Bio

Sam is a filmmaker, educator and researcher based in Brighton. Working with moving image, text and sound, he is currently exploring how understandings of nonhuman worlds are created, and how scientific environments produce or trouble the complex boundaries between subjectivities and their worlds. His most recent project centres on a film about cephalopods, marine laboratories, ink bodies and out-of-body experiences, working alongside researchers at the Comparative Cognition Lab in Cambridge. He lectures in film, animation and digital arts at the University of Surrey, is a producer at Devonshire Collective in Eastbourne, and runs Volta, a forum for artists' moving image in locations along the UK's south-east coast.
