Revisiting this short film I made about Syrian refugee women in Lebanon, I am blown away by the tapestries they were creating, and left wondering how life is treating them now. vimeo.com/155862663

On Tuesday, Lorna Collins joined us as a guest presenter during an experimental creative class. Her story, Back on the Horse, and presentation offered many valuable insights, shedding light on mental health issues, abuse, creativity, and how these issues are represented in film.

Kobun Chino: "The more you sense the rareness and value of your own life, the more you realize that how you use it, how you manifest it, is all your responsibility. We face such a big task, so naturally we sit down for a while."

I had a great time at Nottingham Trent University yesterday, talking about storytelling, controversies in voyeuristic film, freedom in creativity, recovery, resilience. The students were enthusiastic—we made some incredible stories together. Very special. Thank you all. @angelarobson.bsky.social

Lovely post from one of my students. The quote touched me deeply. Hope it uplifts you too.
Yesterday in class, my colleague, @calvinmanika.bsky.social, shared his experience of how he became an international journalist, now reporting for @aljazeera.com and The Africa Report. Big thanks to him for this inspiring story and the words quoted at the end—something I needed to be reminded of :)

Having grew up in one of Zimbabwe’s oldest ghettos, one thing set me apart from others. I had a dream.

Today I had an opportunity to share my story with my class - ‘Telling Real Stories Around the World.’ Thanks to @angelarobson.bsky.social for the opportunity.

I learn, unlearn and relearn
