at our intriguing and diverse film program 🎞️

The 2024 SHOOT! film program consists of:

- Poor Man’s Fortune, dir. Paul Füchsl:
When a crafty homeless man is mistaken for a famous life coach, he finally sees an opportunity to free himself from the clutches of poverty.

- How to Become a Bug + An Awkward Dinner, dir. Luz Mercedes:
Luz Mercedes, also known as ‘huny’ from their experimental electronic sound art project, aims to create intimate dreamscapes through their two short films “How to Become a Bug” and “An Awkward Dinner”, conveying a fragmented visual narrative of vulnerability, obscured memory and the surprising places a mind can go at night.

- De Schim, dir. Maurice Borchers and Luna de Klein:
Two detectives investigate the death of a woman in an abandoned house. When unexplained things start to happen, no one is safe. Everything is at stake. There seems to be no turning back - or is there?

- Candela, dir. Vlad Bazga, Robert Vesler and Maxim Pronin:
Got a light? An insoluble quest.

Turn on your headlights and get ready for UsFest’s ‘Off-Track’ Evening Programme, which brings a unique mix of bands and musical experiences 🌄

Immerse yourself in the rhythms of:

Basement Four: Coming from different musical backgrounds, the members of Basement Four found their collective groove during weekly jams in the basement of a music school in Groningen, resulting in a unique combination of rap, R&B, jazz and accordion influences.

Bitterlemon: Blends indie rock with synth pop and tops it off with a dose of melancholy. The band takes listeners on a dreamy journey with big layers of guitars and synths.

Lange Mannen Met Haast: Guitarist Joost Meijer and percussionist Joek Parmentier bring Dutch-language poetic indie-pop with a touch of cabaret. Their playful music makes the audience laugh, cry, and experience everything in between.

Ioana Iorgu: An independent music producer, a self-taught guitarist and drummer based in Groningen, Ioana creates an unsettling yet absorbing atmosphere with dissonant post-punk guitars and bone-dry hunting drums that directly contrast the softly spoken cold lyrics.
