Zodiac Killer Project + Q&A

Name: Zodiac Killer Project + Q&A
Genre: Documentary
Released: 2025-12-04
Duration: 1 h 32 min

Winner of the Next Innovator Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival, this is the story of Charlie Shackleton as he tries — and fails — to make a true crime documentary. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Charlie Shackleton, hosted by filmmaker Daniel Cockburn. 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. You can also book standard screenings of Zodiac Killer Project from 2 - 4 December. <a href = "https://www.glasgowfilm.org/movie/zodiac-killer-project" style = "color:white">Click here to find out more.</a></style> "There is no film like it" — Sundance jury head Elijah Wood "A true-crime flop turned documentary masterpiece... a sharp, hilarious, self-aware, and acutely insightful work of both celebration and critique" - The Daily BeastDocumentaryPT1H32M152025-12-04
