Tanja Liedtke was a powerful, up and coming force in the world of dance before her untimely death at just 29 years old. Tragically, the cosmopoltian choreographer - born in Germany, schooled in Britian and living in Australia - was knocked down and killed just after being appointed the artistic director of the highly respected Sydney Dance Company.

Edinburgh International Film Festival and Sheffield Doc/Fest have announced a bold new collaboration that will allow select documentaries to receive double impact premieres.
Instead of documentary filmmakers having to choose one film festival to launch their film at, they will now be able to showcase their pieces at two festivals – giving the filmmakers greater access to industry and audiences, and their films a much bigger launchpad.
James Mullighan, director of the 65th Edinburgh International Film Festival, said of the unique collaboration:
“In these austere times, everyone in the creative industries needs to explore new collaborations, festivals included, and so I’m very pleased that we are announcing this major joint venture today. We’ve always been passionate about our commitment to British and International documentary, we’re delighted to welcome Sheffield to June, and to work with Sheffield to offer these filmmakers this double opportunity to showcase their work.
