Housejackers

Synopsis

Raymond’s life is on pause - stuck in a job he hates and living with a bunch of middle class students he has nothing in common with. He’s a man adrift, until a chance encounter on a night out reunites him with his charismatic but volatile former foster brother Jerdy.
Charming his housemates, Jerdy worms his way back into Raymond’s life, feeding his dissatisfaction with his current circumstances and pulling him back to a world he was trying to escape. Jerdy brings fun, excitement and much missed brotherly love, but when he allows himself to be dragged into thuggery and criminality Raymond has to grapple with breaking the bonds of loyalty from his past. But Jerdy isn’t going to make it easy for him. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Belfast, this comedy drama with a uniquely Northern Irish perspective delivers exceptional performances, unstoppable swagger and a laugh-out-loud exploration of the relationships and experiences that make us who we are.

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.
