THE FEMALE VOICE
2016
Sound Director & Editor
Dos Santos, who produced the film alongside fellow students Minji Kim and Jeanette Lee, said: “It’s surreal to think that people at BAFTA have even seen my film, let alone shortlisted it. The film is about empowering women to make their voices heard, and as a young female filmmaker, I’m ecstatic to see that people think our message is worth listening to. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity and for the incredible people who made this film a reality. The plan is to follow the momentum we’ve picked up, and see where else we can go with it.”
The film was also highly praised in the factual awards category. The RTS commented:
"The Female Voice...was a confident and well-constructed documentary that took a fresh look at this subject at many different levels - the practical, the physiological and the political. It was a fascinating thesis, with the elegant and persuasive use of well-chosen archive material and some first-rate interviews with authoritative contributors. These ingredients were skilfully woven together to produce something interesting and informative, with a solid narrative drive and a great sense of humour throughout."
