Jean-Jacques Martinod

A reclusive glass artist lives in solitude within the dense, misty forests of Southern Appalachia and the infernal fires of a foundry. A cinematic study on mountain alchemy and its relationship to fire.

An abandoned warehouse becomes a theater when men surrender their lives on stage to a game of chance.

An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialog between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X of periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the United States, invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures. A road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human), the warnings of history, the power of nature and rebirth.

Isidro meanders through the rainforest as he recounts his various encounters with death.

In an ubiquitous image void a spirit voice explains.

Within the ancient precambrian rock of northern Canada lies one of the largest reserves of Uranium on the planet. A power that has produced the greatest destructive energy known to man, it also manifests itself in the natural glory of the region. A Gothic travelogue that calls for dialogue with the ghosts of the region; mining towns swallowed up in the pandemonium of trade, extraction and abandonment. While unknown forces that inhabit these lands speaks in somber memories.

2013 was the last summer where drive-in movie theaters in the United States of America utilized 35mm projection for exhibition. In the southeastern states of the country, while the surface of the screen reflects the images, different scenarios play out in the dark. Subsurface rituals find voice in the dead of night while diurnal happenings slowly eat away the vague architecture of a bracketed past.
