Emily Harris

Writer, Director and Curator, Emily Harris’ second feature was an evocative retelling of Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic CARMILLA released by Altitude starring Jessica Raine, following on from Johnny Flynn starring LOVE IS THICKER THAN WATER. She also directed the documentary YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION to accompany the V&A exhibition. Prior work includes short films and experimental screen projects such as BORGES AND I and she has edited and produced documentaries. Emily works boundlessly across genre and form, from comedy to horror to grounded sci-fi exploring themes of invisible barriers, metaphysical obstructions and the internal narratives that drive our behaviour and relationships. Her award-winning work has enjoyed international cinema distribution and been shown in major museums worldwide including the V&A, Visionary Art in Baltimore, The Industrial Palace in Prague and The Art Brut Museum in Lausanne. She has a Fine Art degree from the Glasgow School of Art, Post-grad Filmmaking at The London Film School, Script Development Degree from NFTS and a Masters in Producing from Royal Holloway. Emily is Berlinale Talent Alumna, full voting member of BAFTA and Curator of Film at the V&A Museum. Accolades include Jury Prize at Raindance (Winner), Best Lo-Budget Feature at London International Film Festival (Winner), Best Production Design at Munich Film Festival (Winner), Special Award at Split Film Festival (Winner), and nominations for Jury Award at Tribeca, Gold Q-Hugo Award at Chicago Film Festival and the Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature. Emily is currently developing both feature and doc projects for the big and small screen.
