Olivier Magis

This short film, a mockumentary, uses the mad cow scandal as a pretext for an investigative narrative, in order to question the critical relationship between viewers and the media.

According to Muriel Andrin, Professor of Writing and Film Analysis at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, "Magis kidnaps television images in favour of another story, a fake documentary, a docu-fiction, following in the footsteps of Peter Watkins or William Karel, on the thin line where reality meets imagination.[1]".

Between 2005 and 2006, he worked as a director at Alterface Projects and wrote and directed films for the interactive educational game "Future Dome [2][3]" for the scientific center Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh.

In 2007, he assisted Nele Paxinou in the travelling troupe of the Baladins du Miroir, during the creation of the adaptation of Tristan and Iseult,[4] written by Paul Emond.

In 2011, he assists director Sofia Betz in the creation of the play "De la nécessité des grenouilles",[6] written by Virginie Thirion, at Atelier 210.
