Fiennes, Sophie  person Sophie Fiennes is an experimental documentary film maker from London who is interested in exploring and challenging the boundaries of film language. After a foundation course at Chelsea School of Art, she worked as a photographic assistant, afterwhich she spent four and a half years working with the filmmaker Peter Greenaway on Drowning by Numbers; The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover and Prospero's Books. She then produced choreographer Michael Clark's award-winning stage show Mmm and a BBC2 documentary about him, The Late Michael Clark. She won acclaim for her 1998 short about the Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier, creator of the movement Dogme 95, which went to Sundance, Edinburgh, Los Angeles and Tokyo festivals. Her experience in working in film, photography, theatre, dance, music and documentary has intensified her interest in how ideas communicate in any given medium, and has fuelled a desire to re-invent for herself a language of 'pure cinema'. Up until now, Sophie has concentrated her creative skills in film on documentary, but she intends to bring her experience to bear on developing fictional work, which captures the 'sensitivity to moments' that shine through all her documentary. She has been awarded a NESTA Fellowship. Her recent projects include feature documentary Hoover Street Revival and Because I Sing, a meta-film on a unique performance event devised by Artangel for Channel 4.
