Nidd Films was founded by producer Mark Anthony and is based in North Yorkshire. Its work is shaped by a place-led approach that brings together landscape, archive, and lived experience. Taking its name from the River Nidd — meaning brilliant or shining — Nidd Films is grounded in the belief that story begins with place, and that landscape is never simply backdrop, but presence. Projects are developed through a place-led, research-driven process bringing together archive, landscape, and lived experience. The work is shaped by careful listening: to sites, to communities, to overlooked histories, and to the quieter traces that remain when official narratives fall away. This approach values ethical engagement, creative clarity, and development that grows organically rather than being imposed. Accessibility is embedded from the earliest stages of writing and development. Projects are conceived with disability access in mind, ensuring that, wherever possible, the stories, materials, and experiences created by Nidd Films are open to a wide range of audiences, collaborators, and communities. Access is treated not as an afterthought, but as part of how work is structured, shared, and encountered. From the historical short film Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor to the practice-led project The Valley: A Keeping, Nidd Films operates as a connected creative slate. Each project informs the next, building a body of work that values continuity over spectacle, care over extraction, and attention over noise.
