Inside the work.
An entire programme on the timeline.
The 2019 programme included 128 short and feature-length films from 30 countries across 18 headings. Promotional editing had to connect many visual languages rather than rely on one film.
A festival for other ways of seeing.
IIEFF embraces new forms of cinematic expression and exhibition. These edits introduce a range of artistic approaches rather than sell a conventional narrative release.
2019: an international conversation.
More than 40 visiting directors, artists, curators, and academics joined the 2019 festival. The information film reflects that wider programme of screenings, talks, and performances.
Five films. Distinct programme identities.
Five promotional pieces are presented separately so each keeps its own rhythm and purpose. My contribution is editing; the participating filmmakers retain authorship of the featured work.
