For the next few days, I'll be introducing the brilliant, radical, and creative filmmakers who have been selected for the #SAFAR 2020 development workshop, a 2-day intensive, collaborative programme to develop films by Arab filmmakers or about the Arab World.

First up, it's my pleasure to introduce Riffy Ahmed @Riffypowerzz. Riffy is an award-winning writer/director whose work straddles the art and film worlds. She has exhibited with The Times, BFI Flare, ICA, Tribeca Arts Centre, Nour Arts Festival, and the Saatchi Gallery.

Riffy trained at Central Saint Martins and recently graduated from the National Film and Television School with a full scholarship from Channel 4.
