Somewhere between performance art and ethnography, the intimate and the burlesque, plasticity and the phantasmagorical, the films of Matthew Lancit merge and break apart traditional categorization. They have won accolades at festivals around the world, and have been invited to various museums and galleries. His first feature (Funeral Season) was chosen for preservation by the Library and Archives of Canada, and his second (Play Dead!) was broadcast on ARTE - La Lucarne.
