Activity

I curated and presented a short strand of Scottish cinema for the 23rd TOFIFEST International Film Festival (28 June-4 July 2025). In collaboration with festival director Kafka Jaworska, I selected four recent directorial debuts which were screened to festival audiences: Aftersun (Charlotte Wells, 2022), Silent Roar (Johnny Barrington, 2023), Kill (Rodger Griffiths, 2023), and On Falling (Laura Carreira, 2024). On the last day of the festival, following the screening of On Falling, I delivered an in-person presentation and Q&A to the audience about my curatorial rationale. The presentation was moderated and translated by Andrzej Rossa.
