Bio

Julien Deschamps

I am a video artist from Paris, based in Dresden since 2017. I am skilled in directing, camera and editing. My work focuses on social, environmental and cultural issues, and my ethics are inspired by non-violent communication (without judgement or exclusion). My role models in the field of documentary film are Frederick Wiseman, Agnès Varda und Chris Marker, whose subjective approach is always accompanied by an honest and responsible attitude.

In parallel to my work as a documentary filmmaker, I am increasingly interested in the question of cultural transmission, especially among younger generations. In my film workshops, I encourage a critical view without judgement and a personal expression, even if the means are lacking. All my projects are carried out with the aim of promoting all kinds of cultural and personal exchange, even the most unexpected, and always within the framework of empathy and solidarity.

As I feel the need to get involved in creating a better society, I sometimes decide to do voluntary work as part of my professional activities. This means that I provide working hours or advice for free to projects that cannot afford the usual fees and that are committed to creating a more sustainable and solidary society.
