The Great Guns director spoke to LBB about being an advocate for Black women, the issues facing the industry, and how she approaches film with a fine art eye
Meena Ayittey is an award-winning film director and screenwriter whose work doesn’t shy away from tackling difficult subjects or asking uncomfortable questions.
She studied fine art at Central Saint Martins but soon became disillusioned with the categories her tutors wanted her to fit into. Today, she still finds inspiration in all things fine art, using its language to inform her visual style. Her latest project ‘Here We Are’, in partnership with Panasonic and Lumix, is a series of short films delving into the lives, desires, fears, and ambitions of 12 Ghanaian women.
