Award-winning artist, theatre and filmmaker Juliet Ellis takes us behind the scenes at Aviva Studios where A Symphony of Flesh and Bones is taking shape.

Premiering at MIF25, A Symphony of Flesh and Bones is a deeply personal meditation on the nature of self told through the stories of Juliet's father Lloyd, a world champion body builder, and her brother Anthony, a former cage fighter.

Juliet talks about the importance of authenticity and honesty in filmmaking, the influences of David Lynch and the philosophy behind her work.

Juliet Ellis: A Symphony of Flesh and Bones runs from 10 to 13 July 2025 at Manchester International Festival 2025. Find out more here.
