Micha Dahan, b. 1971,
Based in Toronro, Ontario, Canada
I make moving images.
I have been fortunate enough to film in a variety of environments around the world on projects ranging from documentaries
to scripted dramas; from commercials to
music videos and experimental films.
Formally educated at Toronto’s Ryerson Polytechnic University, I spent several years as a camera and lighting technician. This experience has allowed me to effectively translate ideas to screen.
As well as shooting, I also direct music videos
and make other kinds of visual art,
including photography, live visuals, and
interactive installations.
Sometimes I invent new rigs and techniques.
Among them are the Dynamic Rig (360° spinning camera rig), The Theremin Controlled Cymatic Display and The Analog Interactive
Video-Feedback Generator.
"It is good to come together for the purpose
of co-creating..."
