Bio/Filmo

Christopher Becks studied fine art and has a master's in philosophy. A member of the Double Negative film collective in Montreal, he currently lives and works in Berlin, where he is pursuing a PhD in philosophy and working with the Labor Berlin film collective.

Emmanuel Lefrant lives and works in Paris, where he makes self-produced films, exclusively on celluloid, that explore the idea of representing and revealing an invisible world (the secret forms of emulsion), a kind of hidden nature. In 2000 he cofounded the Nominoë collective, who have performed at many prestigious sites, including the Pompidou Centre.
