James Edmonds is a filmmaker and artist from the UK, currently living in Berlin. His work is driven by personal observations of his immediate surroundings and a poetic approach to the visual that is both formalistic and lyrical. The varying qualities of light, our subjective experience of time, space and memory are often thematically present in the visual resonance of his films and paintings.
His films have been shown at various international festivals including Toronto International Film Festival, New York Film Festival, Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Museum of the Moving Image New York, Open City London, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Curtas Vila do Conde, FICUNAM Mexico City, and EXiS Seoul. Solo presentations have taken place at (S8) A Coruña, Experimental Filmtage Frankfurt, Cinéma Parenthèse Brussels, Nocturnal Reflections Milan and Ausland Berlin.
He also contributes texts, teaches workshops, and has organised various screenings and events including the film series Light Movement (2015-2018) and the exhibition series Grass Harp with Petra Graf (2016-present).
