Biography of Ben Rivers:

A London-based artist and filmmaker. He has created around 40 short and feature films that blur the line between documentary and fiction, often focusing on people living on the margins of society. Rivers won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Venice Film Festival for his debut feature, Two Years at Sea. His solo exhibitions have been held in Milan, Chicago, Hamburg, and London, and a complete retrospective of his work was presented at the National Gallery of Jeu de Paume in Paris.
