Marco Joubert

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, is located at the crossroads of cinema, video art, poetry and philosophy.

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.

Professional experiences, film shoots, workshops, residencies or invitations to festivals have brought him to Nebraska, Chicago, Prague, London, Ottawa, Brussels, Spain, Los Angeles, Minsk, Marseille, and Lausanne.

He has had the privilege to collaborate with Marie Tifo, Pierre Curzi, Jean Marchand, Pauline Vaillancourt, Wayne Horvitz, Malcolm Goldstein, Angie Hart and the National Film Board of Canada.

His works were rewarded by the attribution of 49 awards, in addition to earning over 300 nominations; they were screened in the following countries: Albania, Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uruguay, USA, Venezuela and Vietnam.
