Jean-Julien Pous

After graduating in 3d animation in France in 2007, my first short film Switch was screened and awarded in several festivals. In 2009 my second film Seeking You also won several awards such as Best (...) New Arrival at Rotterdam Festival. The same year I made a very short film Aurore which was screened again at Rotterdam and awarded later in Seoul. From 2010 I worked for several clients in advertising, such as Lenovo, Haier, Chanel, the French Federation of Tennis, the Wuxi Museum in China (Red Dot Design Award, 2014), the Spanish Tourism Board, Millet, the Museum of Hangeul and Arte. In parallel I continued making short films in live-action this time, experimenting with different visual techniques with Drift Away (2009) and Sous l'Eau (2010). Having a keen interest in journalism as well, I first attempted to make documentaries with Beijing Strangers (2012) then Résonances (2017), awarded in several festivals. My work was also exhibited with special prints and photographs in various group exhibitions and 3 solo exhibitions in Seoul and Paju, South Korea, between 2013 and 2017. In 2019 I directed the animation of an Augmented Reality (AR) theatre play at the Wooran Foundation residency in Seoul, and supervised the VFX of a short animation film produced by Marmitafilms in Bordeaux, France.
