Selected for the 2021 Emerging Producers, French producer
Quentin Laurent, of Les Films de lâÅil sauvage, explains what drives him to making documentaries, and how he is dealing with it through the current situation.
Why do you produce documentaries? Do you understand documentary film as an instrument of social and political change?
Quentin Laurent: Since childhood, I have nourished the vain and naive desire to discover the vast world. I studied human geography at university for five years and made a few research documentaries in sub-Saharan Africa. Geography literally means describe the earth , which also seems to be an acceptable definition of documentary cinema to me. This natural filiation in which my curiosity can blossom explains probably a bit why I do this job.
