Second-year BA (Hons) Filmmaking students recently had their Special Project documentaries screened at The Gate Picturehouse in Notting Hill Gate. Two cuts of each of seven different BA shorts were screened for LFA students and staff, as the culmination of months of hard work on their documentary projects.
The screening session was book-ended by discussions with documentary filmmaker Ahmed Peerbux, who produced the BAFTA-winning documentary Grenfell: Uncovered and the upcoming BBC special Shabaz Asks: Are Billionaires Bad? Ahmed also directed This is Soho, a reflective look at central London and how it’s shifted throughout the years, which is narrated by Stephen Fry.
At the screening, Ahmed imparted some wisdom from his career to date, and co-chaired a panel discussion the BA documentary filmmakers, alongside LFA co-founder and joint principal Daisy Gili.
