Julia RV Alcamo
documentary | filmmaker
I am a multi-disciplinary documentary director driven by a deep desire to understand my fellow humans, to share unheard perspectives and not least, to entertain. I have directed and shot short films for Channel 4, Al Jazeera, and supported by the Doc Society Made of Truth fund. I have also directed and produced branded documentaries for National Geographic, Gay Times, UNICEF, Tate Galleries and Bupa. My films have been nominated and screened at international film festivals, including Doc NYC, Mardi Gras Film Festival in Australia, and Kashish Pride Film Festival in India. Telling the story of queer legends encountering homophobia in old age, Ted & Noel won the Iris Audience Award 2023 and has been shortlisted for the Griersons 2024. My background is working as a series producer for Sky History and BBC World.
Beyond documentary, I love working with dance on film and immersive performance. Amongst these projects is my Channel 4 Random Acts film, The Pool, which screened at Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival (Bristol) and Playback Festival (ICA, London) and was nominated at the Royal Television Society Student Awards.
