Jean-Paul Salomé, a multifaceted French creative force, emerged onto the scene in 1960, marking the beginning of a storied career that would span decades.
His journey into the world of cinema commenced with a rigorous education at the Sorbonne Censier, where he honed his craft and laid the foundation for his future endeavors.
As a fledgling professional, Salomé found himself working as an assistant in film production, lending his expertise to the 1981 film "Les Uns et les Autres" under the visionary direction of Claude Lelouch.
This valuable experience served as a springboard for Salomé, prompting him to create two documentary short films that showcased his unique perspective and skill: "L'Heure d'aimer" in 1983 and "La petite Commission" in 1984.
Fast-forward to 1991, and Salomé made his television feature film debut with "Crimes et jardins," a testament to his versatility as a writer and director, as he penned the screenplay himself.
Salomé went on to direct a succession of feature films, with a notable highlight being the 2008 release of "Les Femmes de l'ombre", a cinematic endeavour that showcased the talents of the renowned French actress Sophie Marceau.
Furthermore, in addition to his esteemed work in the film industry, Salomé has also assumed a leadership role within the French film industry, a position that has allowed him to wield significant influence and authority.
In a significant milestone, Salomé was elected as the president of UniFrance Films in January 2013, a testament to his reputation and standing within the industry.
