Biography
Jordan Diow, former high-tech entrepreneur (Lithium Espace Mobiles), president of the artistic association 16/9 Productions, is a French actor-director-producer, singer-songwriter, performer, art director, visual artist and poet/novelist born in Besançon, Doubs, and living in L'Isle-Adam, Val d'Oise, Ile-de-France.
" Originally from Franche-Comté, a land of snow and harshness, I went to school in Besançon, a historic city shrouded in the halo of Victor Hugo and the Lumière brothers. I grew up admiring the works of Gustave Courbet and the Master Watchmakers who made the city famous throughout Europe. After graduating with a literary baccalaureate, followed by a wandering year in economics, I studied film technology at the CLCF (Free Conservatory of French Cinema), which awarded me a BTS, then its more volatile data, history(s) and theory(s), at the University of Paris-VIII. I soon discovered other artistic disciplines, learning them on my own, particularly the visual arts during the two years I spent as a salesman for Graphigro, and as a seasoned traveler, nourished by a long stay in India, I then set out to trace a personal creative line through the enclaves of a video-production nourished by multiple graphic, photographic, musical & literary experiences. I call this particular path the 'encyclopedic temptation'. "
