Ben Rivers

Ben Rivers makes films which tread a line between documentary and fiction, often following people who have in some way separated themselves from mainstream society, creating oblique narratives imagining alternative existences. Awards include the EYE Art Film Prize; FIPRESCI International Critics Prize, 68th Venice Film Festival for his first feature film Two Years At Sea; Baloise Art Prize, Art Basel; and the Pardo Verde for Mare’s Nest at Locarno Film Festival.
