I am a filmmaker and writer working with archival materials and methodologies drawn from community video. I co-founded and am a director of the London Community Video Archive. In 2026, I published 'The Story of British Video Activism' with the BFI.

I have produced award-winning long-form documentaries that have screened internationally, and I have made independent moving image works exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, and festivals. My films have been presented at institutions including the British Film Institute, ICA, Serpentine Gallery, Irish Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of America, Wyndham Art Gallery (Melbourne), and Tokyo Wonder Site. Previous solo exhibitions include Three Rivers (2025), Peer (2024), Grand Union, Devonshire Collective (both 2023); South London Gallery (2019); Focal Point (2018). Group exhibitions include Brent Biennial (2022); MK Gallery, Invisible Dust (both 2019).

Research interests and PhD supervision

The History and Practice of:

• Activist Filmmaking
• Queer Filmmaking
• Political Filmmaking
• Archives and Counter-Archives
• Community Art/Socially Engaged Art

Teaching

My background equips me to teach Non-Fiction Film and Film and Media Practice as Research at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and to supervise both audiovisual research projects and written dissertations. Methodologically, my work combines close textual analysis, historiography, and practice-based inquiry, engaging debates in film theory, queer temporality, and media archaeology.

I have extensive experience teaching Film and Media Practice as Research, Film Curation and Archiving, and Non-Fiction Film and Media at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I deliver large core lectures in Film History and Film Theory alongside specialist modules integrating digital cinematography, editing, and both found footage and essay filmmaking within a rigorous research framework.

I lead units in Film Curation and Archival Practices, where students develop critical and practical approaches to programming marginalised screen cultures.

Expertise and public engagement

2026 will see me curate archival screening programmes for major institutions, including the Whitechapel Gallery’s 125th anniversary summer exhibition and the William Morris Museum Autumn exhibition on Housing and the Home. I am currently developing an exhibition at Raven Row in 2027. My curatorial experience brings public-facing, interdisciplinary engagement directly into King’s teaching and research culture.
