Keeley Moss, left-field investigator and musician, in Stranraer Ferry Port, the last place Inga Maria Hauser was safe She Sings of Murder and Love

Director: Virginia Heath

Year: 2027

She Sings of Murder and Love is an anti-true-crime documentary, told as a musical through a feminist lens, a story like no other. An anti-true-crime documentary, told as a musical, an unapologetically feminist, cinematic portrayal of Irish singer-song writer, Keeley Moss. Every song Keeley writes and performs celebrates the life of, and demands justice for, Inga Maria Hauser, a young German backpacker, sexually assaulted and murdered in Northern Ireland in 1988. As the facts of Inga Maria's case migrate from Keeley's meticulous campaigning blog into her songs, the Director ‘investigates the investigator’. Capturing Keeley's fever dream of Inga Maria’s intense week of adolescent freedom, before she became a 'murder victim', we discover the unexpected, profound gifts that Inga Maria has rewarded Keeley's dedication with.

3 puppet heads on sticks with a blurred background of scissors, paint palette Not Punch and Judy: The Chronicle and Story of an Experiment in Emergent Practice

Director: Julia Fry

Year:

Using ideas from Carl Jung - exploring and accepting the inner world, Carolyn Abbate - analysis of dissonance to find the narrative voice - and Hilde Lindemann Nelson - using narrative to repair damaged identity, I filmed my process of creating puppets and recorded some of the thoughts that arose as I made them. I utilised emergent practice in the filmmaking, which meant letting go of preconceived ideas to let narrative arise in the moment. I wanted my puppets to unite, rather than fight in the traditional Punch and Judy manner.
