Appu Jasu‘s When Andromeda and Milky Way Embrace (featured image) and Pink Twins‘ Firewalk will be screened at the Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin taking place from November 24–30, 2025 in Paris, France.

In When Andromeda and Milky Way Embrace (2024) lone airplane flies over a dark landscape. Amid fields of untouched snow, a rover scanning both the ground and the stars is troubled by the history it has been fed. Isolated inside the plane, people struggle to interpret the rover’s increasingly complex messages while attempting to uncover both the past and the future.

The film will be screened on November 28th at 18:00 at the MEP Maison Européenne de la Photographie.

A pre-apocalyptic midnight walk takes you through a burning forest to witness a looming destruction. A fire in the forest either marks an impending doom, or serves as a metaphysical gateway between realities. With their new short film Firewalk (2025), chaos animators Pink Twins are on a deconstructive streak: as they guide you through gloomy visions of an all-consuming catastrophy, they also strip down the illusion of moving image itself, break the spell of immersion and reveal the sketchy building blocks of animated storytelling, staying true to their dark intuition.
 
The film will be screened on November 25th at 14:00 at the Institut du monde arabe.
