Nisi Masa 2015

And of course the year would barely count if it didn't start with Nisi Masa!! Another year curated and run by Wim Wanaker, Jerome Nunes and Aleksandra Zakharchenko and supported by its committed tutors.

Every year I meet exciting new talent from all around Europe at the pitch weekend and I track at least one or two throughout the year and beyond (Una Gunjak, Vilja Autiokyro, Geoff Bellhouse, Daan Bunnik, Carla Pipo and many more). And this year is no different. I met two unique filmmakers there this year: Gorana Jovanovic and Kyla Bruce. Gorana had a project with singing Lenin statues and Kyla a girls' road trip. I will definitely stay in touch with them.

There was several really interesting filmmakers, Grant Gulczynski - an intriguing UK director finishing filmschool in Sarajevo under the mentorship of Béla Tarr!! And of course fellow producers Emily Morgan, Gavin Humphreys, Emily Lighthouse and from Paris Marie Sonne Jensen, Italy Franco Dipietro, from Croatia man of the moment Sinisa Juricic, Belgium Ben Bekke Fromdevallej..

BIFA Crocodile and Baby

BIFA has had a great idea in this period of Coronavirus lockdown - they have made all the BIFA nominated and winner shorts over the past 10 years available to view for FREE. How lovely to see BABY and CROCODILE up there and among such an exciting batch of films - great to be able to watch them all.

Films in LFF2019

This year my highlight of the festival was going to NFT1 to listen to an interview with Céline Sciamma, fabulously talented French writer director of Water Lilies, Tomboy, Girlhood (writer of the animated My Life as a Courgette) and in this year’s festival - her period piece Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

First Time Directors

I have been thinking about the stigma and the draw surrounding this title. All my feature projects - and I guess my shorts too in terms of “feature status” - are pretty much with first time directors. Sometimes I long to be at the stage where I can be working with more established directors – albeit them also being the first-timers I’m working with, only them (and me) having MADE that first feature!!! –. Get me out of perpetual development please…
