Jean-Claude Rousseau

Jean-Claude Rousseau

Director & actor · born 1 January 1946 · Paris

Jean-Claude Rousseau is one of the most unconventional lone fighters in French cinema. His predominantly short films deal with no less than cinema per se: space, time and movement. As abstract as each of these concepts might seem taken alone, Rousseau assigns their ultimate designation as an integral whole: A person (or no-one, for that matter) moves (or does not move) within a room (or looks into another room) for a certain amount of time.

Where to start: Last Stop for the Circular Ticket (2026).
