Keira Knightley experiences an unusual Christmas in “Silent Night”.

Keira Knightley in her latest film "Silent Night" plays a woman gathering the family for a traditional Christmas dinner, Zooming with Grandma and celebrating like it's the last time -- except it very much is the last time, as a deadly gas is slowly moving across the countryside that will eventually make all of humanity extinct. That's the premise of Camille Griffin's black comedy and her directorial debut, which premiered at TIFF and was acquired by RLJE Films and AMC+.

Writer-director Camille Griffin’s debut feature film “Silent Night” effectively blends two seemingly disparate genres — holiday films and impending apocalyptic cinema. Both high-pressure situations that get you thinking about what really matters, Griffin’s film navigates difficult family and friend dynamics with mordant humor as they face the end of the world together on Christmas Eve.
