DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY​ - Johanna Vaude

Johanna Vaude is an artist who, single-handed, produces highly distinctive films. She masters all stages of production, from the conception of the film to the création of the soundtrack, from the montage to the achievement of highly special effects. Johanna Vaude is unclassifiable through the way she masters various techniques and influences, exploring different film categories and combining many artistic influences : music, colour, rhythm, poetry, fiction, experimentation, feelings, sight and sound emotion are all at the heart of her créations. At the end of the 90’s, Johanna Vaude began to produce her short films independently of traditional systems. In 2005, the channel Arte presents a portrait of the filmmaker in Court-circuit, its weekly magazine. In 2006, she is made responsible for the avant-garde programmes of the Cinémathèque Française (French Arthouse Cinema). In 2017, she is awarded the Prix Label Image by the Passeurs de Lumière at the SCAM : « Johanna Vaude, alchimiste de l’image » (« Johanna Vaude, image alchemist »). In 2019, her musical video « I’m more than a machine » (robots in cinema) is shown at the Paris Philharmonic during its exhibition « Electro », devoted to electronic music (From Kraftwerk to Daft Punk). The exhibition is to continue in 2020 and 2021 at the London Design Museum.
