Synopsis

London, 1888. Amateur inventor, Tamworth, has just created the first moving image machine. A modified pinhole camera with wax cylinders attached, he uses it to document a group of women who have fallen into a conspiracy that the violent ‘Jack The Ripper’ is not a man, but a monster. But his account, though revolutionary, is itself distorted. The newspapers he reads are unregulated, the people he interviews confused by misinformation, and the events he captures cut off and mangled at the edges. This disturbing journey into his sepia-toned rabbit hole delivers a haunting warning on the perspectives we are fed... as well as what - and who - we can truly believe.

But everything changes when he kills a woman in self-defense - Mary, a deeply disturbed single mother who lured Thomas into her fractured world. She believed her children were still alive. They weren’t. The trauma of this moment shatters something within Thomas. As the investigation into Mary’s violent past unfolds, Thomas finds himself haunted by what he saw - and what he did. But instead of guilt, he feels a strange calm. A calm that grows darker with every passing day. Now, women across the city begin to vanish - each case linked by eerie silence and surgical precision. Detective Jack Latham suspects a pattern, but the killer leaves no trace. No emotion. No motive. Just method. Behind the charm and quiet eyes, Thomas hides a growing obsession: cleansing the world of those he deems unworthy. The city remains unaware that a predator walks among them - one born not from rage or revenge, but from the cold clarity of silence.

Synopsis

At the age of five, Beldina and her family moved from Kisumu, Kenya to a small town in rural Dumfriesshire, Scotland. As her sister Leah explains “One flight from Nairobi, and Bel became a black person, before she was just a person”. In the 1990s as the only black family in their community, Bel grew up being “othered and marginalised, and questioning her worth”. The effects of this racism had an immeasurable impact on Bel’s mental health and her desire to be seen and heard. In telling Bel’s story, this film exposes the experience of being Black and Scottish. Bel expressed her feelings and thoughts in her obsessive writings and songwriting. This film explores how, despite her incredible gifts, it was still almost impossible for a Black woman to break through. In the past, a diary might form the basis for a biography, however Bel left a phone full of self-shot films and heart-stopping performances. This compelling archive, plus photographs, diaries and notebooks, brings Bel to life - combined with interviews with those who knew Bel best to create an insightful picture of a darkly humoured, supremely talented, troubled but joyous Kenyan-Scottish black woman determined to be heard.
