Lauren Marsden

Lauren Marsden is a Canadian filmmaker and media artist living in Vancouver, BC. Her practice spans a wide range of interests including character performances, experiments in time travel, interventions into press photography, and a fascination with cinematic conventions. Her performances place unreliable narrators in landscapes or on the stage, resulting in the production of text, video, photography, and ephemera as documentation. Using humour and absurdity, Marsden is known for staging performative scenarios that subvert the normalcy of public rituals. She received her MFA from the California College of the Arts (2010) and has exhibited her work in Canada, Italy and the United States. TABANCA (2022), Marsden’s award winning narrative short film, has screened at 30 festivals around the world, including BFI Flare London, Inside Out Toronto, and Short Shorts in Japan.
