Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis

Born in France in 1988, Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis is a graduate of INSAS in editing, of the École supérieure des arts Saint-Luc in filmmaking and of Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. Through his work, he develops a "cinematière", a hybrid artistic practice that extends cinema to the field of contemporary art. His work questions digital identity, memory, the virtual and explores the porous worlds of the image. In 2017, he directed Ondes noires, which evokes the troubles of people intolerant to electromagnetic radiation. In 2018, he directed Swatted, a short documentary looking at swatting, a phenomenon of cyber stalking. His most recent film, Maalbeek, received the César for best short documentary in 2022.
