Patrice Raynal

After studying social science and musical composition, Patrice Raynal turned to creative documentary. His first film was made in Burkino Faso on a travelling cinema that was raising rural communities’ awareness of HIV/AIDS. After this experience, he resumed training at Créadoc in Angoulême and graduated from Bordeaux with a Master’s in documentary filmmaking. He co-founded the association Tourné Monté Films, which he ran for ten years, promoting documentaries and providing training on images.
