Organisers of the Prizren festival, which is fast gaining a worldwide reputation, said they were thrilled by the news.Harvey and Murphy will travel to Kosovo for a special screening of the films at DokuFest and will hold a Q&A session about their collaboration.

Each film is a combination of still and moving imagery, made in the manner of classic photographic reportage recording real and spontaneous situations to document England and the English.

Murphy, an award winning photographer, has spent over two decades uniquely documenting conflict through his lens.His work has brought him to Rwanda, Eritrea, Kosovo, Iran and Iraq.
