One of the activities that BIPOC EURODOC organised @sheffdocfest was an informal speed dating session between doc filmmakers/producers and key decision makers. Meet the Gatekeepers was great!. We were lucky enough to have participants from key festivals and organisations in attendance, including @sundanceorg@thedocsociety@idaorg@chickeneggpics@dokleipzig@povdocs@artefr@britishfilminstitute
.
The session provided folks the opportunity to network in a more intimate setting. We had approximately 42 people attend!.

Thanks a million to everyone who took part and to Sheffield Doc Fest for making a space for us!
Today we lost my beloved mother. She was an artist, a reader, a sensitive soul and a fiercely loyal family member and friend. She was the often quiet presence who supported me and my sister and my father so that we could achieve anything. More later, but for now, RIP, Mama. You are loved and missed.
