A first vertical projection of Duanju in France.

On November 23, 2024, the Studio Phocéen association organized the very first vertical projection in France at the Gouttes Cave Tattoo bistro in Montmartre, inspired by the Duanju format. This short and dynamic format, designed for phones, was presented to the Parisian public through several original mini-series, offering more French proposals for this type of content.

The evening, hosted by Maëlle Billant , brought together around 70 spectators in a warm atmosphere. Fictions written and produced by Guillaume Sanjorge , directed by Jérémy Haeffele and Camille Bertin , were unveiled, followed by a discussion between the public and the artistic teams.

The presence of renowned actors and actresses helped to give credibility to the event. Among them was Jean-Louis Barcelona , whose prolific filmography includes notable appearances in OSS 117 , Radiostars , Les Profs and Asterix and Obelix . Magali Semetys , who rose to fame in Les Mystères de l'Amour , and Sylvain Binetti , who was appreciated for his French song concerts at the Petit Café de Montmartre, were also present. The cast also included Svetlana Sfera , a Ukrainian model now active in fiction, as well as actresses Chloé Borivage , Ambre Baffali , Ana Capella , and Guillaume Sanjorge .

They shared their filming experiences and interacted freely with the audience.

The evening began with a talk by Jean-François Fonlupt , producer of internationally iconic films ( The Piano , Underground ) and former director of Ciby 2000, famous for winning four Palmes d'Or in the 1990s. A figure in both international and popular auteur cinema, he represented the transition from the big screen to short formats that evening.
