FILM LONDON LODESTARS: Edwin Mingard
"Edwin's skill as an artist filmmaker and cinematographer, as well as his generous spirit with sharing knowledge and equipment through his pioneering AiR Drop residency initiative, make him truly worthy of celebration as a Lodestar this year."
Duncan Poulton (FLAMIN Programme Coordinator)
Edwin Mingard is a socially-engaged visual artist. He works principally with moving image, making standalone artists' film and installations. He wants to celebrate and make visible the joy of the making process itself and explore its value for individual and collective growth and change. He develops processes to enable diverse groups of people to make work together.
Edwin's focus is mirrored in the subject matter of his work, which deals with themes around our social environment and relationships with one another.
Edwin was Director of Photography on the FLAMIN-commissioned Animal Antics (directed by Patrick Goddard), and his most recent film, H Is For Hostile Environment, screened at the Rio Cinema in collaboration with Chisenhale Gallery in May 2022.
