Pulling Teeth
Synopsis
Co-created with non-actors and their lived experiences, the film follows Damian, a resourceful hustler, who grinds out a hand-to-mouth existence selling stolen e-bike batteries, and breaking into construction sites stealing metal to sell for scrap. This daily struggle has fractured his relationships, especially with an ex-partner and young daughter who is growing ever more distant. When a tenuous involvement with an older woman ends, Damian is forced to confront his growing isolation on the streets of a city he no longer recognises.

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.
