2023 has been one of the most professionally exhilarating years of my life but also one of the hardest. I have been affected deeply by losing Tom Butchart suddenly in June, the childhood friend “the keeper of sacred knowledge and provider of affordable dreams” that I made Sound It Out (my 2011 film) about. We also lost my mother-in-law Pat and documentary titan Jess Search. The impact of these deaths have intertwined with hugely positive experiences that I could never have predicted, leaving me a little discombobulated, determined to live with boldness, albeit with a twinge of melancholy.
In February I received the Chicken & Egg Award, which is given to eight established filmmakers from marginalised genders a year. The recipients form a cohort, are given mentorship, and an unrestricted prize. I spent some of my award going out to New Mexico to experiment with the arts lab at the University of New Mexico...

The continuing craze for Scandinavian crime fiction should benefit Dylan Howitt’s documentary about Iceland’s most infamous murder case. Chronicling a convoluted tale, the truth of which may never be known for certain, Out of Thin Air is a stylishly executed but narratively muddled effort that confounds as much as it engrosses. Recently given its world premiere at Toronto’s Hot Docs, the film should find especially receptive audiences on cable and streaming services.
The film concerns the 1974 disappearances of two unrelated men whose bodies were never found. The first, an 18-year-old man, vanished on a wintry night after attending a...
