A three-time Sundance Film Festival alum, Alexandre O. Philippe has developed his own brand of “cinema essay”, exploring the art of filmmaking and its practitioners. Most of his films take on the role of unpacking the most influential works of master filmmakers, and dissecting seminal screen moments. His latest, Chain Reactions, won the prestigious Venice Classics Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. Alexandre is currently working on multiple feature documentaries about cinema, and Kim Novak's Vertigo is set to premiere in Venice in August.
