Jonathan Millet
Jonathan Millet was born in Paris. After studying philosophy, he spent many years filming distant or inaccessible countries for image databases. Alone with his camera, he crossed and filmed around fifty countries (Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, all of South America, the Middle East, and the length and breadth of Africa).
Encouraged to go to the most remote regions, Millet learned to capture faces and spaces, to try to transcribe an atmosphere in a few shots.
After this experience, he directed three short films, OLD LOVE DESERT (2012), YOU GO ROUND IN CIRCLES IN THE NIGHT AND YOU ARE DEVOURED BY FIRE (2015), AND ALWAYS WE WILL WALK (2016) — which was nominated for the 2018 César Award — and a medium-length film, LA VEILLÉE (2017). These films were selected by numerous festivals such as Clermont-Ferrand, Pantin, and Brest.
He also directed the feature documentary CEUTA, SWEET PRISON, which was released in cinemas in January 2014 after more than 60 festival selections.
His latest film TELL ME ABOUT THE STARS (2017) was shot in Antarctica and nominated at the Docudays UA International Documentary Human Rights Film Festival.
