Lucy Parker is an artist filmmaker, educator and homelessness advise worker living in London. Her film work explores spectrums of social and political practices that enable, or form barriers to, community organising.  She is motivated by a desire to live in ways free from dominance and extraction; this motivation informs her approach to making, seeking collaborative exchanges and striving to build community around a film's production and distribution.  

Her films have been screened in film festival and gallery settings. She was the recipient of the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam 'First Appearance' prize in 2019 for the feature film ‘Solidarity’, which premiered at Sheffield Doc Fest and in London at Open City.  Her films are distributed by LUX, London.

Lucy has taught at Arts University Bournemouth and Kingston University. She now Lectures at University College London on the MA in Ethnographic and Documentary Film.
