Julia did a good job on this video, with some really nicely shot interviews and archive research. She was very good at taking on board feedback and incorporating the changes we ahd requested to get us to a nice final video.

Mapping the Universe - University College London
Commissioned by University College London, this short video shows how the European collaboration group DEDALE is helping to map the Universe. Filming with this great group of astrophysics and mathematicians changed the way I perceived Astronomy, and made me learn a lot about how to Universe expands. Definitely worth a watch, even if you’re not an expert (just like me!)

Magic Depictor
Lydie Greco is a talented illustrator and graphic designer who created the amazing Magic Depictor. A different kind of photo booth, as instead of having their photograph taken, people get a unique hand-drawn portrait. This video portrays this fun and personal experience and gives voice to Lydie and her coloured way of seeing the world through her drawings.

The legendary female warrior that history forgot
In the early 17th century, escaped slaves in Brazil formed the legendary Quilombo dos Palmares. This community was led in its fight against slavery by the famous Zumbi dos Palmares. However, although his story is celebrated, very little is known about his wife Dandara, a fierce warrior and leader. Her origins are shrouded in mystery and lore. What does Dandara's story tell us about the history of slavery and the modern Quilombo communities that still exist in Brazil today?

The Indigenous past and present of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro holds a special place in Brazil’s history, but many of its residents are unaware of the city’s Indigenous heritage — from the names of iconic places like Ipanema and Maracanã, to the Indigenous slave labor that built some of its most recognizable structures. Nearly 7,000 Indigenous people live in Rio, the fourth-biggest population among Brazilian cities; a unique interactive map by Mongabay shows how they’re spread across the city, as well as their living conditions and ethnic groups. Despite their presence, and Rio’s famed diversity and laidback culture, Indigenous people in the city continue to face prejudice and a “silencing” of their traditions and culture that they attribute to centuries of efforts to erase them and make them invisible. But Indigenous people are pushing back, agitating to get their rights on the political agenda, and working through academia to unearth the Indigenous history of the city that has long been hidden.
