Robert Petit

Filmmaker

Director, Underland

Robert is a London-based writer and director working to collide the disciplines of geography and filmmaking to tell stories that challenge narratives of identity, landscape, and belonging. A graduate in Directing from the National Film and Television School, he is also co-director of the creative studio Milkwood, as well as a long-time collaborator of the writer Robert Macfarlane (author of “Underland”). Together, they made the critically acclaimed experimental film Upstream, shot entirely from the air that follows a Scottish river to its source high up in the Cairngorm mountains.
