Sophie Fiennes (born 12 February 1967) is an English filmmaker best known for her films '' Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami'' (2017) and '' Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow'' (2010), as well as for her collaborations with philosopher Slavoj Žižek: '' The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema'' (2006), and '' The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology'' (2013).
