The first footage from Heartless was shown at the Sitges Film Festival where Jim Sturgess & Director Philip Ridley appeared to promote their new film. Here is a behind the scenes look at the event.

Heartless -- Heartless is the story of two people who have had serious tragedies take place in their lives and how they deal with the emotions that arise. It is told in first person narrative style with no words spoken on screen, instead propelled forward by an all-original soundtrack that acts as a second narrator. It documents our main character's life after a severe tragedy and walks us through his struggles to keep a semblance of reality while trying desperately to recall more pleasant memories from happier times. The narrative detours to tell the story of a young woman who was abused and is in a similar situation, feeling heartless, and how she chooses to cope with that. The directing, cinematography and editing style both mirror the frenetic emotional state of the main characters.
