Trailblazing American writer/director Nia DaCosta’s diverse body of work spans independent film, franchise remakes and major studio comic adaptations. The Marvels was the highest-grossing film ever directed by a Black female filmmaker, the remake of Candyman was box office smash and upcoming sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the latest instalment of the cult independent horror series. EIFF is thrilled to welcome Nia to Edinburgh to discuss her fascinating career.
