Biography
Jean Rouch (French: [ÊuÊ]; 31 May 1917, Paris â 18 February 2004, Niger) was a French filmmaker and anthropologist. He is considered to be one of the founders of cinĂ©ma-vĂ©ritĂ© in France, which shared the aesthetics of the direct cinema. Rouch's practice as a filmmaker for over sixty years in Africa, was characterized by the idea of shared anthropology. Influenced by his discovery of surrealism in his early twenties, many of his films blur the line between fiction and documentary, creating a new style of ethnofiction. He was also hailed by the French New Wave as one of theirs. His seminal film Me a Black (Moi, un noir) pioneered the technique of jump cut popularized by Jean-Luc Godard. Godard said of Rouch in the Cahiers du CinĂ©ma (Notebooks on Cinema) n°94 April 1959, "In charge of research for the MusĂ©e de l'Homme (French, "Museum of Man") Is there a better definition for a filmmaker?" Along his career, Rouch was no stranger to controversy.
