Jean-Louis Le Tacon

Born in Brittany in 1945, Jean-Louis Le Tacon is a director, video artist and activist. He went from studying Catholic theology to Marxist socialism, from militant films in Brittany to ethnographic films, initiated by Jean Rouch. "Cochon qui s'en dédit", his PhD graduation film shot on Super 8, won the Georges Sadoul award in 1980. Through his work on form, Le Tacon seeks to provoke nauseous, capitalist vertigo by using saturated colours, aggressive music and staccato editing.
