Bartek Dziadosz is a filmmaker and media lecturer, and the Director of the Derek Jarman Lab at Birkbeck, University of London. The Lab is both a research centre and a production company, dedicated to essay films distributed by Curzon Artificial Eye and Criterion.
His first feature, The Trouble with Being Human These Days (2013), was a hybrid documentary about Zygmunt Bauman and the concept of liquid modernity. He later co-directed The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger (2016) with Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe, and Christopher Roth.
Bartek’s short films span a wide range of subjects—from the history of subliminal advertising (Nothing Exists Until You Sell It, 2021), to the portrait of a Bakelite collector (The Plastic Phoenix, 2020), to the politics of outdoor theatre (Declamations!, 2025). His work has been supported by the AHRC, the Wellcome Trust, and the British Academy.
He also produced Weaving Knowledge (2023), directed by Anita Afonu, and served as editing consultant on the award-winning An Insignificant Man (2016) by Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla.
Educated at the Jagiellonian University, Westminster Film School, and the London Consortium, Bartek completed a PhD on theories of editing. He now teaches cultural studies and media practice at Birkbeck and the Pittsburgh–London Film Program.
His most recent film, The Hexagonal Hive and a Mouse in a Maze (2024), co-directed with Tilda Swinton, is an essay on learning, AI, and imagination. It premiered at Sheffield Doc/Fest and Telluride.
