Words We Don’t Say | Official Selection @ Nosakhari Film Festival 2023
Words We Don’t Say is about the complexities between father and daughter relationship.
The nuances. The lack of vulnerability within a complex dynamic and how it impacts them both. It’s about the words we don’t say but wish to.
Photographer and director Ella Ezeike is a captivating storyteller whose work delves into the intricate threads of family trauma, sisterhood, and personal growth. Relocating from Los Angeles to London in 2016 to pursue studies in fashion and media pushed Ezeike to craft narratives that are both bold and whimsical. Fearlessly navigating the challenges of youth and existence, her perspective uniquely captures these experiences through the Black female lens.
