Invisible Woman 2.0 (short)

Dionne is a filmmaker and urbanist. She has several years experience in film and media production. Those duties included facilitating locations for blockbuster films like Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, A Kind Of Hush, and the Harry Potter series. She has created unique programmes and exhibitions that feature issues relating to inequalities and cities, on both sides of the Atlantic: From Accra, Paris, London to Kingston, Havana and New York. Dionne’s curating skills developed as festival director of the inaugural Camden Film Festival. She conceptualised the idea of showing a collection of films shot locally, and featured The Ladykillers (1955) and cult indie Withnail and I (1987). She then went on to curate the Solar [charged] Cinema that spanned a wide range of topics: Green and global south issues. As part of London's biggest green fair in Regent's Park. Her British Museum commissioned Changing the World (2012) series that intricately weaved together fine art, film and online display was well received by a wide audience. As a filmmaker she has been involved with a number of projects that include the Fighting Spirit (2007) and One People:The Celebration (2012). Her latest project where she is writer- producer, is the critically acclaimed feature length documentary The Hard Stop (2015). The film, directed by George Amponsah, is about the 2011 death of Mark Duggan at the hands of the police and how it affected the lives of his childhood friends and family.
Dionne was instrumental in researching and developing The Hard Stop as a hybrid film that combined observational material with constructed reality sequences and news archives. From early stages she perceived the subject crucial for independent cinema and pitched to independent film institutions Bertha Foundation, Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program and BFI for funding – they instantly saw the potential in our ideas for a multilayered narrative and the director’s observational footage. It had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, was an official selection to the London Film Festival and enjoyed its commercial release in local cinemas this summer 2016.
