Synopsis
Blue – A Black European Tale
All creatures in Greenland are green, except Bluekid. In this partly animated handicraft world, Mwita Mataro reflects on experiences of racism in Austria with children and experts.
The Magic Laboratory
Eli invents a collection of glowing jars filled with values that, when combined with animated story catalysts, create the perfect formula for success. His 10-year-old apprentice, Pauli, assists him in sorting the jars. When Pauli’s cousin Tino arrives, upset after being scolded for not helping his friend win a contest, he becomes the ideal candidate to test the formula.
