Erik Knudsen is a filmmaker, and Professor of Film Practice and Head of the School of Media Music and Performance at the University of Salford, Manchester, UK.

He is developing a cinematic film form which allows for a more spiritual and transcendental relationship between viewer and story. Heart of Gold was an Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded documentary project which took the filmmaker, back to his country of birth, Ghana, to explore how traditional story-telling may help shape new approaches to documentary forms. The documentary revolves around the changing relationship local people have to the precious and mystical metal, gold. By exploring this changing relationship, the aim was to discover what kind of stories are told about gold, how these stories are told, and how these stories and their mode of delivery may help the filmmaker create documentary narrative approaches which can encompass both realism and mysticism.
