Director Paul Vincent de Lestrade

After a degree in cinema and audiovisual studies at the Sorbonne, in parallel with which he worked as a film critic for various university media, Paul Vincent de Lestrade entered INSAS in the directing section. The common thread of his documentaries and fiction films is a series of portraits that question the violence to which we sometimes subject ourselves on a daily basis and the choice we are given to let it happen or to do something else with it.
