Jacintho Muiños

BIOGRAPHIE

Jacintho is an independent filmmaker who splits his time between Montpellier, France and Naarm (Melbourne), Australia, which he recognises as the stolen land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the East Kulin Nation. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. Following his studies at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in 2013, Jacintho gone on to write, direct and produce several short films, music videos and other content with a focus on using the mundanity of ‘everyday’ experience to express broader existential and social themes. He was also a 2020 City of Melbourne Arts Grant recipient for his short film CONTAINER. Jacintho has also completed several non-commisioned photographic projects, including I’VE BEEN COMING HERE FOR YEARS, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH TRAFFIC NOWADAYS that enquired into the ageing centres of social and community importance and the people that frequent them within the rapidly developing inner-northern suburbs of Melbourne. In addition to his creative practice, he also teaches Video Art at the Melbourne Youth Justice Centre on a casual basis and is the Festival Director for the 2021 ReelGood Film Festival.
