I developed the Many Voices initiative to provide a platform for films that represent different people and diverse perspectives, shining a light on the smaller stories that need to be told.
The launch project commissioned three very different filmmakers with a single question as their starting point: what does International Women's Day mean to you where you are in the world?
It was tough to narrow down the many submissions we received and, in the end, I had the pleasure of working closely with three filmmakers to tell unique and meaningful stories. One of these, a very personal animated story called 'Chin Up' by Joanne Salmon, was shortlisted in the Bafta Shorts category.
