Extraordinary Teens: My Gay Life

We’re delighted to announce that Extraordinary Teens: My Gay Life has been nominated for a Children’s BAFTA and the Japan Prize. Our incredible longitudinal documentary about Billy's life was shot over 6 years. Congratulations to the Production Team who worked on this project.

We're also delighted that ‘Cat in the Wall’, our co-production with Activist 38 in Bulgaria, has won an ARTE International Relations Award at Cinelink, Sarajevo, and a Coco Post Pitch award at Connecting Cottbus. It’s been chosen among the 10 works-in-progress at the upcoming 72nd Edinburgh International Film Festival.

A cat found on the stairs of a block of flats in London acts as a catalyst for unfolding conflict between migrants from Bulgaria and their British working class neighbours.

The film was initially supported by Creative Europe’s Media Programme for development.
