Vincent Moon (FR)

Vincent Moon (real name Mathieu Saura) is an independent French filmmaker and sound explorer. He has been making films for the past ten years travelling the world in quest of sounds, from stadium rock music to rare shamanic rituals, from experimentations in electronics to accapella village songs.

Vincent Moon has been travelling around the globe with a camera in his backpack, documenting local folklore, sacred music and religious rituals, for his label Collection Petites Planètes. 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.
