Project Detail

Spring Fever

Synopsis

Sex education. Awkward memories, right? Boys and girls separated, a flustered teacher, the bare biological facts and a dose of shame.
In the Netherlands, they do things differently. Children from the age of four learn to talk about their bodies and sexuality in an open and frank manner.
This documentary observes a diverse group of pre-teens from Amsterdam, having a candid conversation about their changing bodies with an inspiring teacher. This isn’t just a sex ed class, this is an anti-shame class.

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.
