About the Director(s)

His films have been exhibited at various film festivals, institutions, and venues internationally, such as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, New York Film Festival, Viennale, BFI London, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Guanajuato, True/False, Ambulante, Curtas Vila do Conde, Wexner Center, REDCAT, and others. Some of his work exists in the collection of the UCLA Film & Television Archive, Cinematheque of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, and The Film-Makers' Coop. in New York. He holds a Film/Video degree from CalArts, is a Sundance Ignite Fellow, and is the recipient of the Allan Sekula Social Documentary Fund and the Tim Disney Prize for Excellence in the Storytelling Arts."

STILLNESS OF LABOR
In the film STILLNESS OF LABOR, Chris Larson replicates 12 full-scale rooms using objects extracted from an abandoned garment factory in Tennessee to mirror the environment of the laborers. When labor was outsourced in 1998, the rural community was left without work in a town centered around industry. Larson recreates the architecture of the factory as a study of the anthropogenic imprint humans leave behind in spaces of heavy repetition.
