Isla Badenoch is a filmmaker and artist living in the rural borderlands of the UK and Ireland. She is interested in hidden communities and rites of passage connected to the natural environment. Her atmospheric films defy stereotypical understandings of those who have been excluded from society.
Isla’s work has led her to be selected as a Screen International Star of Tomorrow 2024, with films at numerous international OSCAR / BAFTA-qualifying festivals, long-listed for a BIFA, broadcast on BBC4, Short of the Week, WaterBear and Minute Shorts.
Isla is in development of her debut narrative feature NOT DROWNING supported by BFI and Ffilm Cymru.
