Kannan’s practice approaches filmmaking as an encounter with people, places and histories through sustained observation.

Working across film, installation and research,
Kannan’s work has been presented in galleries, cinemas and academic contexts internationally. His practice has developed through work in Sri Lanka, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia and the UK, bringing together observational filmmaking and contemporary moving-image practice. His practice has included Mellon-funded interdisciplinary research collaborations with Cornell University.
