The Letter
Synopsis
The story is based on true events with fictionalised characters. "Deaf people like the ones in ‘The Letter’ were really at the forefront of the Nazi euthanasia machine, Nazis were so ruthlessly efficient at exterminating deaf and disabled people that a lot of stories were lost.” Justin Edgar
THE LETTER was produced by Justin Edgar, who is hard of hearing, and directed by Sam Dore, with an entire cast and crew of deaf artists.

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.
