A FILM BY IRA SACHS
WITH BEN WHISHAW & REBECCA HALL

Based on a richly cinematic rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz the film re-imagines their talk that day in a single 24-hour period in the life of Hujar, the brilliant and famously uncompromising artist who was one of the most important figures in downtown New York's legendary cultural scene of the 1970s and 1980s.

Zodiac Killer Project

Theatrical Starts December 2025

2025 - USA & UNITED KINGDOM - 92 MINUTES
A FILM BY CHALIE SHACKLETON

A film about a film that was never made, this boldly original essay begins as an exploration of one man's obsession with catching the Zodiac Killer but quickly unfolds into an anti-true crime investigation into our cultural obsession with the genre. Against the backdrop of sun-drenched landscapes, deserted hallways and empty homes, T/F alumni Charlie Shackleton guides us through the film his team would have made, projecting a speculative narrative into our imaginations with irreverent humour and razor sharp precision. Zodiac Killer Project subverts the visual shorthand of evocative b-roll, “back-tors” and slow zooms to dissect and playfully turn the now pervasive genre on its head. A distinct and singular vision, this meta rollercoaster ride of a film is a richly layered examination of documentary ethics, implicating both filmmaker and audience.
