Agenda 2100
Stéphanìe Habíb, Thais Guisasola
| Brazil | Short | 14 minutes 59 seconds
In 2100, Earth has crossed +3°C of warming. Ecosystems have collapsed, oceans are toxic, and humanity survives underground under a tyrannical regime. Gaya, pregnant and part of the resistance, risks everything to change history. Using solar storms to open windows in space-time, the rebels send warnings to the past and finally reach Sarah in 2026. But the regime will do anything to stop them, fearing that a changed past could erase its power. Grounded in IPCC projections for a planet 3°C warmer, Agenda 2100 is a dystopian hard sci-fi about motherhood, sacrifice, resistance, and humanity's fight to rewrite its future.

| United States | Documentary, Short
| 5 minutes 48 seconds
A man in his forties, experiencing a profound existential crisis, returns to his country of origin, Italy, to replace his identity card, damaged by years of absence. In the sweltering August heat, the man, who has just lost his voice during the journey, arrives at the civil registry office of a small town two hours before closing time. There, the woman at the counter, after mistaking him for a foreigner and despite her blatant chauvinism, decides to help him on the condition that he brings her a new ID photo before closing time. The race against time begins for this stranger, a tourist in his own homeland. Faced with a world that no longer perceives him as present, this mute character will finally succeed, when all seems lost, in "rediscovering" his first name (and perhaps his voice?) by following the steps of a mysterious child who will take him to a timeless place where only the language of Homeric heroes will be able to give this shipwrecked man, lost in his storm, an island
