We value working with Jean-Louis Rodrigue for several reasons: his versatility and broad experience; his very pleasant, constructive, and content-driven approach to working with talented young people, encouraging and reassuring them throughout the training process; and his strong ability to build bridges between people from very different socio-cultural and professional backgrounds within an amazingly short time.

Jean-Louis’ continuous fresh ideas, his flexibility and openness to find new formats, and his generosity in sharing his experience are all ‘part of the package’ and make him an important mentor and one of the key contributors to our annual programme at the Berlin International Film Festival.
