Synopsis

Mia ‘Rabbit’ Hayes has just turned 40. She’s Jack and Molly’s beloved daughter, Davey and Grace’s baby sister, a single mother to 12 year-old Juliet, and she has nine days to live.
We meet Rabbit entering a hospice, still refusing to accept her fate, and backed by her family who are determined to save her against all odds. But as the days pass, Rabbit learns to focus on and embrace the present whilst those around her grieve, fight, love and lose. It’s Rabbit’s time to say goodbye and as she slips in and out of consciousness she relives her youth and the short time she got to spend with Johnny Faye, her brother’s best friend, the singer in his band and the love of her life. As she disappears in front of them, Rabbit’s friends and family are forced to reflect on their own lives whilst fighting one another for the right to care for Juliet. But faced with the loss of the only parent she’s ever known, Juliet has her own ideas.

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.
