Martin Benoist
Roles: Director
I got a university degree in documentary techniques and mediations, during which I wrote a research note on the place and the valorization of documentary cinema in libraries and carried out several internships, notably for the organization of the Documentary Film Month in Bordeaux and the Cinéma du Réel in Paris. I co-directed a first documentary film, then was selected to participate in the creation workshop Documentary Cinema and Research in Human Sciences. I prepared the writing of this film project in the Documentary Laboratory, a writing workshop run by Normandie Images and the University of Caen. Since 2016, I have been accompanying a group of teenagers who constitute the young jury of the Mediterranean Film Festival in Montpellier. I have also been a member of the editorial board of the magazine Illusio for more than ten years. In 2017, I created Le Révélateur with Alexandra Fleurantin, an association for image education.
