The son of a fairground painter Lars Knorrn grew up in various amusement parks around Germany. Self-taught in filmmaking, Lars lived for six years in London, where his career as a commercial director began. His ambition moved him further to Paris, where he made his feature film debut SILHOUETTES, in which he critically explored observations from the advertising and fashion world. Today Lars lives in Berlin.

During the lockdown, I had the desire to capture this extraordinary moment - not only to share very personal feelings, but also to explore them throughout the entire process. The risk of showing oneself vulnerable is a fundamental position of the characters in DISTANZ. LASZLO and ZOE negotiate in their most minimalistic and most human form consequences of the ego and fear, but also the desire for love and truth.
