Director of hits such as Belle (2013) and A United Kingdom (2017), Amma Asante is one of the UK’s brightest filmmaking talents and has cemented her status as a leading light in the screen industries through the variety of roles that she has had. From her directorial debut in 2004, for which she won the BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer or Director, to her role as an Into Film Ambassador and our Careers Patron.
This adaptable resource, the second in our Black Filmmakers series, is for use with learners aged 14 -18 who are studying Film Studies and Moving Image Arts primarily, although there are aspects of the lesson plans which are suitable for history and media teaching.
The resource looks at the genres Amma Asante has worked within, particularly social realism and historical drama and makes comparisons between Asante and Ken Loach.
We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.
