Jonathan Bougard

In 2014 he chaired the Teroronui Contemporary Creation Center in Papeete, an artist collective[4] with Chief Miko and Teva Victor.

Since 2015, he has devoted himself mainly to writing, directing and producing a large number of documentary films on significant French Polynesians.

In 2017, he created his own production house, In Vivo Prod, which allows him to freely choose his subjects: Semetua, the spirit of the mamaias, dedicated to the speaker Sem Manutahi,[6] choreographer Coco Hotahota whom he will follow in the United States for the film Coco Hotahota Temaeva,[7] the poet John Mairai and the troupe of Faa'a Nuna'a e Hau for Heiva the wrath of the gods.

[9] From 2021 he begins to film figures from the Polynesian community active in France, such as the dancer Leia Diard, but also in the United States.

Then he became interested in the school of the Congolese sculptor Muta Mayola and set out to find his works which were reputed to have disappeared.
