Filmmaker Suki Chan joins us on the podcast to talk about her breathtaking feature debut, CONSCIOUS. Suki shares how her background in art shaped the film, her use of impressionistic dramatisations, her approach to documentary storytelling, and what consciousness itself means to her work. “ It then made me realise that dementia wasn’t just gonna be one chapter. It was actually quite integral to understanding consciousness.” Listen now via the link in bio. @screenscots @britishfilminstitute @thedocsociety @sundanceorg @aconitedocs @teresavkgrimes @grajah @profanilseth @winfield.maureen #ConsciousFilm #SukiChan #DocumentaryFilm #CPHDOX #Podcast IndependentFilm Documentary Cinema Filmmaking

The words “artist, writer, and director” that my guest, @schansuki use to describe herself doesn’t come close to encompassing the brilliance of her feature doc debut, CONSCIOUS. Her background helps understand why the film is so moving. Listen/watch now on firstgopod.com or wherever you download podcasts.

To celebrate the World Premiere of CONSCIOUS at CPH:DOX, we collaborated with designer Scott Woolston to create these beautiful limited-edition bookmarks. A small printed piece to hold a place - in a book, and perhaps in memory. The purple ribbon references dementia awareness, which feels especially meaningful as two of the film’s contributors, Anil Seth and Wendy Mitchell, are also authors whose writing has helped deepen public conversations around consciousness and lived experiences of dementia. These signed and numbered bookmarks will be available for audiences attending our last screening at CPH:Dox festival, this Friday at 4.45pm, Dagmar Teatret. Please come and pick one up! Link to book tickets in bio. Thanks to our funders for their continued support of CONSCIOUS! 💕 @thedocsociety @britishfilminstitute @sundanceorg @screenscots and to the Sundance/Sandbox Fund. Printed by @Calverts_London Designed by @Scottwool Signed & numbered by @schansuki & her collaborators Co-produced with @aconitedocs @teresavkgrimes @grajah Contributors @profanilseth @ Wendymitchell @winfield.maureen Composer @dominik_g_scherrer

A great article in @hollywoodreporter about @theconsciousfilm ahead of the film’s world premiere at @cphdox . The piece features the film’s director, producer, and co-editor @schansuki discussing her directorial debut, alongside Michael Ellis, who co-edited the film and is known for his work on SUPERMAN starring Christopher Reeve and THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS.
