In the programme
Nouvelle Vague 2.0 - French AI Scene Showcase
A showcase of the French AI scene: creators and specialists present their work, one company gives a demo, and then the room asks questions. The French market is building its own language and its own institutions around generative production, so this is a chance to see a different approach to the same tools, in a country where cinema holds a different position and different funding than here.
- Creator and specialist introductions
- A company demo from the French scene
- Audience questions
Who's on stage
Caroline Thireau
Creative Technologist · Educator
Creative technologist and workflow designer who builds creative processes end to end: video pipelines and content factories on node-based systems. Since 2023 she has been testing and documenting emerging generative AI tools in newsletters, magazine articles, interviews, livestreams and hackathons, in France and abroad. She works as a beta tester and creative partner with leading AI platforms, and represents the French creative AI scene internationally, bringing back to it what she learns on the way.
Sylvain Perret
Creative Technologist · Founder
A creative technologist and brand architect with over twenty-five years across the US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. He co-founded one of Geneva's first digital agencies, working for Tag Heuer and Ray-Ban, and founded TakeHollywood, a Los Angeles rich-media platform that produced over 150 hours of original programming with Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall and Robin Wright. Today he runs BakingSoda in Dubai, building AI-native brand and growth systems for the Gulf market.
Marc Horgues
Creative Director · Founder
Co-founder and creative director of OKCC, a creative and innovation agency in Paris. He runs AI strategy and generative content production for global brands, among them Louis Vuitton, L'Oréal, Chanel, Hennessy, Meta and Google. OKCC was selected for the LVMH Innovation Award and picked to represent France in the French delegation at SXSW 2026, and has collected a run of awards over the past five years. His subject is the part nobody photographs: how a generative pipeline survives a client, a deadline and a brand book.
Monsieur Moyen
Director · Filmmaker
Film director based in Paris. He came out of traditional filmmaking and today works exclusively as an AI director, testing what new visual narratives hold up, across open-source and proprietary tools alike. He is represented by the Bangger agency and belongs to the French collective Prompt Club, which has recently run Paris events around Kling and Dreamina. He is one of those directors for whom the change of tool did not mean a change of craft: the same question about the shot, asked to a different machine.
