Conspiracy of Silence
Synopsis
In a small town in Ireland, life centres on the quiet comings and goings of families that have lived there for generations, and the highest hope of every mother is that her son is accepted into the local seminary. But when a young priest mysteriously kills himself, everything—and everyone—changes.
Tipped off to suspicious circumstances surrounding the suicide, local reporter David Foley begins digging around and connects the priest’s death to other unexplained incidents. While Daniel fights in vain to clear his name, Foley uncovers a cold-blooded and secret world that some would kill to protect. Then an insider leaks the news of the suicide and its cover-up to The Irish Times, and in the blink of an eye the world is watching…and now, everyone must decide if the truth is worth dying for.

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.
