In 2016 I completed Growing Up Married a documentary about forced marriage in Turkey. This transnational project allowed me to learn the process of making meaningful links between film theory and filmmaking practice. I decided to use this knowledge in supporting students who are encouraged to use audio-visual artefacts as a respond to theoretical questions. The film made in collaboration with my students had impact on policy in the UK. I’d like to share this empirical case-study by reflecting on this journey in crossing borders: between one nation to another; between academia and policymaking; and between film theory and practice.
