Jean-Claude
Bustros
Lecturer at the University of Concordia since 2000, he has undertaken research work on cine-film in a broader sense, the more sculptural and plainly apparent in spatial terms, where he is currently incorporating an interactive approach policy. In 2006 he set up the "Schéma" project, bringing together both film and IT science students to concentrate on the issue of an expanded cinema, one which, at the same time, is conscious of its environment as well of those who perceive it.
In the beginning a self taught photographer, Jean-Claude Bustros explored the idiom of media coverage then moved on to a more formal approach using abstraction and architectural volume. He then abandoned photography to study film production and later develop experimental cine-film applications focusing on the recycling of outdated or discarded footage. Hence he processes the cinematographic image, its cadence in time and meaning-content, like reviving a trace of suppressed consciousness.
Some of his films like La Queue tigrée d’un chat, Zéro gravité and more recently Rivière, have left their mark. Exhibited, amongst other places, at the Pompidou Center and at the Jeu de Paume National Gallery in Paris, his works have been shown at numerous festivals, programs and retrospectives throughout the world.
