artist bio -
Originally from Normandy in France, Jules Hamdadou first developed his visual language on a skateboard, camera in hand, filming his friends in the streets of Caen and Cherbourg. These self-taught experiments continue to shape his fascination with movement, rhythm, and characters deeply rooted in reality.

After graduating from 3iS Paris with a degree in Film Directing in 2018, he further honed his craft by working on television series and feature film sets, gaining a thorough understanding of the filmmaking process before embarking on his career as an independent director in 2021.

In 2022, he directed his first short film, The Calm of the Water (Le Calme de l’eau), produced by Slang Films, which went on to enjoy a successful festival run.

Today, Jules divides his time between artistic collaborations in the worlds of fashion and dance, directing content for digital creators, commercial filmmaking, and the development of several fiction projects.
