Rowena Potts is a filmmaker and visual anthropologist with a particular interest in collaborative, experimental and hybrid forms of documentary.

Her short films explore a wide range of subjects, including the entanglements of people and animals in urban settings and the complexity of our unfolding relationship to off-Earth environments. They have screened in international festivals and museums around the world.

Rowena is a co-founder (with Ceridwen Dovey) of The Archival Futures Collective, a creative collaboration dedicated to making archival experimental films about human relationships with nature and landscapes on Earth and in outer space.

She holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from New York University, and a graduate diploma in documentary from the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS). She earned her bachelor's degree in Comparative Religion from Harvard University.

She is currently participating in Documentary Australia’s inaugural Impact Producer Program.
