Anechoic Chamber episode 22 - Jean-Jacques Martinod Anechoic Chamber podcast

Welcome to the 22nd episode of Anechoic Chamber, once again bringing you unique reportage from the thriving margins of art and culture. Our guest for this edition is Jean-Jacques Martinod, Ecuadorian filmmaker, transmedia artist, archivist, radio DJ, and occasional curator. Martinod’s film work, which is the topic of discussion for this program, fuses together elements of both experimental and documentary filmmaking practice, resulting in a unique audio-visual hybrid that the artist describes as follows: “Cinema as messenger via spontaneous generation and improvisation, at an immanent level, to counteract the society of the spectacle...an invitation to a polysemic experience and potential polyphonies. A cinema of becomings.” This is evident in films such as Before the Deluge, La Bala de Sandoval (or Sandoval’s Bullet), and Datura’s Aubade, the last done in collaboration with Bretta Walker. Taking occasional cues from surrealist and gothic styles of literature, cinematic influences such as Jean Epstein and film peers like Salome Lamas (whose concept of para-fiction informs Martinod’s own evocation of what he calls para-worlds) his work boils down a complex set of reference points into a visceral experience that is strangely accessible while being intellectually challenging. As such, he has screened at international festivals such as the Rotterdam Film Festival, FIDMarseille, Mar del Plata, European Media Arts Festival, 25FPS, and many more, alongside regular appearances in galleries and DIY spaces. So here, with a much more detailed exposition of his creative vision, is Jean Jacques Martinod.
