JAN LOCUS

Jan Locus works across experimental film and photography, focusing on landscape as a slow, enduring presence, an instrument of cultural forces, and a central tool in the construction of national and social identities. His work examines how histories of land and belonging intersect, while addressing the ways landscapes are shaped by processes of extraction and industrialization.

His films have been shown at IFFR, Rotterdam (NL), Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin (FR/DE), Le FIFA, Montréal (CA), CROSSROADS, San Francisco (US), Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen (DE), Asolo Art Film Festival (IT), ONION CITY, Chicago (US), BISFF, Beijing (CN), DIGERATI, Denver (US), ANTIMATTER, Victoria (CA), FLIGHT, Genova (IT), PROYECTOR, Madrid (ES), Stuttgarter Filmwinter (DE), Swedenborg Film Festival, London (UK), Festival ECRÃ, Rio de Janeiro (BR), ARKIPEL, Jakarta (ID), Revolutions Per Minute, Boston (US) and DOBRA, Rio de Janeiro (BR) among others.
