Director, Into the Dark
Fiona Otway is a filmmaker crafting nuanced, emotionally resonant stories about our potential to shape the world we live in. A big believer in the power of compassion and radical inclusivity, her work fundamentally seeks to understand how we can spark transformational change in ourselves and others. At the heart of this exploration is deep curiosity. How are assumptions formed, spread, hardened, erased, transmuted, unraveled? How do we learn to ask more courageous, humble, dynamic, catalytic questions? As an editor for over 25 years, Fiona Otway’s work has received numerous awards, including the ‘Best Editing’ award and the ‘Grand Jury Prize’ from Sundance Film Festival, a DuPont Award, a Grierson Award, an International Federation of Film Critics award, nominations for Cinema Eye Honors, Spirit Awards, Gotham Awards, and three Academy Award nominations.
