Natalie Cubides-Brady is an award-winning London filmmaker whose work explores, among other subjects, the unreliable relationship we can have with landscapes. Her film After the Silence looks at a strange, sad and beautiful tradition in a civil war-torn town by a bend in the river in Colombia (her mother’s birthplace), while The Veiled City creates a new story from old footage of London enveloped in deadly smog.
Natalie’s work has been toasted by the likes of the London Critics Circle, Zinebi Bilbao, BFI, European Film Awards and many more. For our interests regarding uncanny landscape, she is a young filmmaker whose work is vital to the artistic discussion around the climate emergency, the uncanny relationship to place and bringing Armando’s ‘guilty landscapes’ into a new era of artmaking.
I hope you enjoy Natalie’s ideas as we talk about Colombia, London and the strangeness of 21st-century places.
