Italy, 1866. Michele Di Gè, a young shepherd, leads a monotonous life, but dreams of the bandit-filled mountains on the horizon. When he helps his friend flee conscription, Michele sees an opportunity to leave home and prove himself as a man, joining a band of brutal outlaws.

Shot by an international crew of young independent filmmakers, this film transports you to Italy's own Wild West -- a world never seen before on screen.

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.
