The Auteur Theory

At a relentlessly self-important student film festival, the directors of the (mostly terrible) short films are being killed off one by one – and a budding British documentary filmmaker, George Sand, decides to make a film about the search for the killer.

The surviving filmmakers are the main suspects, and so George begins to review their films, searching for bloody footprints amidst the celluloid. As he delves into the (ongoing) murders, he finds himself particularly drawn to one of the filmmakers, Rosemary Olsen – but when all the evidence starts pointing to Rosemary, George has to decide how far he’s willing to go for his documentary.
