Biography:
Chris Noon is a filmmaker and visual artist based in Chicago. His work explores desire, pain, and identity and how these elements psychologically collapse into each other. Originally from Placentia, CA, he holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, with a background in photography from Santa Monica College.
His early photographic work, rooted in homoerotic aesthetics and transgressive visual language, received juried exhibition placements in 2017 and 2018. Since moving to Chicago, his focus has shifted into experimental and narrative filmmaking. His work has screened both nationally and internationally, including at the Flat Earth Film Festival in Iceland, San Francisco Porn Film Festival, Berlin Porn Film Festival, and Hacker Porn Film Festival in Italy. His short Hunger received the “Best Silent Film Program” award at the 2023 Pan Eros Film Festival in Seattle.
He is currently collaborating with artist John Neff on a documentary about Robert Blanchon, a conceptual and video artist who intimately captured the struggles of AIDS before dying of the disease at the age of 33. Noon remains actively engaged in the Chicagoland art scene through institutions such as Facets Theater, Space.01 Gallery, No Nation Art Lab, and the Chicago Underground Film Festival. His debut narrative short Punisher premiered at the Gene Siskel Film Center to audience acclaim in 2025.
