Eloise King

Eloïse King is a queer, London-born inter-disciplinary filmmaker of Caribbean heritage. Through a lens that amplifies marginalized perspectives, she interrogates the fractures and fictions of societal ‘progress’, uncovering the contradictions embedded within cultural and institutional shifts. Her award-winning works are both poetic and provocative and seek to challenge dominant histories and reimagine the possibilities of collective memory.

As a former Global Executive Producer at VICE & i-D, King led a multi-award-winning international long-form documentary team across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Her previous titles, as a director and/or producer, earned her recognition from: THE GATHERINGS (Grierson nominated), KIDS BEHIND BARS (ITV, A&E), PINS & NEEDLES (Broadcast Awards) and GURLS TALK (LOVIE/ WEBBY winner) and AMY WINEHOUSE & ME: DIONNES’ STORY (MTV and Paramount+). Her collaborative works have appeared in international cultural institutions such as the ICA, Tate Britain, the V&A, and MoAD.

Her work has been supported by Sheffield Doc Fest Queer Realities Director Lab, Firelight Media Fellowship, and a Bertha Foundation, Perspective and Field of Vision. As Writer/Director, King’s narrative feature YOUTS was selected for the prestigious BFI LFF Network industry programme.
