On The Edge | VAEFF 2025

The “On The Edge” program presents films that confront social, psychological, and emotional limits — exploring exhaustion, desire, confinement, and transformation. From the blur of urban life and artistic paralysis to surreal meditations on freedom, identity, and mortality, these works capture the fragile space between illusion and reality, where endurance becomes an act of survival.
