Zodiac Killer Project + Director Q&A15
Having tried and failed to make a true crime documentary, filmmaker Charlie Shackleton tells the story of what might have been. In this wholly original, self-aware cinematic work, the true crime boom is put under the microscope as filmmaker Charlie Shackleton tells the story of his abandoned documentary about the infamous Zodiac Killer, describing beat-by-beat how he imagined it playing out. Over vacant Bay Area landscapes, stylised re-enactments and clips from recent true crime hits, his wry voiceover conjures the unrealised project in real time, offering an object lesson in creative frustration—and a hilarious critique of a genre at saturation point.
Screening followed by an in-person Q&A with the film’s director, Charlie Shackleton.
Reviews
‘A true-crime flop turned documentary masterpiece… a sharp, hilarious, self-aware, and acutely insightful work of both celebration and critique’

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
