Michelle Joins The Family

Liz Farahadi and Michelle Collins at SohoLIFF couch 2024

We are thrilled to announce a new addition to the SohoLIFF judging panel.

Michelle Collins joins our group of rather special SohoLIFF judges and this year is tasked with deciding which of the 54 amazing film submissions will get a coveted SohoLIFF award in January 2025.

Many will know Michelle as a well-loved actress and familiar face of UK TV, having traversed the streets of Albert Square in her earlier (and more recent) actress years as EastEnders soap screen siren Cindy Beale.  More recently she’s producing for her own production company, while continuing to star in many roles too.

Last year she starred in The Long Walk, winner of our SohoLIFF Audience Choice Award, voted for by the public, as well as joining our esteemed festival pitching panel with her producer’s hat on to share some valuable experience and insights with our filmmakers.

This January we’ll see her again, but for now join Liz and the SohoLIFF team in officially welcoming Michelle to the family for SohoLIFF 2025!

Spotlight Interview: Maxine Booth

Meet Maxine Booth, our newly acquired official press partner for SohoLIFF. Every red carpet should be graced with her presence and poise… and now every SohoLIFF you will see her interviewing everyone involved in the production.  She digs deep and parties hard to get the best out of everyone she talks to.

She captures the essence and the vibes while reporting the stories behind the stories, and we’re thrilled to be stepping out with the glamourous lady, but as she sits down with festival founder Liz, we’re thrown a few surprises of our own as we discover the other sides of Ms Maxine.  Take a look … at the gal behind the glam.

A cinematic jewel. A vibrant cultural event that positions London as a significant player in the global independent film scene. A beacon of hope and resurgence for the independent film sector.
