Professional Trajectory

Joseph Morder is one of the most prolific filmmakers in France. He started filming in 1967 after receiving his first Super 8 camera—a little Instamatic—for his eighteenth birthday, only two years after its release by Eastman Kodak. Since this time, Morder has made over 900 films. The majority has been shot on amateur formats, such as Super 8, 8mm or, more recently, on video and with a camera phone. Morder has also made films in professional formats: in 16mm (originally an alternative for amateur filmmakers but by then a professional format), and last, but not least, on 35mm.
