Miranda Pennell (b. 1963, UK; based in London) is a London-based artist-filmmaker whose work engages archival imagery from British colonial contexts to meditate on memory, imagination and imperial legacies. Initially trained as a dancer, she shifted to essayistic filmmaking, exploring choreography in everyday life before studying visual anthropology (MA Goldsmiths, PhD Westminster). Her award-winning films—including Why Colonel Bunny Was Killed and The Host—interrogate how historical documents shape present-day imaginaries and colonial histories.
