This screening is not listed in the official program, so be sure not to miss it!

In The Bag is a mobile video short (duration: 6 minutes) that offers a fresh take on the heist genre — told entirely from the perspective of a duffel bag. With sharp editing and a compelling narrative, this film dives into the motives behind crime from an unexpectedly poignant viewpoint.
