We're delighted to have received the award for 'Best Documentary' at High Peak Independent Film Festival on Sunday 23rd July 2017. We had tough competition from some other great feature docs, so are very honoured to have won this. Big thanks to Festival Director, Nicole Pott and everyone at High Peak Film Festival for this award and for your warmth and hospitality. It's great to have this recognition for stillbirth and baby loss.

But once you’ve achieved that part, what about the Herculean effort needed to get it out into the world? Still Loved is now available to watch pay per view on Vimeo worldwide. No matter where you are you can watch the film. It is available for streaming, or to buy as an educational resource for midwifery courses, baby loss support groups and others.
"The families shown in Still Loved have so much to teach us—not just about stillbirths but about bereavement and adversity more generally. No-one in the film talks about “moving on” or “getting over it”. Instead they are interested in how life and death can be integrated. They all discover in different ways how we can keep our loved one alive—not as a reason for endless mourning but rather as a source of inspiration, courage, and continuing love for the living." From The Lancet review by Alice Jolly. To watch Still Loved click HERE We're delighted that there was a special screening of Still Loved for MPs in the Houses of Parliament on the 13th March at 7pm.
Organised by Will Quince MP of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Baby Loss and Tony Perkins MP, who are working hard to raise awareness of babyloss and hope to help us get Still Loved out to as wide an audience as possible and on TV. Big thanks to Will and Toby for organising this event and let's hope it helps to break the silence around stillbirth and baby loss. Thank you very much to all the MPs that attended the screening.
