Synopsis
Following the tragic loss of his father, Marcus Miller grapples with identity loss and strives to maintain his former social and academic standing. As more powers emerge, Marcus faces a critical decision: succumb to darkness or honour his father's legacy by embracing heroism.
This fantastical narrative intertwines nostalgia, surrealism, teenage turmoil, and nods to comic book lore.

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.
