Jean-Claude Taki (France)

Jean-Claude Taki lives and works in Paris. Musician at first, he has worked on many films (short and documentary films) as a sound operator and composed soundtracks. At the same time, he made his own short films for which he received prizes in French and foreign films festivals. Then he made his first feature film Aurore/Number 9. In 2005, invited by the Forum des images in Paris, he has continued his work as a filmmaker and has extended his search for new formal and narrative ways of filmmaking by using a mobile phone as a camera. His films are then shown as well in cinema as in art center (LACDA - Los Angeles Center of Digital Art, Museum of Contemporary Art - Washington D.C., Centre Pompidou - Paris,...) His narrative themes are absence, traces, dissolution, disappearance. His book Letters Kazakhes edited by the Editions Intervalles in November 2007 is an epistolary novel illustrated by Guillaume Reynard. In August 2008, a retrospective of his films has been presented at the Open Cinema International Film Festival in St. Petersburg - Russia. February 2010, he presented Self-Portrait 365 in the group exhibition The real new opium? at Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire - Paris.
