2022 residencies in the Artistic Creation master's program
Culture
As in previous years, the Creative Documentary section of the Artistic Creation master's program, with the support of the cultural department, welcomes two filmmakers in residence.
Mehran Tamadon
Born in Tehran in 1972, Mehran Tamadon studied architecture in Paris before returning to Iran for a few years in 2000. He then began a artistic career: stage design, art installation at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, publication of two essays in Persianetc. In 2004, he directed his first medium-length documentary, Behesht Zahra - Mothers of martyrs, filmed in Teheran's cemetery. There he discovers a religious universe very different from the world in which he grew up, and meets many defenders of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In 2009, he directed Bassidjia feature-length documentary, in which he begins to film his attempts at dialogue with those who support the Iranian regime. He continues this approach in his latest film Iranien (2014), in which he convinces four mullahs to come and live and talk with him for two days in a house. In this closed-door setting, debates mingle with daily life, constantly raising the question: how can we live together when our apprehension of the world is so opposed? Selected for the Berlin Film Festival, the film received the Grand Prix du festival du Cinéma du réel 2014 and has won awards at several other festivals.
Since 2016, Mehran Tamadon has been running weekly filmed talkback workshops with patients from an inpatient unit at a psychiatric hospital in the Val de Marne.
In 2022, he will complete two documentary films, projects he began in 2016.
After taking courses in drama and photography, Alexe Poukine first studied anthropology, then art history. documentary filmmaking at Lussas (Creative Documentary course, Université Grenoble Alpes /Ardèche Images) and thescreenwriting at the Atelier Scénario de la Fémis.
After two feature-length documentaries, Sleep, sleep in the stones (2013) and Without knocking (2019), in 2020 she directed her first drama, Palma.
She now devotes her time to writing two films: one fiction and one documentary, although the distinction is debatable.
