Jakub Jahn
Jakub Jahn is a freelance cineaste, documentary filmmaker and visual artist based in Prague, Czech Republic. His main interest goes to documentaries exploring the universe of contemporary art and fashion, whilst the core of his work lays in short footage videos destined mainly to web publishing. Jakub’s stylistic language arises from the “fashion film” and the “dance for camera” movement. He has lately opened his genre targets to the thrilling possibilities of video installations and other nonstandard video art forms.
His recent major works include a feature documentary “REMINISCENCE: Tanec Praha” 1989 – 2013, produced for the Czech Television, a short documentary piece on the famous “Video Portraits” series by Robert Wilson, as well as a viral video campaign “Leoš Mareš: Každý krok začíná prvním krokem” for the prêt-à-porter brand Blažek. Jakub is presently working on a feature documentary based on his experience in the Watermill Center, a laboratory for arts founded by Robert Wilson, where all the new projects by the immense artist emerge. He is also currently elaborating an original form for a future fashion film for one of the leading Czech fashion designers Liběna Rochová, focusing on her collection inspired by the 3D objects by the Czecho-Slovak visual artist Milan Grygar.
Jakub is the founding member of CINÉASTE.
