Andréanne Martin

An artist and filmmaker with a degree in visual and media arts and a master’s degree in experimental media (UQAM), Andréanne Martin explores the intersection between auteur documentary and visual art. She directed Chloé Virgule (2019), Beijing (2020), and Horizon (2021), which have been screened at international festivals. She is currently finalizing Le journal du polyamour and is co-directing her first feature film, En voiture Simone! (CALQ, CAC, Odyssart). A hitchhiking investigation from Montreal to Paris, via a transatlantic cargo ship, exploring male resistance to full and real gender equality. In collaboration with Dare-Dare, Andréanne also created Les seins balants, je m’en vais au vent (Breasts Swinging, I’m Going to the Wind), a drifting artist’s book that explores the subversiveness of off-the-grid life from a feminist and geopoetic perspective.

At the heart of her approach, wandering is both a theme and a method, where the camera, tape recorder, and logbook act as catalysts for chance encounters and open windows onto social microcosms. The journal, a traveling companion and creative matrix, takes the form of a filmed diary, an artist’s book, and other imaginable forms. Through her fieldwork, Andréanne explores other ways of inhabiting the world, and allows herself to drift through encounters and intuition, weaving works from fragments, traces, and recompositions.

With a media arts practice based on video and sound art, Andréanne has been a member of Ada X since 2023 and has experience in documentary filmmaking, video and sound editing, camerawork, sound recording, and video mapping. She has also participated in the Audio Creation 101 and Video Mapping: Videographic Integration in 3D Space professional training workshops.
