John Sealey

Filmmaker John Sealey began his career making short films and specialising in video documentation for artists and galleries. He studied film practice at the University of Wales Newport and went on to do an M.A. in European Cinema and PhD in Film Practice at the University of Exeter, where he currently teaches film.

Sealey’s practice is grounded in cultural identity and his films interrogate areas of research within Diaspora histories – their function to challenge and create new ways of reception within the formulaic structure of classical narrative cinema.

John Sealey’s film was shown in Iniva’s ‘Progress Reports: art in an era of diversity’ exhibition in 2010.
