It is a great pleasure for me to be invited to the 13th edition of the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2014, and a huge honor to be a member of the Jury of this event. I really look forward to see new films, meeting new creators, and discovering for the first time the capital of this amazing country.

Born in 1974 in Annecy, he discovered animation thanks to the television. He then experimented with clay animation on camera 8mm. He began his film education in high-school and continued the studies at Lumière University Lyon 2. After refusing to do military service, he was employed at the film department of Annecy Festival. He is now responsible for data entry and archiving. He mainly serves, however, as a video-operator for selection committees. Thanks to this post, he is able to see over 1500 films each year since 1997. In 2012 he became a member of the selection committee at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
