We’re currently working on a documentary, so what better way is there to get inspired than by attending one of the top documentary film festivals in the world?

Thanks to support from the TV and Film Charity, Maria was able to attend the festival and access screenings, panels, and networking events. It was great to support fellow producers and Creative Producer Initiative Alumni’s Jennifer Monks, Dana Bruce and Chiara Ventura, who all had films screening at the festival.

Highlights of the festival included listening to Werner Herzog discuss his career in documentary, and attending the screening of ‘For Sama’ a harrowing and personal account of one family’s resilience as they try to survive the siege on Aleppo in Syria.
