- DirectorEster GouldEver since she was a young child, filmmaker Ester Gould has been amazed by the sheer self-confidence of her older sister Rowan, whose boundless creativity and natural beauty tended to make everyone around her jealous. She has the world at her feet, and the universe is her playground. But can such a well-developed sense of your own worth go too far? Self-assurance is greatly valued - until it spills over into an unhealthy overestimation of the self. In this incisive, personal visual essay, Gould explores our society's increasing obsession with the self. Thanks in part to social media, the pressure to have a fantastically successful life is ever greater; personal development seems to be the only thing that counts. The filmmaker follows a number of seemingly successful people going out, socializing and participating in the art world, as they reflect in conversations or interviews on the level of self-confidence they display and how this relates to their actual "self." Meanwhile, dreamy reenactments tell the story of the filmmaker's sister Rowan, illustrated by excerpts from correspondence between the sisters. How marvelously everything is going; how fantastically she's doing; she's taking yet another inspirational course; she gets so many invites that there's simply no time. Gould gradually starts to question her interesting sister's stories, which leads to a disconcerting denouement. - See more at: https://www.idfa.nl/industry/tags/project.aspx?id=0EB122D3-2D7D-474F-9AFE-25948DD336E8#sthash.wgBgnTGl.dpuf

- DirectorBram Van PaesschenStarsZhu Yang LieGuangzhou, China. A building erected in the communist style of the eighties: Tian Xiu. Since many years this is the Eldorado for African migrants who massively try their luck in this city. Electronics, clothes, furniture, building materials...: everything is for sale here. For a good price, although the quality sometimes leaves much to be desired. Because nothing gets produced in Africa, the men and women in Tian Xiu hope to get rich through trade with their home continent. 'I'm New Here' sketches a unique look behind the scenes of a new economic relationship between the African continent and the superpower China through some of the people that populate Tian Xiu. Some adapt with an unseen speed. They learn the language, build relationships, earn money and survive. Others have difficulty with the constant changing of the Chinese laws which make their lives more difficult. The deals they make fail because of miscommunication. Racism - whether under the surface or not - is omnipresent in this country that does not have any tradition with waves of migration from outside of their borders. But not everyone who wants to leave, can just do so. They often put all of their money on this Chinese bet and don't have the means anymore to return. Because of the political and economic situation in their homeland, a future over there is all the more hopeless. Tian Xiu is a silent but privileged witness of the demise of the umpteenth Eldorado for the Africans.
