Eleanor Mortimer is a documentary filmmaker from the UK whose work centers on re-imaginings of the world through unusual, hidden or overlooked perspectives. A directing graduate of the National Film & Television School (UK) and National Geographic Storytelling Fellow, her first film Territory screened at over fifty festivals including Sundance, winning the Best Short Documentary Award at Hot Docs, a Grierson nomination & Vimeo Staff Pick. She went on to make Seafarers (New York Times Op Docs), Bird (Channel 4 Random Acts), Bubble (Best Short Documentary, Festival dei Popoli, Aeon Video & Vdrome), and Luma (Dokufest Kosovo). Alongside her independent work Eleanor makes commissions for galleries, publishers, and TV and teaches filmmaking to community groups and in film schools.
