About Jamie Janković
Jamie J
anković is a non-binary experimental filmmaker hailing from Plymouth, England whom is currently enrolled on the Experimental Film MA at Kingston School of Art. They graduated from Kingston University in 2017 with a BA in Media & Communication and Sociology and for this reason their work is particularly driven by the idea of using film and visual media as an accessible alternative to academia in regards to educating others about social justice and social awareness. Their work primarily revolves around using their lived experience as a queer person as a jumping off point for creating audio-visual projects that focus on specific under or misrepresented social issues and examining how they specifically impact the lives of queer people. Janković has examined topics such as: film, advertising and visual media as a tool to reinforce and uphold gender stereotypes; male* rape; queer domestic abusive relationships and queer accessibility in video games.
