Clean shortlisted for 2023 IDA Documentary Awards

Bombito is thrilled to announce that ‘Clean’ has been shortlisted for the 2023 IDA Documentary Awards!


‘Clean’ has been shortlisted for Best Short Documentary.






Clean’s success so far


‘Clean’ has had an incredibly successful run so far, having been nominated for a BAFTA Scotland Award earlier this month.





The Documentary Short has also screened at a number of festivals, including Indie Street Film Festival, Galway Film Fleadh and Palm Springs International ShortFest. It also won the Scottish Short Film Award at the 16th edition of the Glasgow Short Film Festival.


‘Clean’ was also featured in the New York Times in the Op Docs Section, alongside an opinion piece penned by director Miranda Stern.


It will be screened at the BAFTA qualifying Aesthetica Film Festival next month.






The film


A short and personal female-centred documentary about addiction and long-term recovery from it.


Miranda weaves together observational and lyrical elements to take us into the challenging, deeply personal and relatively unknown world of recovery – along with the processes of care that follow in the years after a period of active addiction.

This is one couple’s journey together as they negotiate the world of recovery and how to plan for a future with so much uncertainty in it.
