A short gothic horror film composed entirely of still images - Banshee recounts the tale of a teenage girl who is pursued by the notorious phantom of Irish folklore whilst tending to her dying mother.

Ambitious journalist Simon is drawn into a bitter rural feud involving one dead dog, two angry men, and three slain sheep. Against his editor's advice, he attempts mediation. However, brokering a peace will be no easy task.

The oral tradition of the ghost story is brilliantly deconstructed in this atmospheric short. A woman recounts a spectral encounter from her past and considers how it has shaped the rest of her life.
