Kim Longinotto[2] (née Sally Anne Longinotto-Landseer; born 8 February 1948, London) is a British documentary film maker,[3] well known for making films that highlight the plight of female victims of oppression or discrimination.

Her subjects have included female genital mutilation in Kenya (The Day I Will Never Forget),[5] women standing up to rapists in India (Pink Saris),[6] and the story of Salma,[7] an Indian Muslim woman who smuggled poetry out to the world while locked up by her family for decades.

[10] She discovered that her double-barreled "Landseer" surname was made-up so she dropped it and just kept Longinotto, adopting a new forename (Kim or Kimona).

She later followed friend and future filmmaker Nick Broomfield to the National Film and Television School.

[11] While studying, she made Pride of Place, a documentary about her boarding school that was shown at the London Film Festival.
