About
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.

Trailer Volontary Return Serie
This summer David Guersan directed 10 films Portraits of foreigners having been helped by the OFII : French Office for Immigration and Integration (attached to the Ministry of the Interior) for the socio-professional return in their country of origin. Today each of these people received a support by the OFII to bring to a successful conclusion their new life projects. Produced by Burgundi Prod, we went to meet them in their country. We followed each person for 2 days and transcribed in each of the films their new life and hope for the future. Created in 1945, OFII, French Office for Immigration and Integration is now the only French State’s operator in charge of immigration procedures (family, student and professional), the reception of asylum seekers, the integration of new arrivals and the voluntary return and reintegration of foreign nationals.
