A message to the directors and screenwriters
  • Julien Moreau
    Founder & Art Director
    Dear directors and screenwriters,
    On behalf of the entire Cinema Royale: Paris Edition team, let me say: you are the heart and soul of our festival.
    You are the ones who take risks, dream and create worlds that can change the perception of reality. Your stories are not just scripts and stills, they are the breath of time, the mirror of society and the voice of the human soul.
    Let each of your films be more than just seen and heard. Let your words touch those who stopped listening a long time ago. Let your ideas remain in the hearts of the audience for a long time after the end credits.
    You have the courage to choose the topics. Honesty is in their embodiment. And the belief that art is still capable of changing the world.

    With gratitude and deep respect,
    Julien Moreau
    Founder & Art Director of Cinema Royale: Paris Edition
