Vincent Moon’s ‘Live Cinéma’

Vincent Moon is an independent filmmaker and sound explorer. He was the co-creator of the Blogothèque‘s ‘Concerts à emporter’ devoted to Western indie music. For more than twenty years he has been a nomad, travelling the world with a camera on his back, documenting popular and sacred music, trance ceremonies and sound experiments for his Petites Planètes Collection, which to this day includes more than 1,600 films, all published in open source.

In search of a contemporary form of connection with the image, breaking away from Western narrative while questioning the hybridisation of our digital practices, his‘Live Cinéma’ opens up to another way of thinking about the relationship with the spectator. An optical ritual, a call to the personal unconscious hidden behind our collective images, an endless research into contemporary trance, Vincent Moon’s ‘Live Cinéma’ is an intense visual and sonic improvisation based on the entirety of his musical research around the world.

At the heart of his approach for sharing and experimenting, as an endless quest for the beauty of the world, the ´Live Cinéma´ is also an ongoing critique of all forms of ownership and borders, in complete transparency. A performance adapted to the venue, it sometimes involves local musicians and artists who take part in this game of magic mirrors held up to reality.
