Laurence FAVRE

new filmmaker

Nationality: Swiss

Laurence Favre works with still and moving images - mostly analog - sounds and writings. She explores how to divert the conceptual binary oppositions between presence and absence, visibility and invisibility, memory and oblivion, as well as the real and the fictional, generating poetic spaces where movement can be triggered. She focuses mainly on colonial and environmental matters and their entanglements.
Her work is shown internationally in film festivals (Locarno film festival, Rotterdam IFFR, Hong Kong HKIFF, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Hong Kong HKIFF etc.), in art spaces, informal spaces and in the frame of symposiums.
Laurence has lived in Switzerland, Colombia, Australia and Portugal. She now lives and works in Berlin and Geneva. She is an active member of the artist-run filmlab LaborBerlin, and a co-founder of SPECTRAL, a collaboration between six artist-run filmlabs for the creation and diffusion of Expanded Cinema.
