Biography
Roz Mortimer is an artist and filmmaker who lives and works in London. Since 1995 she has been producing both short and longform experimental films which have been widely screened around the world at film festivals, galleries, cinemas, online and on television. She lectures at universities in the UK and USA and her work has been supported by Arts Council England, Wellcome Trust, Rockefeller Foundation, British Council, Film London, Animate, Eastern Arts and Channel 4 Television.
Her work is focused on expanded and experimental forms of documentary across a range of media: from film and video to photography, sound, installation and performance. Earlier works unpicked notions of Englishness and explored human-animal relations, whereas more recent films have focused on specific global locations such as the High Arctic, the Italian Lakes and the forests of Poland. These works create layered and thought provoking portraits which challenge our social and political understanding of the world today.
