Professor Virginia Heath<\/a> has been selected for the prestigious International DOK.fest Munich Masters Pitch<\/a> on 6th May with her new documentary feature research project, \u2018She Sings of Murder and Love<\/em>\u2019. She is also presenting the project with Composer David McAulay in the competitive Composer\u2019s Pitch<\/a> on 7th May.<\/p>\n

The research project has been developed with funding from Screen Scotland; the Art, Design & Media Research Centre<\/a> (ADMRC) and Lab4Living<\/a> at Sheffield Hallam University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018She Sings of Murder and Love<\/em>\u2019 is a feminist true crime hybrid documentary about Keeley Moss, an Irish singer songwriter from Dublin. Keeley is, in her own words, obsessed with getting justice for the murder of a young German backpacker, Inga Maria Hauser, who was killed in Ballypatrick Forest in Northern Ireland in 1988, at the very height of \u2018The Troubles\u2019. Keeley has written the definitive Blog on this brutal, sexually motivated crime. But in a unique twist on the \u2018obsessive detective\u2019, she is also making the world’s first true crime LP album, using her music to keep Inga\u2019s unsolved cold case in the public eye, in the hope of bringing the alleged perpetrator to justice.<\/p>\n
