Hope Pearl Strickland is an artist-filmmaker from Manchester, UK working with experimental and documentary-based modes, incorporating archival, 16mm and digital practices.

Hope’s work has screened internationally at film festivals including the 59th New York Film Festival; BFI London Film Festival (2022); International Film Festival Rotterdam (2025); and Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival (New Cinema Awards, 2025).
