International jury 2024

Throughout a body of work that includes 78/52 (Sundance 2017), MEMORY: The Origins of Alien (Sundance 2019), LEAP OF FAITH: William Friedkin on The Exorcist (Venice 2019, Sundance 2020), and LYNCH/OZ (Tribeca 2022). Alexandre O. Philippe’s films take on the role of unpacking the most influential works of master filmmakers, and dissecting seminal screen moments. Most recently, YOU CAN CALL ME BILL, an intimate portrait of William Shatner (SXSW 2023), was widely released in theaters in North America; and his latest, CHAIN REACTIONS (commissioned to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), is set to premiere at the 81st Venice Film Festival. Alexandre is currently working on a docu-portrait of Hollywood icon Kim Novak, and slated to film another documentary with William Shatner and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson in Antarctica in December 2024.
