Priya Ahluwalia premieres her new short film ‘Beloved’, a multifaceted display of Black and Brown love stories, marking her first, as a director with the Ridley Scott Creative Group’s Black Dog Films.
"Film has become one of my favourite mediums to showcase stories from my community, as well as my collections. I love how film has the power to connect to its audiences, transport them and drive emotional engagement", says creative director, Priya Ahluwalia. "Beloved' is "an ode to the visualisation of love stories we love to watch in Bollywood and Nollywood cinema but rarely get to enjoy in Western media". The film ‘Beloved’, was developed and produced with Black Dog Films and premiered at the White City branch at Soho House with a day festival.

Ahluwalia’s approach to the project emphasised collaboration with local talent and businesses, ensuring an authentic representation of Jamaican culture. The local community’s involvement enriched the project, adding layers of authenticity and depth.
