Jean-Gabriel Périot
Directing
In his youth, Jean-Gabriel Périot assiduously frequents the dark rooms. At fourteen, it's the click, he decides that his job will be to make movies. His passion for archives, visual or sound, and history comes during a work done at the Center Georges Pompidou at the end of his studies. He discovered the possibilities offered by archival images, a rich material that makes it possible to elaborate new visual narratives1. However, before beginning in cinema, he teaches and proposes installations in the field of contemporary art.
