Eloïse King is a multi-disciplinary filmmaker working across film, photography, and journalism. Rooted in her perspective as a queer woman of Caribbean, working-class heritage, her practice seeks to interrogate cultural and institutional shifts and the tensions of "progress" - to disrupt dominant histories towards re-centering and reimagining marginalized collective memory.

Her debut feature, THE SHADOW SCHOLARS, was longlisted for the BAFTA Film for Outstanding Debut (2026), executive produced by Sir Steve McQueen and backed by BFI Doc Society, Film4, Firelight Media, Field of Vision, Bertha, and Perspectives. It pioneered the ethical use of AI/VFX to protect its Kenyan subjects. The film premiered at BFI London Film Festival, 2024 (Special Jury Mention), screened at 30+ festivals including IDFA, CPH:DOX, and Tribeca, and won the Golden Owl at Bergen International Film Festival.

King is the founder of Whiteteeth Productions and former Global Executive Producer at VICE Media, where she led multi-award-winning documentary teams across five continents, overseeing series and films including NEEDLES & PINS, HIGH SOCIETY, VICE REPORTS, and MYKKI BLANCO: Out of This World (MoAD, San Francisco and archived at Tate Britain).

Producing and directing credits also include the Grierson-nominated THE GATHERINGS, GURLS TALK: ADWOA ABOAH (Lovie/Webby Award), AMY WINEHOUSE & ME: DIONNE'S STORY (MTV/Paramount+), and THIS HOUSE NEEDS CLEANSING (Tate, 2025), in addition to directing commercial campaigns for Nike, Twitter (now X), and charity Coppa Feel (first TVC to show a nipple). King founded WOMEN ON DOCS (V&A, BFI, BAM), a curatorial program platforming women and non-binary nonfiction filmmakers.

She is a recipient of Film & TV Charity John Brabourne Award, Sheffield DocFest Queer Realities Director Bursary, Netflix Non-Fiction Fellowship, Firelight Media Fellowship, and Logan Nonfiction Fellowship, and has been a BFI Future Film Festival Keynote Speaker, BAFTA Guru Mentor, and BFI London Film Festival Grierson Documentary Competition Jury President (2025). She also serves as a Guest Lecturer on the Nonfiction course at the NFTS.
