'Whispers From the Core' Earns Acclaim for Original Score and Experimental Excellence

Marcelle Abela's poignant experimental film Whispers From the Core has been honored with two prestigious awards at the 2025 IndieFest Film Awards: the Award of Merit Special Mention for Original Score and the Award of Recognition for Experimental Film. Based on true events, this haunting cinematic elegy explores survivors' untold stories under the charred veil of nuclear cataclysms, where generational silence echoes with the shrieks of forgotten ghosts. Directed, written, and produced by award-winning filmmaker Marcelle Abela, the 9-minute short features evocative performances, alongside a mesmerizing original score that amplifies its emotional depth. "These awards validate the raw vulnerability we poured into Whispers From the Core," said Abela. "It's a tribute to the resilient spirits scarred by history's deepest wounds, reminding us that whispers can roar when given voice." Whispers From the Core marks Abela's latest festival darling, following its world premiere at the Amadeus Cinema in Estonia and its upcoming American debut at the Culver City Film Festival. The film continues its acclaimed run, with a soundtrack album available via Avinu Films.
