Filmmaking

Before returning to full-time art practice, Morris combined a career in academia with a career as a filmmaker.

Morris's filmmaking work (on sexuality and politics, based upon ideas of and produced/directed jointly with Ron Moule) was shown in art galleries in New York City, Montreal and the ICA, London and led to joint commissions for programmes on Channel 4, including work developing new work by LGBT filmmakers.

In 2003 Morris wrote and directed Textual @traction , which premiered at the International Festival of New Film in Split, Croatia. Following a world-wide tour of international festivals including the Academy-listed Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, the film was given a global television first for an interactive film, when it was broadcast on S4C in January 2006, under its Welsh title Caru T x.

In 2008, Morris' second interactive film Watch Me, used video messaging as part of the film's format. It made the official selection for Strasbourg International Film Festival. It was also in the Official Selection for the Interfilm Berlin International Short Film Festival.

Morris was, until 2014, Reader in Film at the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries, University of South Wales, Cardiff. He specialised in screenwriting and directing as well as the study of European and avant-garde cinema.
