SHORT BIO
Vincent Moon (real name Mathieu Saura, born August 25, 1979) is an independent filmmaker and sound explorer. He was the co-creator of the Blogothèque's ‘Concerts à emporter’ devoted to Western indie music. For more than twenty years he has been a nomad, travelling the world with a camera on his back, documenting popular and sacred music, trance ceremonies and sound experiments for his Petites Planètes Collection, which to this day includes more than 1,300 films, all published in open source. He works alone or with people he finds on the road, and most of the time without money involved in the projects, trying to produce and distribute films without following the established industry standards. He shares all his work, films and music recordings, for free on internet, under a Creative Commons license.
