Jonathan Caouette is an acclaimed filmmaker whose genre-defying debut, Tarnation, made waves and earned accolades from the National Society of Film Critics, the Boston Society of Film Critics, the London Film Festival, and the British Film Institute, as well as nominations from the Independent Spirit Awards, Gotham Awards, and the IDA. Celebrated for his deeply personal and experimental approach, his films are often described as groundbreaking, emotional, and impossible to categorize. His work has been featured at festivals around the world, including Sundance, Cannes, Berlin, Toronto, London, and SXSW, and has attracted champions like Gus Van Sant, John Cameron Mitchell, agnès b, John Waters, Stephen Winter, Roger Ebert, and Brady Corbet. He has also worked with artists such as Chloë Sevigny and Asia Argento, participated in group art shows with David Lynch, and appeared on panels and in conversations with visionaries including Werner Herzog, Todd Haynes, Anohni, and many others. Alongside Tarnation, his films include Walk Away Renee, All Tomorrow’s Parties, and a wide range of innovative experimental shorts, music videos, and multimedia projects. After an extended health crisis, he is now developing an ambitious new project that reimagines storytelling by merging subversive, boundary-breaking approaches with radical ciné-punk forms of narrative to make a new kind of disruptive noise.
