  • Asa Mader is an American film director, screenwriter and visual artist. He studied cinema and new technologies at Brown University and New York University and was awarded the Roberta Joslin Award for Excellence in Art with one of his first Super 8mm films. His first narrative film La Maladie de La Mort, based on the homonymous novel by Marguerite Duras and starring Anna Mouglalis, was part of the official selection of the Venice Film Festival among others: Locarno Film Festival, “Premiers Plans” in Angers, Cannes Film Festival (Short Film Corner), International Film Festival of Kerala and the Festival “Entrevues” of Belfort. In 2004, Asa Mader created his first stage direction "HEROINE" starring Anna Mouglalis, a theatrical installation/performance combining film projections and the texts of Ovid and Marguerite Yourcenar, along with text messages (SMS), all written proclamations of love, waiting and the anguish of love at a distance. "HEROINE" premiered at the Festival of Ortigia in Siracusa, Sicily. In 2005, Asa directed two films for French TV. "Little Italy: Wiseguys, Bullets, Backrooms" is a docu-fiction based on the Soundwalk (audio tours) of the mythic mafia neighborhood of New York. "Pigalle" starring Lou Doillon is the first of a series of five films commissioned by Paris Première, in which a young actress takes you into the heart of her neighborhood, in this case the red-light district of Paris. Asa Mader has co-written several of the Soundwalk (audio tours), including the official "Da Vinci Code" tour of the Louvre with Jean Reno. He is also the narrator of the DUMBO Soundwalk (audio tours). In 2006, Asa Mader presented three large-format film and video installations shot in Bombay and commissioned by Lille3000 in the exhibition entitled “Bombay: Maximum City. ” Additionally, Asa presented a diptych of “film portraits” on the writers Suketu Mehta (Pulitzer Prize Nominee) and Pavan Varma (author of “Being Indian”) in the same exhibition. Asa Mader presented several film works at Le Laboratoire in Paris in a joint exhibit with acclaimed photographer and preeminent photojournalist James Nachtwey, subject of the Academy Award-nominated documentary “War Photographer”. Founded in November 2007 and located in the heart of Paris, near the Louvre and Palais-Royal, Le Laboratoire is a new venue for creation bringing together artists and scientists. The exhibit entitled “Combat pour la vie / Struggle for Life” consists of a series of original photographs bearing witness to James Nachtwey’s work in Siberia, Asia and Africa, and to initiatives in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. Asa created film portraits of four of the leading medical scientists in this field as well as an installation/portrait of the photographer James Nachtwey. Asa Mader directed the music video "Violet Hill," the first single of Coldplay's new album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. " The music video was nominated for Best UK Video and Best Special Effects in a Video at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Asa Mader is currently working in collaboration with choreographer Benjamin Millepied on a dance (and film) piece entitled "Years Later," commissioned and performed by Mikhail Baryshnikov. The piece will be previewed on April 14, 2009 at the Baryshnikov Arts Center's Spring Gala in New York and will premiere in Riga, Latvia on May 2, 2009.
