As a student in audiovisual BTS at the Pierre Corneille high school in Rouen, I rediscovered the richness of the world of cinema quite late, making me interested in cinema and a probable future enthusiast. Being part of the festival jury is a pleasure for me but also a way to cultivate new knowledge in this field that brings us together.

Marie Leudet Je suis en 1ère année du BTS Audiovisuel en option Image au lycée Corneille à Rouen. Grâce à ce début d’étude, j’ai eu la chance de participer à différents courts métrages en tant qu'électro et graphiste en dehors du BTS. Cela m’a permis de voir toutes les étapes de création d’un film, en allant du script au tournage jusqu’au montage. Cette expérience autant que jury me permettra d’enrichir ma culture cinématographique mais aussi mon sens critique d’observation et d’analyse.

An architect and boilermaker by training, it was first within a street theater company "Le cercle de litote" directed by Luc Perrot that Stéphane Landais discovered and launched into creation. The encounter between sculpture, architecture and theater will determine his artistic and professional career. After 15 years of theater creation, touring and residencies in France and abroad, he registered as an independent scenographer in 2012. He mainly focuses his work on the scenography of events and exhibitions and confronts museography, galleries, atypical places and public spaces. Indeed, since his theatrical experiments in the street, his studies of architecture which lead him to reflect on urban space, it is the presentation of art where we do not expect it that drives him. There is genius in each place, whether interior or exterior, it is a question of revealing it. Based in Normandy, co-founder and artistic director of La Karavan Pass and the Un Monde Flottant project, administrator of the Maison de l’architecture de Normandie, he now collaborates with visual artists, photographers, directors, museographers, graphic designers on various projects. Requested by local or territorial authorities, he has been reconnecting with architecture for several years by collaborating on architectural design and rehabilitation projects.
