PERSEPOLIS

Vincent Paronnaud a.k.a. Winschluss (1970) has been making his own single trajectory for the last 25 years. Self-taught and all-rounder, from local French fanzines to Parisian galleries via the Oscars ceremony, he explores sectors and combines the extremes, mixing joy and cynicism, the crazy and the coherent, popular and underground. Since 2003, he has made over six short and medium-length films in both live-action and animation. But it’s mostly two feature-length films co-authored with Marjade Sartrapi – Persepolis and Plum Chicken (Poulet aux prunes) – that will make him popular in the movie sector. In 2013, he shot Territory (Territoire), a western in the Pyrenees, set in the sixties, in which we witness the birth of a lonely hero in a pastoral background. Since 2009, he has been represented by the galerie GeorgesPhilippe &Nathalie Vallois in Paris, exposing his original drawings and sculptures. He lives and works in between Bordeaux and Paris.
