Ken Fero is a practice-oriented media educator with a special interest in production and an international reputation as a documentary filmmaker. He has 20 years of experience in the field of broadcast documentaries and a solid background working with internationally acclaimed documentaries to his credit, including the groundbreaking film "Injustice".
He specializes in research and production of documentaries as well as experimental artists' films. He engages with emerging digital media platforms using new technologies while questioning their role within the framework of surveillance capitalism. His recent work includes film animation as part of the research project "Deport, Deprive, Extradite" supported by Economic and Social Research, which studied the changing dynamics of racism and the security state. He is a consultant for the "Creative Interruptions" project supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, in which I am supervising documentary filmmakers of artists in Palestine making films that explore and recover the imagery of their heritage.
He is interested in how artists and filmmakers can work with communities of interest over long periods of time (measured in decades) where a more inclusive creative process can work. Alexander Kluge emphasized the capacity of film as a pure research tool. This notion of the "utopia of film" is part of a research process that is embedded in the whole practice of Fero Ken.
