In this wholly original, self-aware film, the true crime boom is put under the microscope as filmmaker Charlie Shackleton (The Afterlight, 2021) tells the story of his abandoned documentary about the infamous Zodiac Killer, describing scene-by-scene how he imagined it playing out. Over vacant Bay Area landscapes, stylised re-enactments and clips from recent true crime hits, his wry voiceover conjures the unrealised project in real time, offering an object lesson in creative frustration, and a hilarious critique of a genre at saturation point.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Charlie Shackleton, hosted by filmmaker Paul Duane.
