Having finished directing one of the biggest films of the year, Suffragette (2015), which will open this year’s BFI London Film Festival, Sarah Gavron is coming on board as Film of the Month judge this October.

Sarah is a versatile filmmaker, who has directed films from documentary to fiction, all of which have garnered her awards. This Little Life (2003) won a BAFTA; Brick Lane (2007) won both the Silver Hitchcock Award at the Dinard British Film Festival and C.I.C.A.E Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival and her documentary Village At The End of The World (2012) was nominated for a Grierson Award at LFF.

It is a privilege to have someone of Sarah’s calibre joining the ranks of SP’s prestigious list of Film of the Month Judges – especially with the ongoing conversation around women in film this year and the Gender Equality Declaration that has just been adopted in Europe.

If you have a short of any genre that you would like her to see, head over to Film of the Month to submit before 14th October.
