She has been a film editor for The F-Word, popular British feminist blog, since 2011, combining her love for moving pictures with promoting of independent films and filmmakers, feminist and beyond.
Ania’s contribution to Calling the Shots was her doctoral research looking at contemporary British women documentary filmmakers in crossover roles between film and TV.
Ania taught media studies at Brunel University London in 2019 and is now Digital Coordinator for the Screening Rights film festival, Birmingham’s International Festival of Social Justice Film.
