A SILENCE (2026)

A SILENCE

A Silence is a short film set on the South Acton estates, following three teenagers whose friendship is tested after they discover a dead body in a disused flat. As fear and blame surface, silence becomes a tool for survival. Blending social realism with psychological symbolism, the film explores youth, trauma, and the cost of staying quiet.

This film is a collaborative effort with the Bollo Brook Youth Centre, a council-run service in South Acton that provides programmes of group and individual activities in partnership with voluntary and statutory section organisations.

Young people here are encouraged to plan their own activities, which include but are not limited to music production, filmmaking, arts and crafts, cooking, and gardening.

For A Silence, several of the youth center’s members participated both in front of and behind the camera, and also provided cultural consultation and consensus to ensure the film authentically reflects the community.
