The Rumi Foundation BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT
Country Girl
Ellen Evans & Pearl Doughty-White for BFI Doc Society Open City Docs Film Festival
Lillith’s benefits have been cut, threatening the thing in her life that gives it shape and purpose: her relationship with a troubled yet beloved horse. Fleeing a difficult past and struggling with rural poverty, she must take matters into her own hands, defying expectations and rising above the judgement of others.
This was compelling storytelling, a portraiture of the rural underbelly of Britain. The director demonstrated well- honed craft skills and the judges were impressed with the film’s intimacy, pacing and style which comes from having a strong relationship with the contributor. It was a complex story that shone a light on solace, succour and salvation in an animal, juxtaposed against a faceless bureaucracy.

A brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing and violence perpetrated by the Myanmar military has driven more than 700,000 Rohingya from their homes, separating thousands of families from loved ones along the way.

Orly Fernandez manages and lives at Eusebio’s – a 24-hr funeral parlour in Manila. His relationships with clients and the journalists he meets daily colour the empathy and contempt he holds for drug war victims who, like him, are struggling to survive. With intimate access, this film gives us a deeper understanding of Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency and war-on-drugs.
