Jean-Bastien Niyigaruye, originally from Burundi, lives in Montreal. Working mainly in the visual arts, he recently embarked on the adventure of cinema as a director and scriptwriter. For him, cinema is a continuation of his interest in drawing, painting and sculpture. As in these other media, Jean-Bastien seeks to construct and deconstruct image to create a free space for language and, ideally, to bring us closer to one another.
