WORLD AT STAKE
European Short Film Selection 2026

17m
Austria
Experimental
A golfer fails to strike, a soccer team plays against itself and a rally co-driver faces an identity crisis. They are surrounded by an audience unable to act.
Shot in sports video games, the film WORLD AT STAKE turns the ordering principles of victory and defeat upside down and negotiates social roles between individual sovereignty and collective passivity. In the face of catastrophe, a feeling of political powerlessness remains.
Nothing less than the world is at stake.
