Festival of Slaps wins Best British Short at BIFA!

Big congratulations to Vision's Anna MacDonald and Paix Robinson for their win at BIFA! Anna shot and Paix deisgned for Festival of Slaps, an action packed short straight from the palms of a Nigerian mother, who on one fateful night serves her son a set of slaps so powerful that it will change his life forever. Festival of Slaps explores the 'misconceptions of Pan African parenting and the clash of modern life'.

Abdou Cissé, the writer and director, told Directors Notes 'I wanted to challenge the lack of representation of our biggest unsung heroes, creating an authentic space for my mum to be seen on the big screen. Like to truly see her, in all her glory and stripping away the misunderstood to make way for the truth. Where she, like many black women, don’t fit this Western archetype of a hero, but the truth is they are superheroes in the purest sense'.

Well done to the whole team behind this fantastic short, which you can watch here!
