Jean-Jacques MARTINOD

Nationality: Ecuadorian

Jean-Jacques Martinod is an Ecuadorian filmmaker, radio DJ & media artist and founder of the micropublishing endeavor Evidence House.

His practice operates as constant relational inquiry within the realms of cinematic noumenal perception. By combing parapsychic conjured drifts he creates mythical and parapoetic documentary landscapes in direct dialogue with realms of topographic cognition. On a formal level his works showcase a deep interest in haptokinetic phenomena, grounded in land, body and space, and his research interlaces artistic practices that include archival investigations, analog and digital cinematic artisan manipulations, while also making use of found detritus in hauntological modes of chameleonic media-overlap.

Martinod's work has been showcased in leading festivals, museums and cinematheques, including International Film Festival Rotterdam, FIDMarseille, Sheffield Doc/Fest, Mar del Plata, PHI Centre Montreal, Cinemateca do MAM Rio de Janeiro, The Museum of the Moving Image and the European Media Arts Festival. His work has received several awards including Jury Prize at DocumentaMadrid, both Camira and Explora awards at Curtocircuito, and the Jury Prize at the Belgrade Alternative Film/Video Festival.
