International Film Gala Presents Documentary Short Nomine: Land of Lost Toys | Directed by Nicholas Stachurski | USA

In the heart of Detroit, a city with a rich history and a tapestry of diverse communities, "Land of Lost Toys” follows the interconnected lives of its residents, brought together by a shared passion to combat the city’s vast stray dog epidemic. This mosaic of characters carry their own burdens and dreams, navigating the challenges of life in Detroit. With conflicted views on the breeding, spaying and neutering this group of characters discuss the saddening results of disposability culture, lack of municipal support and overall care for “humans’ best friend”. Following our lead character James, we get a unique look into the world of dog fostering and rescuing as he navigates his own internal hardships and the emotional support dogs bring to him.

International Film Gala Presents Narrative Short Nominee (UK): Whispers of Freedom | Directed by Brandon Ashplant | Guernsey

Described by Deadline Hollywood as the "tragic true story" of Chris Gueffroy, it follows one of the last daring attempts to escape across the infamous Berlin Wall.

In the twilight years of the Cold War young East German Chris Gueffroy becomes increasingly disillusioned with life in East Berlin. After telling his mother, Karin, that he has refused to complete mandatory military service, he convinces his friend, Christian Gaudian, that it's time to escape westward. Believing that the shoot-to-kill policy for anyone who crosses the Berlin Wall has been lifted by Secretary-General Erich Honecker - compounded by having heard regular radio host Herbert Köfer announce that Swedish PM Ingvar Carlsson is on a state visit - the pair see a window of opportunity. They go down in history as the last to attempt the fateful escape through the Berlin Wall's infamous death strip.
