Beatrice Gibson makes films that are improvised and experimental in nature, exploring the pull between chaos and control in the process of their making. Drawing on cult figures from experimental music, literature and poetry - from Cornelius Cardew and Robert Ashley to Kathy Acker and Gertrude Stein - Gibson’s films are citational and participatory. Populated by friends and influences from within her immediate community, they often cite and incorporate co-creative and collaborative processes and ideas.

Solo exhibitions include KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Camden Arts Centre, London; Bergen Kunsthall and Mercer Union, Toronto. Her films have shown at film festivals including New York Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, London Film Festival, Oberhausen Film Festival, Courtisane Film Festival, Punto De Vista International Documentary Film Festival and many more.

Gibson is twice winner of The Tiger Award for best short film, Rotterdam International Film Festival, winner of the 2015 Baloise Art Prize, Art Basel and the Marian McMahon Akimbo Award for Autobiography, 2019.

Gibson's films are distributed by LUX, London. She is represented by Laura Bartlett.
