Welcome to Belfort Elsa!

We are thrilled to announce the nomination of Elsa Charbit as the new artistic director of Entrevues!

Elsa Charbit studied History and Cinema before joining the French Directors Guild (SRF - Société des réalisateurs de films), a high place of defense of auteur cinema.

From 2005 to 2015, she worked alongside with Bernard Benoliel (former artistic director of Entrevues from 2001 to 2005), as a deputy director of the Cultural Actions departement of the Cinémathèque française.

At the end of 2014, the SRF offered her the artistic direction of the Brive film festival (dedicated to medium-length films), an important springboard for the new generation of filmmakers, which she developed and opened out to international films.

The awards list features films that take risks, both in form and perspective, embodied by a generation of filmmakers who explore the personal by confronting the political, often within fragile or unstable settings.
