Joanna Byrne is a UK-based artist-filmmaker who takes material, collaborative and sustainable approaches to making moving image. In her socially-engaged practice she uses filmmaking as a tool to connect with individuals and communities by sharing experiences and co-creating stories. Byrne works with analogue film in a tactile way using alternative photographic processes, creating work for cinema, gallery and non-traditional contexts. In 2025 she was commissioned by Yorkshire Contemporary to produce an audio-visual installation for Bradford UK City of Culture, which explored the rewilding of a local urban waste ground over the course of a year. Her work has been screened internationally at film festivals such as Flatpack (UK), CROSSROADS (US), 25FPS (Croatia) and Analogica (Italy).
