THE LAST NAME OF JOHN CAGE

  • Margaux Guillemard

How much can you imagine gaining and losing trust in just 4 minutes and 33 seconds? The director with the audience's ability to fill in the gaps and create their own images and stories. Silence becomes a way to listen to – and contemplate – our own sounds.

DIRECTOR

  • Margaux Guillemard

    Margaux Guillemard is a French director, film teacher and voice actress. She has directed a number of short films, including 26 rue Saint-Fargeau and The Last Name of John Cage. She is currently collaborating with choreographer Dorine Aguilar on a multimedia project called I don't think you know. Over the past nine years, she has also worked with Swedish experimental director Mia Engberg on several feature films.
