Official Selection Galway Film Fleadh 2025 - World premiere

A man in formal dark clothing and a hat standing beside a black vehicle at night, raising his hand toward the camera on a busy city street lined with lit shop signs. 6Till6

Director: Burnermunde

Year: 2024

Two guys on a journey to keep the cameras rolling for 24 hours in East London with no plans of what, or who, they will capture. What ensues is a film that is immediately caught in the tension of contradictions, the cities dizzying highs and bottomless lows immediately visible under the same microscope slide. Displaying London’s unique brand of unbridled chaos, alongside the soul-crushing melancholy of the city, in a haunting, deeply affecting, and hilarious way.
