The student film HOW TO FALL OUT OF LOVE by our student Varvara Zarytska is screening in the short film competition. It will be an international premiere of the film.

Film synopsis: The protagonist makes a love story about her friend Agata's relationship, searching for the answer to the question: what is love? However, the relationship falls apart, but the film continues. The protagonist remains, accompanying Agata who feels desperate and overwhelmed by memories, through her daily life. Meeting with her ex brings no relief, and returning home ends in emotional disintegration. Agata reviews old film footage, discovering that her memories were hiding something. She gains control by taking up the camera to find the truth. If our memory is creation, then what is film?
