Born in 1967. Lives and works in Marseilles, France. Jean-Paul Noguès has grabed his first camera in 1975, being cameraman for a super 8 film shot at the end of the primary school ! Bass player in different rock bands between 1988 and 1995, he has studied cinema in Aix-en-Provence where he passed, in 1993, under the supervision of Nicole Brenez, a Master entitled « The rock representation in movies from 1970 to 1981 ». Location manager for cinema and television, he has become during almost ten years curator for the short-film international competition of the Festival Tous Courts (Aix-en-Provence, France) where, since 2001, he has been in charge (in collaboration with Emmanuelle Sarrouy) of the experimental program. He has been president of the festival from 2008 to 2012. Since the dawn of the XXIst Century, Jean-Paul Noguès has begun filming in digital video."My films are talking about love, body, intimacy. They work on the image penetrating the heart of matter, of texture, and rediscovering the abstraction coming from daily life, from woman’s body, from man’s body, between terror and passion." Among a number of screenings, his films have been showed in the following festivals : Cinemas Differents (Paris, France), Cote Court (Pantin, France), Videoformes (Clermont-Fd, France), Tous Courts (Aix-en-Pce, France), Oberhausen (Germany), Rotterdam (Nederlands), Instants Video (Mar del Plata, Argentina), Images Contre Nature (Marseille, France), Arrets sur Images (Charleroi, Belgium), Underground Lausanne (Switzerland), Extreme Love autour de Philippe Grandrieux (Tokyo, Japan) and at the Cinemathèque Française (Paris, France).
