Discover Top Non-Fiction Film Directors in Paris, Ãle-de-france, France

I am a bilingual French English journalist who grew up in the Alps. I studied International Journalism at Cardiff University, where I graduated with a distinction. My main area of interest lies in geopolitics and human rights. I investigated the effects of religious nationalism in Armenia, questioning democratic processes and the roles played by the church in society and politics. I have shot and edited stories on refugees from Calais to Cardiff, but also covered cultural topics from sneaker trends to the art of graffiti. Former BMX-race athlete, I am a sport-addicted which led me to cover women and girls in sport and other punchy stories including on the business of Mixed Martial Arts. By nature, I am curious and adventurous, I like to observe new cultures and to learn from people. Having travelled in many countries, I have a multicultural and open-minded perspective of the world: I understand four languages. For me, journalism is a field of exploration and encounters. I like to listen, to feel, to perceive, to shoot pictures and to transcribe the experience by sharing these impressions through reporting. I am currently working for France24 for the French and the English channels. My reports have been published by InsideOver, Voice Of America, and Worldcrunch. I also used to work for several magazines and newspaper in France including L’Équipe, Courrier International and Le Dauphiné Libéré. I also used to be a reporter for the Paris-based Institute Open Diplomacy. As a young woman, I want to prove to my generation why journalism matters. I am convinced that understanding our environment requires a thorough study of the world. I believe journalism is a means of involvement and engagement. I want to share with society my passion for international news, and to convince others of its importance. Determination, tenacity and optimism drive my everyday life!

The Paris-based film maker David Guersan has been surrounded by photos and reports since his birth. Inspired by a father who made journalism his life; a creative character who traveled to the ends of the earth in search of fascinating stories. David has now become an award-winning, passionate filmmaker, producing work that has been seen around the world and presented by famous medias such as Business Insider, France TV, BBC, Vice, Aljazeera, and many others. Ten years ago, his first exhibition focused on the captivating stories of marginal Parisian characters, a steep learning curve that propelled him on the production path to become a filmmaker. Since then, David has never looked back. In constant search of authenticity and cultural immersion, he focuses on the production of reports and documentaries with a humanist approach. David’s unique experiences have shaped his journalistic journey, taking him on life-changing projects to the ends of the earth. The following follows the broadcast on France 3 of his first documentary, award-winning, on sled dog racing in January 2021 as well as a collaboration with the great reporter TF1 Christine Oberdorff for a documentary series, L'autre Voyage on Ushuaia TV, to give voice to environmental change-makers.
