During his studies, John Blouin became a projectionist at the NFB. He founded Cabina Obscura, a cinematic performance combining 35-16 mm projectors and digital, shadows and live soundtrack. He wanders by cities and festivals, from Montreal to Beijing. John is interested in another facet of the image by making short films including Change Over, Filmstripe and Gate, trilogy on the death of a cinema. LUX, a film installation, and Cap au Pire, a new performance cycle, are his latest works in circulation.
John Blouin is the new Commissioner of PHOS, a festival dedicated to the various spheres of today's image.
Finally, after a 12-year-old cinematic epic with the famous sculptor Armand Vaillancourt, John launches his feature-length documentary in the fall 2019 : Vaillancourt, it's beautiful
