Alexandre Castagnetti
Alexandre Castagnetti made his first short films while still in secondary school and developed a passion for music and cinema throughout his studies. After graduating from ENST in 1999, he chose a career in film and directed his first feature, L’Incruste, with his friend Corentin Julius in 2003, produced by Christian Fechner. He went on to write and direct both feature films and television series. His film credits include the romantic comedies Amour et Turbulences, Tamara and Tamara Vol. 2, L’École est à nous, as well as the fantasy comedies Le Grimoire d’Arkandias and La Colle. His latest feature is a new adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. For television, he has directed the series Les Invincibles for Arte and Mixte for Amazon Prime Video, as well as the television films Itinéraire d’une maman braqueuse, Inès et Yvan and On va marcher sur la Lune. Alongside his filmmaking career, he developed the musical comedy group La Chanson du Dimanche, which achieved major success online between 2007 and 2012. The project led to several concert tours and two seasons of the musical comedy series La Chanson du Dimanche, la série, broadcast on Canal+ (Comédie !).
Ludovic Deblois
Ludovic Deblois began his literary career in 2020 with the publication of his first novel, Les licornes aussi renaissent de leurs cendres…, inspired by his experience as an entrepreneur in the technology sector. He is also the author of Inversion (2022), which received a Lions Club literary award in 2024. Following two years of discussions with ethologists, meteorologists and neuroscientists, he published Il suffit parfois d’un cri…, an ecological thriller in which several characters pursue parallel investigations into strange animal behaviour. His novels take shape through research and interviews with scientists and experts across fields as varied as the worlds he imagines. He also draws inspiration from his extensive travels around the world, enriched by both his professional and personal experiences. He is the author of the essay Autonomie(s) (2021), in which he outlines a vision of the future founded on the notion of autonomy, both individual and collective. Alongside his writing, Ludovic Deblois produces podcasts and writes foresight studies and commentaries.
