British film director and scholar.

Peter (*1964) was born and brought up in Northumberland, England. He studied French and Philosophy at Oxford University, before moving to Paris where he worked in publishing and journalism, and as a consultant to UNESCO. He lived in Egypt from 1997 to 2000. On his return to Europe, he started making agit-prop documentary films. Over time, his work has evolved beyond the purely political to engage with the experimental and avant-garde traditions, and to address wider philosophical issues. He has travelled and worked widely around the world, in particular in the Palestinian territories, where a number of his films were shot, and India, where he was a consultant for the International Society for Ecology and Culture.
His short films have won him the inaugural Northern Film and Media Sound and Image production grant, as well as prizes at Toma Unica (Madrid), Malescorto International Short Film Festival, and Kansas City Film Festival. His work has screened at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Documenta Madrid, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Cinema Vérité (Tehran), Experiments in Cinema, Ecrans documentaires, Entrevues and Abandon Normal Devices, as well as at the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. His films are distributed by the Collectif Jeune Cinéma and Dérives magazine. He is currently based in Belgium, where he is preparing a PhD on vernacular video and documentary practice after the Arab Spring at MAD Faculty (PXL/Hasselt).

Peter Snowdon is a filmmaker and researcher. His film and video work combines documentary process with formal experimentation. His short films are distributed by the Collectif Jeune Cinéma (Paris), and have been widely shown at festivals.

His first feature-length film, The Uprising (Rien à voir production/Third Films), débuted at the Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival in 2013, where it won the Opus Bonum award for best world documentary. It has since played at over 20 festivals, and won several more prizes.

Peter is currently based in Glasgow, where he teaches filmmaking at the University of the West of Scotland.
