One of the things we think makes Nova’s films stand out is the way our participants come across in interviews: emotionally open, confident, articulate and at ease. We watch so many films where the voices sound wooden or scripted, terrible hard-hat walk-and-talks around building sites, managing directors reading from scripts but pretending they’re being interviewed, […]
This weekend sees the start of an exciting new project which will have Nova work with Hull’s brightest young artists, writers and film-makers to explore the city’s identity.

Through 2020 and into 2021 we’ve been working with our close collaborators at Freetown Media Centre in Sierra Leone to deliver a series of British Council-backed film-making labs to support the country’s emerging film sector. The British Council contract called for an established UK/Sierra Leone partnership to lead the work and we were delighted to […]
