Synopsis

Lydia Brass is a famous stage actress who has played the lead in her father's plays for more than half her life. He is the World-renowned playwright, Sir Rowland Brass. Now in her early thirties, Lydia is determined not to work for her father any longer for reasons she initially won’t disclose. She also no longer wants to act, but when she develops a relationship with an ambitious American playwright living in London, and ultimately marries him, he gradually coerces her back on stage. It is by returning to the stage that she finds herself caught in a nasty and manipulative game where she doesn’t know whether to believe: her prestigious father, her husband, a writer who is a plain old nobody, or no one altogether.
The Silver Goat is the first film created for the iPad and the 1st to be released as an app in the UK, Europe and Latin America.

When Howard Brookner lost his life to AIDS in 1989, the 35-year-old director had completed two feature documentaries and was in post-production on his narrative debut, 'Bloodhounds of Broadway'. Twenty-five years later, his nephew, Aaron, sets out on a quest to find the lost negative of 'Burroughs: The Movie', his uncle's critically-acclaimed portrait of legendary author William S. Burroughs. When Aaron uncovers Howard's extensive archive in Burroughs’ bunker, it not only revives the film for a new generation, but also opens a vibrant window on New York City’s creative culture from the 1970s and ‘80s, and inspires a wide-ranging exploration of his beloved uncle's legacy.

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.
