Quentin Dupieux

French electronic musician and film director

Quentin Dupieux worked in film at a period when the medium itself was still changing shape.

The record lists Quentin Dupieux as French electronic musician and film director.

Quentin Dupieux was born at Paris in 1974. His recorded nationality is France.

By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.

The record gives his roles in the industry as record producer, disc jockey and film director.

His name is attached above all to 1999 single "Flat Beat". The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.

That the work was made from France shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Quentin Dupieux is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
