Giants
Synopsis
A subversive retelling of Cervantes' Don Quixote - GIANTS is set against the backdrop of about living in an austerity-ravaged north-eastern town, a community stripped of its purpose and prospects the way ships were broken on it's very doorstep; its about false visions for the future for young men often groomed by radical ideology; and it's about the giants we imagine for ourselves.

A Six and Two Threes
Director: Andy Berriman
Year: 2015
Two lads meet when one goes looking for his real father. Throughout the course of the day, they realise they have more in common than they think.
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.
