Solène Anson
Coordinator
A graduate of an international information-communication license and holder of a Master 1 Cinema-Audiovisual, I am from Bourg-en-Bresse and I live in Paris for two years. Currently a journalist for Canal+ in parallel with my studies, I discovered cinema during my exchange year in Canada. After an audiovisual training around the scenarios, the story-board or in direction, I made a documentary “Derrière les Frontières”, awarded at the Polidoc competition. From now on, I live my passion to the full with humility, dedication, creativity and patience.
Charelle Abdallah
Programmer
Cinema isn’t only for entertainment, it is a major educational tool and if used right, it could enhance an entire society. This is why the Fantasy Film Festival in Paris encourages artists to express themselves fearlessly, through their art. I hope the Fantasy Film Festival in Paris community will expand to a vast platform of independent, talented and humble artists, serving one another and Art.
