Nova’s digital and creative skills project in collaboration with Hull: Yorkshire’s Maritime City is underway and off to a flyer. Bringing together some of the city’s best creative minds, the programme will see the work of 20 writers, film-makers, musicians and artists, all aged 16-25, culminate in a film promoting Hull’s Maritime City status. It’s […]

Of course, as a film-making company, great visuals and story-telling will always […]

This year alone we have produced both documentary and creative content for Freedom, Opera North, Bradford Literature Festival, Back to Ours, Absolutely Cultured, the Ferens Art Gallery, Heritage Learning, the British Council, Visit Hull and more.

We are extremely delighted to announce the arrival of our latest full-time team member, the excellent Lina Chaouki (cue round of applause). Lina was born in the Moroccan capital Rabat in 1994, her mum a Belgium-born architect and her dad a Moroccan carpenter. After school in Rabat, Lina studied for her film-making degree at the […]
We were lucky earlier this year to be awarded a large contract with the British Council in Freetown, Sierra Leone, delivering film-making workshops to help develop the country’s fledgling film industry. Nova has a long history of working in Sierra Leone, having worked in the country on 15 visits since 2006. Pivotal to our work […]
