Directing
Zhang + Knight are a London based directing duo who create vivid films which explore themes of cultural identity through traditional folklore. They begun their career in music videos and adverts and are now making narrative work.

Their 2019 short film ‘Sweep Away Hungry Ghosts’ gained Official Selection at Slamdance and won them a place on the BFI Flare X BAFTA Mentorship Program.
