BIO
DISTRIBUTION
The visual language established in Stevens' work presents the audience with critical yet often poetic forms in film, video and photography. Recurrent themes connect visual codes of landscape, borders and migration with more orthodox forms of documentation and reportage such as journalism and political dogma.
His short films have been exhibited internationally including the Whitechapel Gallery, 10th Istanbul Biennial, Tapei Museum of Modern Art, Serpentine Cinema, OVNI, Barcelona and Frieze film. His most recent film Atlantropa commissioned by Film London won Best False Fiction Jury Award at the Ann Arbor Film Festival 2010. Stevens has also contributed to various publications such as Fresh Moves (Thames & Hudson) and Eight Metaphors (Lux) and has published two limited DVD/Book sets When I Sit Down to Write and Three Films on Language.
