Project Detail

The Glenarma Tapes

Synopsis

In spring 2020, five art students and two lecturers went missing in a remote forest in Ireland. What happened to them has remained unknown - until now.
Their last movements are pieced together from footage recovered from a police operation almost two years later, where it becomes clear that what started out as an innocent prank became a horrific fight for survival in the cold darkness of Glenarma Forest.
Presented as a true crime/found footage film, THE GLENARMA TAPES is the latest film to be produced through Northern Ireland Screen's New Talent Focus.
Official Selection FrightFest London 2023
