Ben Rivers (born 1972) is an artist and experimental filmmaker based in London. His work has been shown in many film festivals and galleries around the world and has won numerous awards. His work ranges from themes about exploring unknown wilderness territories to candid and intimate portrayals of real-life subjects.

Life and career

Rivers studied fine art at Falmouth University.[1] Rivers's practice as a filmmaker treads a line between documentary and fiction. Often following and filming people who have in some way separated themselves from society, the raw film footage provides Rivers with a starting point for creating oblique narratives imagining alternative existences in marginal worlds. Rivers uses near-antique cameras and hand develops the 16 mm film, which shows the evidence of the elements it has been exposed to – the materiality of this medium forming part of the narrative.[2]

Rivers's first feature-length film, Two Years at Sea, was presented in September 2011 in the Orizzonti section at the 68th Venice International Film Festival and won the FIPRESCI International Critics prize.

His second feature, A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness,[3] was made in collaboration with Ben Russell and premiered at Locarno Film Festival 2013.

The feature films are distributed in UK by SODA Pictures[4] and Cinema Guild[5] and KimStim[6] in North America.

Rivers is represented by Kate MacGarry Gallery, London.
