About Bronwen Parker-Rhodes

After graduating from Slade School of Fine Art in 2006 with a BA (1st Class Hons), Bronwen has directed two series of 3 Minute Wonders for Channel 4, made films for Vivienne Westwood, Pop singer Rihanna, Current TV, Spine TV, and exhibited her films and photos worldwide. She is currently based in London.

'My work explores video as a medium for portraiture. It lies between fine art and documentary film, providing intriguing glimpses into the private worlds that people create for themselves. I don’t feel the need to over explain things in my films, the way I work is more about quietly entering someone’s personal space and revealing their identity through the subtle rituals and routines of their everyday lives. Rather than viewing them objectively, I prefer to collude with my subjects, focusing the camera’s attention where they focus theirs. Through filming I discover a little of the world through someone else’s eyes and hopefully reveal that world to others.'

‘Rich with significant detail, yet seemingly strung together incidental, casual scenes, a Parker-Rhodes short is the film equivalent of a punchy work of literary journalism, or a poetic Carver vingnette.’
