This list is assembled in no order of preference! I have selected these particular films because they continue to be meaningful both personally and professionally, and I want other people to see them too. The films show the power and potential of cinema to be politically and aesthetically transformative. Each film has shown me new ways of looking, thinking and being in the world. There are so many filmmakers I've had to leave out, they remain as ghostly hauntings in my personal film archive.
