Project Detail

Adrift in Soho

Synopsis

Based on Colin Wilson's novel ‘Adrift in Soho’, published in 1961, following the book’s critique of society through the bohemian Soho of the 1950s with its trappings between the daytime poverty and the libertarian nightlife, and portraying a group of young people who meet in Soho.
Starting as a fictional drama about a documentary, the film ends up as a documentary of a fictional drama through the lens of a group of young filmmakers. It can be seen as an homage to the Free Cinema filmmakers of the 1950s, a movement that Colin Wilson lived through and very much identified with.

Galicia! Galicia!

Director: Anna Maguire, Kyle Greenberg

Year: 2026

What if you went on a holiday and the apocalypse happened? GALICIA! is a found-footage, hybrid-documentary following a couple through home video footage as they visit their friends at a winery in rural Spain and inadvertently capture the end of days. We live in a time where the sense of our impending mutually assured destruction is more real than it’s ever been. GALICIA! Takes the form of a holiday video - a document of a couple before - and after the great cataclysm. The film starts as something that feels unedited - an accidental video diary of an ordinary couple that feels somewhat ghostly as much as it is also pedestrian. As the film evolves and degrades, we are led to question the fragility of humanity, as well as its power to endure.
