How do you map the future of documentary in your company?


We will be continuing to work on exposing and showcasing documentaries on our channels and the France.tv platform, and continuing to revitalise our offering. We want to offer an even freer playing field, so that the creativity and audacity of our partners can flourish.

How might Sunny Side of the Doc have helped to change the course of your career or your professional achievements?


Sunny Side of the Doc is a great way to keep your finger on the pulse of the industry, meet people, and share ideas about documentary, a subject that is so rich and protean.

What do you see as the next developments and big trends in the documentary world?


The hybridisation of forms, of course, and the role of AI at every stage in the life of a project: it's all at once a risk, a fantasy and a reservoir of editorial opportunities.

As we celebrate our anniversary, what would you like to wish Sunny Side of the Doc for the next 35 years?


To keep up this magnificent energy for the next 35 years!
