Dad’s not here. He’s not here because he’s ill – or because he was never there. Grandpa is still around, but it’s as if he doesn’t really want to be. The absence of a loved one is often a situation that’s hard to navigate. The films in this set, however, attempt to make sense of it a little – from touching stories to more humorous ones. What does it mean to cope with a sense of absence?

During the screening “Absences. Short Films” you will see the following films:

• Dad’s Not Home
• No God no Father
• I Am Not Here Anymore
• Barbed Wire
• My Teenage Blackout
