PLATES by Suman Hanif will be screened at the Busan Independent Film Festival on 21 November 2016 in the ‘Inter City’ section of the festival, which encouraged entries from fellow UNESCO Creative Cities.
The Documentary Film ‘Plates’ is an attempt to raise awareness for the growing concern of Food Wastage and Food Poverty in the UK. The Film contains a series of interviews and some explanatory animations about Food Wastage and Food Poverty. ‘Plates’ aims to advice and educate people on saving Food and understanding the need to help people with Food Poverty in the community.
David Wilson Director of Bradford UNESCO City of Film said; we are delighted that Suman’s film has been accepted in the Busan Independent Film Festival to represent Bradford in South Korea. Suman’s work first came to my attention when she approached us to have her film screened on the Big Screen in City Park. I was very impressed with the quality of the film, especially in the edit which is often very difficult to get right at this stage in ones film career.
