For Love
Director: Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor
Year: 2021
In this beautiful drama, a couple battle for a future where they can find a home and freedom that is not determined by where they’re from. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2021 - Shorts - Your UK Or Mine?
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.

Director: Leto Meade, Jonathan Rockefeller
Year: 2026
