Jamie Allan is an artist, filmmaker and curator with a background in documentary filmmaking and community cinema. His recent work revolves around the ecological reverberations of human histories, with a specific focus on the relations between animals and human border zones.
He is interested in the collaborative processes of documentary filmmaking, and how this could inform alternative modes of distribution and exhibition. He has a Masters in Documentary Film Directing from the DocNomads itinerant film school, and is currently a researcher with the Collective Practices Post-Master at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.
Since 2017 Jamie has been part of Cinecaravan – a mobile cinema project which hosts filmmaking workshops and screens short documentaries in geographically and socially remote communities.
