Welcome to World Cinema with Anna—a cozy space for sharing my love of international films. By day, I work as an organised EA/PA, and by night, I immerse myself in global storytelling; and finding cinematic gems and masterpieces. I also enjoy brunch in London with the besties, travelling, reading, listening to music. And, if I can squeeze it in, going to the theatre - a great musical or play, especially in Regent's Park. I am a passionate film enthusiast dedicated to exploring the best international cinema has to offer. Join me on a cinematic journey across the globe!
