Block Description
In the corners of the mind, what we fear, regret, and struggle to release can take on a life of its own. Sleep becomes a place of danger, shelter conceals a monstrous bargain, and the past returns to demand a reckoning. The films in Corners of the Mind move through psychological horror, dark humor, and intimate emotional upheaval, exploring the fragile boundaries between safety and vulnerability, control and surrender. Whether confronting a terrifying presence or the lingering hurt of a broken bond, these characters face experiences that unsettle their trust in themselves and the world around them. Together, their stories ask what happens when the things we try to escape come closer—and what it takes to reclaim a sense of peace when even our own minds offer no easy refuge.
