BIOGRAPHY
Marco Joubert is a self-taught Canadian filmmaker and video artist,
with a background in architecture and visual arts. His audiovisual
practice, characterized by its formal rigor, tends toward the
development of a personal language, situated at the crossroads
of cinema, video art and poetry.
Thematically, his work revolves around the specificity of the human
condition: the implications of our capacity to think and reason; the
gap between material comfort and our basic needs; the difficulty of
communicating with others; and the ever-looming presence of our
mortality. It is about the creation of otherworldly realities that still have
the power to resonate with our common experiences as human beings.
Professional experiences, film shoots, workshops, residencies or
invitations to festivals have brought him to Nebraska, Chicago,
Prague, London, Ottawa, Brussels, Spain, Los Angeles and Minsk.
The works he has directed, co-directed or co-created were rewarded
by the attribution of eleven awards, in addition to earning some forty
nominations; they were screened in Canada, the United States,
Peru, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Russia, Belarus,
India and Australia.
