Daniel Raven Ellison

A small figure walks, wades, climbs or canoes through a bewilderment of landscapes, from coastal to river, to farmland, to mountain – the motif of Daniel Raven-Ellison's new film UK National Parks in 100 Seconds.

Filmed throughout Autumn, Raven-Ellison says that the shoot was challenging due to conditions and terrain. Of his locations, he says he always wants “to walk them. My exploration of the landscape is not explicit in the film, but my on the ground experience is a critical part of my thinking and storytelling outside of the frame.”
