Bertrand Faivre
Producer
France
In 1992, after a stint as head of acquisitions at UGC DA in France, Bertrand Faivre joined Les Productions Lazennec (Hate, The Scent of Green Papaya). From 1993 to 2002, he produced twenty or so French short films and a dozen European titles, a dozen of which were selected at Clermont-Ferrand, where they also brought home awards. He began producing feature films in 1996 with Jacques Deschamps’ Still Water Runs Deep.
In 2000, he founded the independent British production company The Bureau and, a year later, Le Bureau, in France. Since then, he’s alternated French and English productions with numerous well-known filmmakers whose careers he launched and who have also been part of the Festival: Asif Kapadia, Fabienne Godet, Sarah Gavron and Lynne Ramsay, for example. Working with established filmmakers such as Roger Michell, Erick Zonca, Rachid Bouchareb and Costa-Gavras over the years, his eclectic tastes have also led him across the globe to produce multi-award-winning films as diverse as Isolation by Billy O'Brien, Christian Carion’s Farewell, Late Bloomers by Julie Gavras,Fabienne Berthaud’s Lily Sometimes and Sky, Alan Rickman’s A Little Chaos, Sex Doll by Sylvie Verheyde and Oliver Peyon’s Une vie ailleurs [A Life Elsewhere]. 2017 marked his first collaboration with Jean Libon and Yves Hinant, co-creator and regular director, respectively, of several of the documentaries for the show Strip-tease: the documentary So Help Me God, released in 2018. His most recent production, David Dufresne’s documentary The Monopoly of Violence, was one of 2020’s biggest successes, despite COVID-19.
Under Vincent Gadelle’s leadership, through The Bureau Sales, Le Bureau and The Bureau have been developed to represent one of the foremost catalogues of television rights in France (with nearly 1,200 titles), in addition to a company for international sales dedicated to films that are produced or co-produced internally, paired with a huge catalogue of arthouse films.
Bertrand Faivre won the Georges de Beauregard award for best short film producer in 1996 and was made a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 1999.

Pierre-Dominique Burgaud
Lyricist, director, music producer, autor

Former advertising designer, Pierre-Dominique Burgaud switched to songwriting in 2002 by writing the lyrics to the musical feature Filles perdues, cheveux gras by Claude Duty. In 2006, he wrote Le Soldat Rose, composed by Louis Chedid, which was awarded the Victoire de la musique for Best Album. He wrote a sequel to this musical tale in 2013, composed by Francis Cabrel, then a prequel in 2017, composed by Alain Souchon, Pierre Souchon and Ours. Faithful to Alain Chamfort since his years of advertising (he designed in 2005 the music video for the song “Les beaux yeux de Laure”, which was also awarded a Victoire de la musique), Pierre-Dominique shared the adventure with the composer Chamfort in 2010’s Une vie Saint Laurent, a concept album around the life of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Le désordre des choses, the singer's latest album, released in 2017.
During this period, he also wrote for Gaëtan Roussel, Johnny Hallyday, Patricia Kaas, Laurent Voulzy, Dani, Stacey Kent, Renan Luce and Maurane.

Foued Mansour
Director, screenwriter
France
After a two-year diploma in history and geography, Foued Mansour briefly went to film school, but soon preferred to confront the practical reality of filming.
He directed Yvan le prévisible in 2005, a satire on marriage. Following a meeting with a welfare advisor, he wrote La raison de l’autre, a short film that deals with the questioning of a social worker faced with someone on the dole. With the help of the Picardy Regional Council, it was filmed in Creil, in the real place where welfare offices are located. The film would ultimately be nominated for the César in 2010.
With Un homme debout, a short film from 2011, he tackles the theme of personal growth and the right to a second chance. The film won the Beaumarchais Prize for Screenplay at the Brest Festival, before being shortlisted for the César for Best Short Film in 2012.
The following year, he directed a new short La dernière caravane, a social western shot in black and white which was presented at the Clermont-Ferrand, New York and Los Angeles festivals, then won the Beaumarchais prize for screenplay at the Cinemed festival in Montpellier. The film was then selected for the César for best short film in 2014.
In 2019, his new film, Le chant d’Ahmed, received the 2019 Unifrance Grand Prize before being nominated for the 2020 César. A social reality filmmaker, Foued is currently writing his first feature film.

