Spotlight Conversation with Jess Search | BFI London Film Festival 2021

Jess Search has been a champion for independent filmmakers her entire career. As the Chief Executive of Doc Society – formerly BRITDOC – she works with documentary makers around the world supporting them on their creative journey as they take on challenging subjects and tell ambitious stories.

This one-on-one conversation covered her career trajectory from starting out in TV documentaries at Catalyst TV, to co-founding Shooting People, becoming Commissioning Editor at Channel 4 and co-founding BRITDOC, and how the world of documentary film has adapted through her time in the field. It was moderated by journalist and film festival consultant, Wendy Mitchell.
