NUA graduate’s work selected for three film festivals
A short documentary by NUA graduate Laura Wadha has been shortlisted for three film festivals. Laura’s film, Flight, follows the story of her two cousins’ journey from Syria to Europe. It will be shown at the Aesthetica in York and Norwich Film Festival in November and the London Short Film Festival in January. Laura, who graduated from BA Film and Moving Image Production in 2017, said: “I have been working on this short documentary for the past four years and the process has been both rewarding and difficult. When I began developing the film, my main goal was to make something that would show a different perspective of Syria. I wanted to generate empathy for my family and a place which has been so widely covered in the media.”
