On the hard journey to the illuminated city, a group of migrants make their way in their light suits. On their journey they will have to face the dangers that lurk in the dark and what's worse: themselves.

_Night Breakers_
Dir. Gabriel Campoy & Guillem Lafoz

"_Night Breakers_ is a near-perfect horror proof-of-concept short. After watching it for the first time at SXSW 2022, I told the S/W team that it was the best pure example of its type in ages—suspenseful and thrilling, of course, but also possessing a recognizable conceit, which meant easily understood mechanics along with clear-cut character motivations and stakes. At 17 minutes, it’s long for a proof, but there is little fat, and viewers should strap in for a scary and propulsive journey through the dark tunnels underneath the city of La Luz." - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi
