Matthéo is an award-winning film director and screenwriter, having graduated from the London Film Academy with "First Class Honours" and garnered recognition for his films. Throughout his career, he has pursued the integration of cinema and journalism, consistently producing politically and socially engaged pieces that resonate with him, and audiences.
With a profound appreciation for the power of freedom of thought and expression in upholding democracy and fostering global unity, Matthéo remains a child of cinema. He recognizes the decline of journalistic integrity, influenced by commercial interests and overly rigid moral standards. In response, he has dedicated himself to crafting films that serve as pillars of historical accuracy, impartial perspectives, and human rights.
Matthéo embarked on a journey to Ukraine in June 2023, immersing himself in the midst of the counter-offensive. For over 20 days, he captured the lives of Ukrainian civilians, giving voice to their stories in a documentary of profound significance. This venture marked his initial foray into actively engaged documentary filmmaking, igniting a passion that promises further explorations in this genre.
Matthéo continues to draw inspiration from his experiences reporting on the war. These encounters have served as catalysts, driving him to create fictional narratives that are equally compelling and socially conscious. With resolute determination, Matthéo persistently endeavours to shed light on critical issues and provoke meaningful conversations through his cinematic artistry.
