Adrien Bellay

Adrien Bellay spent his childhood in the south of France where his parents ran a travelling cinema circuit, between a desire for militancy and education in the visual image. Camera in hand from an early age, it is the dialectic of editing that attracts him more particularly. He studied audio-visual techniques to discover the mechanisms of the process. In Paris, his career path led him to collaborate in the editing of reports for France Télévisions, Envoyé Spécial or Thalassa. Then, the desire to show more complexity prevails. He participates in documentary film projects for the cinema such as the recent Ceux qui voulaient guérir (2020). The transition from editing to filmmaking is made by necessity: in a world that is drifting, showing the ecological possibilities becomes essential. This is how the adventure of L'éveil de la permaculture was born. A film released in 2017, that the filmmaker brought to theaters to meet the public. In the wake of the previous film, a new documentary project dedicated to concrete alternatives is born: Low-Tech.
