Peter Strickland

Peter Strickland started making short films on Super 8 and 16mm in the early '90s. His first feature film, KATALIN VARGA was funded from an inheritance and shot and edited on a budget of £25,000. The Carpathian tragedy led to funding from the British film industry and the Milano-Dorking sonic anguish of BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO followed in 2012 along with the bondage romance, THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY in 2014. Several radio plays along with a concert film for Björk co-directed with Nick Fenton were made in the last few years and his fourth feature, the Thames Valley retail nightmare, IN FABRIC was released in 2019.
