Luke Fowler
Luke Fowler is an artist, filmmaker and musician born in 1978 and based in Glasgow. His films have been described as "para-documentary" and often interweave archival footage with his own camerawork and sounds. Fowler’s film portraits often hinge on controversial figures or movements which have been marginalized, erased or misrepresented by contemporary culture. Fowler studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee. Fowler was awarded the inaugural Derek Jarman Award in 2008 and was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2012 for his first feature film All Divided Selves. Fowler’s short film Mum’s Cards was awarded the 2019 Scottish Short Film Award at Glasgow Short Film Festival as well as the prize for Best Short at Punto de Vista International Documentary Film Festival of Navarre, Spain. Fowler’s _Being in a Place: A Portrait of Margaret Tait _was awarded the La Scam International Award 2023 at Cinéma du Réel.
