This time, an interview with artist filmmaker Julia Parks.

Julia’s practice encompasses film, animation and photography, often using series of photographs and projected 16mm film. Through this medium, she explores the different relationships between landscape, place and people, often focusing on the west-coast of Cumbria.
​
Julia is currently living in Hawick as part of a 6-month residency with Alchemy Film & Arts as part of their The Teviot, the Flag and the Rich, Rich Soil programme.

In our chat we discuss Julia’s love for exploring the geography, industry and history of a place through the people who live there. We talk about her time at St. Martins College and hours spent in the darkroom. We also talk about her 2021 film ‘Seaweed’ and how she came to be interviewed about hand processing film in seaweed on the television programme ‘Countryfile’ - which - as the name suggests, is all about the British Countryside.
