Biography
"Philippe Cote (8 August 1965 - 24 November 2016) lived and worked in Paris. He made over 20 Super 8 films beginning in 1998 which were screened in festivals and film series in France and other countries. He curated experimental films programs and was on the selection commitee of the Festival International des Cinemas Differents et Experimentaux in Paris. He was a member of the film cooperative L’Etna, an artisanal and member-run film development laboratory founded in 1997 in Paris A filmmaker with a sensitive and radical vision, his earlier works focused on the themes of the body, matter, light and color with techniques that range from cameraless filmmaking to painting on celluloid. After 2005, he moved towards a poetic and contemplative approach to documentaries and travel films. For Philippe Cote, cinema revealed itself as a space of self-invention and of the other one, plastic exploration of the limits of subjectivity and an attempt to establish links. In a desire to take a permanent risk, his work wove and transformed from one film to another, seeking what occurs in the gaze’s movement, constantly transformed by the prints." - Violeta Salvatierra