Lab Jury
Jeanne Added

Jeanne Added
Singer, songwriter, performer, producer
France
Jeanne Added was born in Reims in 1980. After graduating from the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris in 2005, she first performed for many jazz musicians, a style in which she excelled. At that time, she wrote her first compositions and in 2011, she was invited by the group The Dø to be the opening act on their autumn tour, which led to her signing with Naïve records in 2014. It was there that she finished recording her first album, produced by Dan Levy of The Dø, Be Sensational, which released on June 1, 2015.
After this release, her talent was quickly revealed and the artist continued her ascent with more than 200 concerts across France and the release of a second album Radiate in 2018. Today certified gold, this album made her a festival headliner, winning a double award at the 2019 Victoires de la musique in the categories Female artist and Rock Album.
Two years after Radiate her second album, she unveiled her EP Air on July 7, 2020. A parallel object, speaking from the edge, instinctive and spontaneous. Conceived alongside her past and future albums, Air experiments and shares her questions, like a breath, and it is also a half hour of music put to images by the photographer and director Julien Mignot (see Decibels! programme).
ALBUMS
2015: Be Sensational

Juanita Onzaga
Director, cinematographer, visual artist
Colombia, Belgium
Born in 1991), Juanita Onzaga is a Colombian filmmaker and visual artist based in Brussels since 2010.
In 2015, her obsession with movement took her to explore the hybrid creation between dance, fiction and non-fiction, directing her first short film Skin of The Other and the dance film Here/Nowhere which both travelled to various dance film festivals.
Her next short film The Jungle Knows You Better Than You Do, set in Colombia, was premiered at the Berlinale Generation 2017 where it won the jury prize for best short film; the film was selected at San Sebastian, Cartagena, Busan and more than 40 festivals, obtaining multiple awards around the globe.
In 2018, her third short film Our Song to War premiered at the Quinzaine des réalisateurs at Cannes Film Festival and was selected in more than 80 international festivals as Clermont-Ferrand, IDFA, FNC, DokLeipzig, Biarritz, as well as being longlisted for the Oscars, nominated for L’Œil d’or at Cannes and winning multiple prizes.
In her work, Juanita combines fiction and non-fiction elements, touching the importance of memory, death and imagination, creating poetic tales that reflect different ways of perceiving reality within a strong political context. Her storytelling creates, within realism, an intimate quest for mysticism, where the invisible complements and gives more answers and meanings to the physical world.
She builds a body of work which keeps on exploring the crossroads between cinema, poetry, technology, dance, mysticism and visual arts in cinematic projects developed between Colombia, Europe and Mexico.
Currently she is working in several projects, writing her first fiction feature film The Landscapes That You Seek, supported by Hubert Bals Bright Future, in pre-production of an immersive VR-experience and as well shooting a feature documentary.

Christine Ott

Christine Ott
Musician, composer, musical arranger
France
Christine Ott is a multi-talented artist. Composer, pianist and multi-instrumentalist combining sensitivity, virtuosity and delicacy, Christine Ott is also known for being a virtuoso of the Martenot waves, one of the first electronic instruments. She performs in festivals and famous operas, interpreting the major works of the repertoire (Messiaen, Honegger, Varèse ...), and she also tours with Yann Tiersen, or alongside Radiohead, Syd Matters, Cascadeur or Oiseaux-Tempête. She has already released three remarkable solo albums which are part of an aesthetic between contemporary classical and electronic music. Her music, powerful and intense, always has a unique cinematic dimension. It is not surprising that she has performed in film concerts and composed film music. Stuart Staples of the Tindersticks brought her in to collaborate on the films of Claire Denis and also in 2016 on the creation of Minute Bodies. She scored the film La fin du silence by Roland Edzard, selected for the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes in 2011, and recently with her side project Snowdrops was the fusion soundtrack for the first film by Phuttiphong Aroonpheng Manta Ray, which won an award in 2018 at the Venice Film Festival (Best Film, Horizons Section).
