Director Biography - Louis Norris

Louis grew up in London. His films have been shown at festivals worldwide (including PÖFF Black Nights, London Short Film Festival, BFI Future Film Festival and Norwegian Short Film Festival), and have won a number of awards. He's worked in cinema programming (for the Garden Cinema, London) and digital art (ZINC, Marseille), and as a projection designer in the UK and Iceland. As a freelance filmmaker, he's worked for a range of organisations, including the University of Cambridge. In January he joined the video team at the Institute of Art and Ideas, editing talks and debates on topics ranging from particle physics to psychedelics.
Louis is one half of 'Moving House', a film production company specialising in short documentaries about architecture that mesh together interviews and dance. In 2021 they made a documentary dance film in Kharkiv (Ukraine) about the legacy of Soviet architecture in the city, and they spent much of 2022 organising fundraising screenings in the wake of the Russian invasion. They've recently been commissioned to make a community arts film in Basildon (UK), taking over disused buildings in the town centre and exploring local people's past, present and future relationship with them.
