Alain Chretien
France

I am a filmmaker since 1990. I started as a social youth leader in a photo and film departement of a "Foyer Rural". A few years later, I made my first films for the institutionnal sector. In 2002 I made my first documentaries "Passion Terre" for a french TV channel (France 3 Lorraine). They consisted of 10 films of 26 minutes each on the subject of ecology and environment with Jean Marie Pelt.
I followed a one-year writing workshop for documentary filmmakers in "La Fémis" Paris.
This last training course was a great experience. More especially, working together and sharing writing experiences with other filmmakers and tutors allowed me to develop new tools and renewed my approaches to my work.
Now I essentially make 52 minutes documentaries for different television channels. I also make short productions for the global media network.
