Julia Parks (b. 1992) is an artist filmmaker working with 16mm film, archival footage, poetry and song. Her practice blends documentary and experimental forms, exploring historical narratives, ecological entanglements and rooted connections to place. Through a poetic and observational approach, she examines how humans, plants and animals inhabit shared environments. Her work often arises through close collaboration with people and local environments.

She is from Cumbria in the north of England and is currently completing an MA in Documentary Filmmaking with Doc Nomads.  Her films have screened internationally at festivals including Rotterdam International Film Festival, Open City Documentary Festival and Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival.
