DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Joffrey Monteiro-Noël
Joffrey Monteiro-Noël is a writer and director. His work focuses on writing and on the place of the body in space and nature. A body, like a flexible shell, is both passive and active at the same time. His taste for staging and his interest in movement make his research a quest where the forms participate strongly in the expression of the end. Inspired by tales, he likes to take the viewer into a world reminiscent of a strange dream, on the fringe of reality. The Calling is his second collaboration with Goodseed after EAT, a short fiction film (35’) soon to be released on OCS. He is currently working on a series with the support of the CNC (FAIA), and a feature film, L’enfant Doré, co-written with Raphaël Thet, and supported by Groupe Ouest.
