Pauline Maure is a filmmaker from Paris, France, with a background in philosophy. She is researching unusual forms of filmmaking and storytelling to create revived narratives and imagery. Her performative screenings aim to reshape the traditional movie-theater experience, through live interventions and multisensory triggers.
Maure creates anti-westerns, subverting the codes of the genre in a highly critical manner. Their dried-out wide landscapes act as a cinematic sandbox for deeper concerns. Through core motifs such as horns, ropes, and scissors, she deals with love, hate, joy and violence as polarizing forces within simplistic plots and abstract environments.
