Eduardo Williams

Eduardo Williams (born in Buenos Aires; based in Paris and Buenos Aires) is a filmmaker and artist who crosses freely between documentary and fiction to create works that are a sensorial exploration of the world mediated by the technology of the camera. Williams’ films carry the viewer through transitional spaces and peripheral paths—alleys, hallways, jungle trails and grocery store aisles—into the intimate lives of their protagonists. What propels the movement of the ambulatory young men in Williams’ films is less central than the visceral feeling of being along for the ride. Films such as That I’m Falling? (2013), I Forgot! (2014) and Parsi (2018), are created out of a “physical intuition” that challenges expectations of narrative, context and place. Williams was the recipient of the Lincoln Center Awards for Emerging Artists (2019) and the Robert E. Fulton III Fellowship in Nonfiction Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University (2020-21).
