Guillaume Tran is a documentary filmmaker, currently undertaking a Masters in Ethnography Documentary Filmmaking at the University College London.
Guillaume Tran sees documentary filmmaking as a vessel to emphasise the voices of the people whose stories are a testimony of our resilience, struggles, and passions, often critiquing society and the neo-liberalist capitalist system we all live under. Rejecting the objectifying definition of participants as subjects or characters, Guillaume uses documentary as a collaborative space where all the people involved can shape the form of the film. Looking at collaborative filmmaking, Guillaume questions the structure in which documentaries are produced, received and rethought. Moving away from documentaries a purely factual, Guillaume hope to push the boundary of more experimental filmmaking, both in form and in concepts.
Guillaume Tran has also worked on a global collaborative project with UCL Multimedia Anthropology Lab in partnership with the Guarani and Kiowa people of Mato Grosso Du Sul supported by the British Museum (EMKP) as the Video Team Leader and Director of Concepts and Aesthetics.
