About the Work
"Ashima" follows Natacha Maboma, a young Cameroonian-American woman who, at the time of making the film, had been living and travelling abroad in Asia for 3 years. Whilst visiting Hong Kong for the first time, Natacha reflects on the experience of being a young woman - and specifically, a black woman - living away from home and travelling the world on her own. Her thoughts are interspersed with the lyrics from 3 songs that have had a special significance for her during her travels. "Ashima" was filmed across the Hong Kong islands before the COVID-19 pandemic and also before the pro-democracy protests. The film has so far won the award for 'Best International Director' at the 2020 Oregon Documentary Film Festival, and been shortlisted for 4 Berlin Commercial Awards and the Kinsale Shark Award for 'Best Cinematography'.
