GoShorts – Revolutions per Minute: Six Short Films about Resistance and Change
On Wednesday, November 25, 2026, the goEast Short Film Tour brings the program GoShorts – Revolutions per Minute to CinéMayence in Mainz. Six international short films from Central and Eastern Europe condense questions about power, protest, identity, and social change into a total of 78 minutes.
Cinema as a Space for Revolutionary Thoughts
The program was created as part of the goEast Festival's focus Revolution! and examines revolutionary action from different perspectives. The films tell stories of real political protest, artistic intervention, and individual attempts to correct unjust conditions. This creates a concentrated cinematic experience that does not rely on simple answers but sparks discussions.
Six Films, Six Perspectives
The program includes, among others, Fragments on Resistance by Levan Tskhovrebadze and Ani Kiladze, The Care Package by Vera Shysh, Slet 1988 by Marta Popivoda, Kismet by Žiga Virc, How to Listen to Fountains by Eva Sajanová, and The Exhibition by Dáša Raimanová and Béla Váradi.
The contributions range from protests against corruption and authoritarianism to political imprisonment and questions of origin, queer identity, and personal self-determination. The curated selection shows how precisely the short film can distill complex social themes into a few minutes.
Original Language with German and English Subtitles
The films will be shown in their respective original languages with German and English subtitles. This preserves the different linguistic and cultural voices of the program. CinéMayence provides the appropriate framework: concentrated open-air acoustics give way to the intensive cinema hall acoustics, while the proximity to the film and audience interaction shape the community feeling of the goEast tour.
An Evening for Short Film Fans and Festival Audiences
GoShorts is aimed at everyone who wants to discover European auteur cinema, political film art, and unusual narrative forms. The event combines festival atmosphere with a clearly curated selection, professional contextualization, and the special appeal of a tour program that brings current short films from European film culture to Mainz.
Conclusion
GoShorts – Revolutions per Minute promises an intense short film evening full of friction, stance, and surprising perspectives. Anyone who experiences cinema as a space for social resonance and wants to discover international film voices outside of the mainstream will find a multifaceted multi-part experience on the screen at CinéMayence on November 25, 2026.
