Love’s Labour
Kristin Li
Current project
In a world where “Surrogates” are hired to perform wealthy women’s public personas, a devoted employee forms a troubling bond with her client.
A dystopian melodrama about emotional labour, the future of work, and public/private identities.

Kristin Li
Kristin Li was born in Chengdu, China, and currently works in Toronto and Montreal. As an emerging filmmaker and multimedia artist, Kristin creates experimental narratives, animations, documentaries, and installations that explore contemporary formations of power. These projects recontextualize familiar stories, practices, and institutions to reveal the ways that they constrain us in spite of our intentions, and the hidden sites of possibility that we can nonetheless exploit. Kristin’s work has been shown across North America, South America, and Europe, with screenings at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (Germany), National Contemporary Art Museum Bucharest (Romania), Cinémathèque qu ebécoise (Canada), and MIX NYC (US).
