Film still from "Twinless," directed by James Sweeney (USA, 2025).

Roman has recently lost his twin brother in an unexpected accident. Unable to confront the emptiness and pain, he starts attending a grief support group for people in similar situations, a space where loss takes on an almost identity-defining dimension. It is there that he meets Dennis, with whom he forms a strong and seemingly restorative bond. Before long, however, Roman discovers that Dennis harbors a troubling secret, and that his fascination with him extends far beyond emotional support.

Nominated for Best Feature, Best Lead Performance, and Best Screenplay at the Independent Spirit Awards, and winner of several festival prizes, including the Audience Award at Sundance, the film marks a sharp feature by James Sweeney, who directs, writes, and stars. Exploring grief, obsession, and the identities we construct to survive, it stands as one of the most compelling independent films of the year.

Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Catalan (March 13th) and Spanish (March 14th).

A film in the 2026 edition the Americana Film Festival.
