Website test 5
Finn Harvor
One author, every frame — image, text, sound, and edit.
Award-winning writer, filmmaker, and musician working across English, French, and Korean. Based in South Korea.
The practice
Authorial movies
Harvor's videopoems are what he calls authorial movies: films in which a single person originates every element of the work — the writing, the image, the sound, the performance, the edit — rather than directing a crew toward someone else's script or score.
The result sits closer to a poem or a piece of music than to a conventional short film: a single sensibility, followed all the way through.
Recurring concerns
Four subjects the work returns to
Nature and the anthropocene
How ecosystems and human systems now move together — extraction, weather, and the altered ground beneath ordinary life.
Addiction and family
Inherited patterns, dependency, and the fragile work of repair, drawn in part from the life of the artist's late brother.
Technology and contemporary war
Drones, surveillance, and remote violence — and what these instruments do to the people who use and endure them.
The nature of love
Attention, tenderness, and the long labor of staying, examined without sentimentality.
Presented internationally

A GAME OF CAUSES · 1919–1933
The Fracture: Dirty Thirties
Before Canada could recover from one catastrophe, its response to that catastrophe helped set up the next.
~620KCanadians served
~61Kkilled overseas
1 in 10men aged 18–45
Out of a population of roughly eight million, Canada suffered one of the highest per-capita death tolls of any Allied nation in the First World War. Whole cohorts of young men were gone from farms, small towns, and outport villages. The country that emerged in 1919 was short on labour, carrying an enormous war debt, and determined to reward the men who came home — decisions that would quietly shape the vulnerability of the decade to come.
You'll live through five of those decisions, from Ottawa, the Prairies, or the Maritimes. Choose as history did, and you'll watch the Depression arrive in Canada exactly as it did. Choose differently, and the story bends.
