SHORTS / LOCAL EVENT

Matt Lambert is filmmaker, visual artist, creative director and curator. Born and raised in LA, Lambert spent the early part of his career between NYC and London before settling in Berlin where he’s been living and working for over a decade. His work spans film, television, fashion, documentary, music video and erotica – working primarily in film, but also photography and performance. Queer intimacy has always been at the core of his visionary work and his new side project and xxx studio, Vitium, explores the explicit sides of those stories. Lambert will be presenting a series xxx work from music video, to experimental short film to collaborations with major adult studios.  

He will be present in person and giving an Q&A after the film screening.
