Jard Lerebours (He/They) is a New York based Queer-Black magician in the tradition of Djibril Diop Mambéty. His practice straddles the worlds of cinema and video art.

He is an active member of the Meerkat Media Artist Collective, Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective and Millenium Film Workshop Collective. As a film programmer, Jard champions genre defying and experimental work by Black filmmakers. Jard’s work has been showcased internationally at BAM, DCTV, Maysles Documentary Center, Third Horizon Film Festival, Indie Memphis Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival, London Short Film Festival, Black Harvest Film Festival, Uppsala Short Film Festival and Film Diary NYC. They are currently in development for One For My Baby, a Romantic Comedy based around a fictional James Baldwin look-alike competition.
