Unifrance 10 Talents to Watch: Raphaël Quenard, Suzy Bemba, Souheila Yacoub Among Voices Shaping French Cinema


Unifrance put talent in the spotlight at the Rendez-Vous in Paris, presenting 10 actors and filmmakers to watch.

A TV standout with roles on Canal Plus’ “The Bureau” and Netflix’s “Lupin,” and a César nominee for his silent turn in Francois Ozon’s 2022 Berlin opener “Peter von Kant,” actor Stefan Crepon recently popped in Cedric Kahn’s film-biz dramedy “Making Of” before joining his first-ever U.S. production. The actor has already wrapped Delphine and Muriel Coulin’s “À la hauteur” – which co-stars Vincent Lindon and Benjamin Voisin and follows a working-class family torn up by far-right politics – and will next shoot Lucas Gloppe’s “Faire Feu,” which tracks the opposite direction to explore the lure of extreme-left anarchism. While Quenard and David spin their ongoing, mock-fiction project into wider forms throughout the next year, the actor will next appear in Gilles Lellouche’s sprawling romantic musical “Beating Hearts,” and alongside Léa Seydoux, Vincent Lindon and Louis Garrel in Quentin Dupieux’s next idiosyncratic opus “A notre beau métier” – which follows the tragicomic odyssey of a film extra.
