Joanna
Byrne

Joanna Byrne is a UK-based artist filmmaker and writer who takes material, performative, collaborative and sustainable approaches to creating moving image. She works with analogue film in a tactile way - incorporating found footage, hand manipulation and physical traces of her body into her work, and performs with live expanded cinema. Her films have been screened internationally. Byrne has a socially-engaged practice and is interested in how experimental, participatory film practices can be therapeutic and transformational: connecting us to each other, to communities, shared histories and stories, the wider world and Planet Earth.
