The professional Jury

Arnaud Demuynck

_

After producing thirty or so short fiction films and writing several original scripts between 1991 and 2000, Arnaud Demuynck made his directorial debut in 2000. He soon decided to become a full-time animation filmmaker: his animated “danced trilogy” Signs of Life (Signes de vie, 2004) was selected in over a hundred festivals, including Cannes, and was awarded the Best Animation Film prize at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in 2005. He then made The Shadow of the Veil (À l’ombre du voile, 2006), nominated for the 2007 Cartoon d’Or Awards, and Breakout (L’Évasion, 2007), which ranked among the five finalists for the 2008 Cartoon d’Or Awards. He is now pursuing his career as a short film producer and filmmaker, for which he received the Procirep Award for Best Producer at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in 2008. Throughout its existence, the Plein la Bobine festival has screened many films that were made possible thanks to Arnaud Demuynck.

Assia Graoui

Marketing assistant for the “Traces de Vies” documentary festival(She will always be 12…) Since I was a child, I have always had a passion for history and all stories really, especially stories of imaginative worlds, so I spent a long time at uni trying to figure out what my own personal story would be like. As an amateur actress, I then used my lack of skills in different jobs in the world of theatre and arts – the book fair in Montreuil, the red and gold curtains of the Odeon Theatre, all kinds of festivals, the most magical of all being the Haut-Allier Poetry Festival –, setting up gear, laying out cables, operating the spotlight in all kinds of places, answering the phone to poetry buffs or questions from creative madcaps, catering for the troops… Until I came back to the Auvergne when I realised my interest in connecting imagination and reality with my experience of the “Traces de Vies” festival, as a festival-goer at first, then as a member of the selection committee. I have been involved with “Traces de Vies” since 2001 and I also do marketing work for the ITSRA organisation (Institut de Travail Social de la Région Auvergne, the Institute for Social Work in the Auvergne Region) which manages the festival.
