The Moment

Synopsis

An autistic child has a meltdown... a "moment" as it is generally called... This film is a macro lens in which this moment freezes to capture the isolation, the plethora of emotions and the detachment that helps life go on for millions in these conditions.

Dust in the Wind Dust in the Wind

Director: Sonali Bhattacharya

Year: 2011

A short film based on adaptations of three stories by O Henry. Adapted to take place in modern day London, it explores the theme of the characters' alienation (from reality and one another), which is so relevant to our contemporary, multicultural urban reality.

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.
