An honour to be on the @leedsfilmfest Documentary Shorts jury alongside @karanjitpanesar The Black Cop screened here in 2021 so it was a joy to come back to the festival in this way. This year's competition had a great selection of curious, cinematic and challenging films that took us on a real journey. Congratulations to all of the filmmakers from this year's fest and a special shout out to @nicolasgourault and the entire team behind the winning film Their Eyes. We loved their distinctive approach in humanising the underpaid workers who make technological advances possible. #filmfestivals #cinema #documentary

Olympic fencer @ysaorathibus had aspirations to settle unfinished business at the games. That dream was cut short when she suffering a devastating injury one month before it began. “Filling the Void” follows her mental battle of coming back from injury and her fight to reclaim herself 🤺 Watch Unstoppable Stories of Strength Episode 1 by clicking the 🔗 in bio.
