Our co-founder and executive director, Edima Otuokon is part of DOK.fest’s 2022 DOK.deutsch jury.
In addition to her work with Ladima, Edima is an Expert in Communications, Development, Policy. For over two decades, she has worked across Africa in the education sector, government policy consultation, conference programming and entertainment. Her focus on the African film industry stems from her previous roles as Workshop & Training Coordinator and Conference & Sidebar Program Manager at the Zanzibar International Film Festival and DISCOP, respectively. These roles exposed her to the imbalances faced by women in film, TV and media, which led to Edima co-founding the Ladima Foundation with Lara Utian-Preston.
