CHRIS OHLSON

Biography

Chris Ohlson is a filmmaker and video artist whose work spans multiple dimensions of film, documentary, video art installation and oblique visual meditations. 

Ohlson’s thoughtfully provocative work often explores and dissects our memory of time—how we perceive, formulate, edit and curate our own reality. His films and videos make use of auditory, visual, and experiential collage—from snippets of conversations with intimates and strangers, to voiceover, archival imagery, found footage and orchestral sound design.  Chris works diligently and sensitively at exploring his own mortality—the what, if anything, it means to be alive, and how in the not-knowing-precisely-the-meaning-of-our-lives, we choose to present ourselves in all our manifest and mundane glory.

Ohlson’s works have screened widely in America and all over the world: film and video festivals from Berlinale to Sundance, to SXSW and beyond; galleries and spaces including Itau Cultural Center (São Paulo), 111 Minna Gallery (San Francisco), Central Cinema (Seattle), Project 101 (Paris), Anthology Film Archives (NYC), The Holy Art Gallery (London), Independent & Image Art Space (China), and Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (Korea).

Chris has received generous support, guidance, and leadership opportunities from the Sundance Institute, Film Independent, The Gotham Film & Media Institute (formerly IFP), Rotterdam Lab and the Austin Film Society.

He is a partner and the executive producer of the award-winning creative production company REVELATOR.
