Lucy Parker is an artist filmmaker, film educator and homelessness case 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 imagine and 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 Internationally. She was the recipient of the International Documentary Film 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.
She is currently working with TACO! in Thamesmead to develop a new work ‘Good Byes’ which explores how goodbyes are facilitated in community setting. More information here.
She is developing a film about the UK Undercover Policing Inquiry, this has been supported by IDFA Project Space 2021 and Film in Mind.
