Rozkvet

Synopsis

Occupied Czechoslovakia, 1943: following her husband's death at the hands of Nazi forces, Romani woman Erika, isolates herself and her son deep in the forest. Events soon spiral out of control, when she agrees to help the local resistance on a mission gone wrong and Erika reluctantly takes up arms in the hope of saving her family, and perhaps her very people.
Hunting her down are local SS leader, Obersturmfuhrer Engel, a relentless man seeking to make sense of his own tragic loss, and Italian diplomat, Silvano Reale, attempting to stay loyal to his German allies, while remaining a decent man.

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.
