We are delighted to announce that CONSCIOUS has been invited for a special screening at
OxDocs: festival of new thought, science & cinema.
OxDocs is a new annual documentary film festival at the University of Oxford, showcasing the best new films from across the globe that meld scientific research with cinematic vision.
In her debut feature, Suki Chan crafts a sensorial and intimate journey into the human mind, weaving together the lived experiences of three remarkable women - Wendy Mitchell, Pegeen O'Sullivan and Maureen Winfield - with the work of renowned neuroscientist Anil Seth. Exploring consciousness, identity and memory, the film considers what happens to our sense of self as the brain changes, and finds beauty, growth and resilience in unexpected places.
If you can make it to Oxford this month, we would love to see you there!
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Suki Chan and Professor Anil Seth, one of the world's leading neuroscientists. We will explore Anil’s research on consciousness and how it contributed to this film. The conversation will be facilitated by Professor Richard White from the University of Oxford.
If you were unable to make it to Milan for the Fondazione Prada screening but would still like to watch the Q&A with Suki Chan, Professor Daniela Perani, Sergio Fant and Cornelia Mattiacci, you can watch it via the link below:

To celebrate CONSCIOUS being longlisted for the British Independent Film Awards in two categories: Best Debut Director | Feature Documentary and The Raindance Maverick Award, Suki's books are 50% off — a chance to go deeper into Suki's art practice.
Lucida laid the groundwork for Suki's ongoing investigation into consciousness and perception, featuring a foreword by pioneering neuroscientist Sir Colin Blakemore.
Thank you for your continued support. It means everything.
With love,
Conscious Productions Studio
