Matthew Berka

Known for

Directing

Filmmaker and composer. Born in Australia. His work crosses the boundaries of the film-essay and poetic cinema. Often constructed through the connective tissue of disparate sounds and images, his films find patterns of meaning through association and feeling. Defying a materialist view of the world, they offer a speculative vision of matter. Berka’s previous work has screened at International Film Festival Rotterdam, the Melbourne IFF, Onion City Experimental Film Festival in Chicago, and Antimatter [Media Art] in Victoria, Canada, and has been shown at the London galleries Mackintosh Lane and ZÉRUÌ. Matthew Berka also works as a time-based media conservator at Tate and contributing programmer at Mackintosh Lane.
