About
Nicolas Panay
In 2016, Nicolas Panay co-founded Court en Scène, the Troyes international short film festival, of which he was director and programmer for six editions. In 2022, he directed his first short film, Le Point de reprise, a powerful, topical social drama about textile factory workers confronted with the pernicious mechanisms of our globalised economy and the intractable moral dilemmas it entails. After its world premiere in Clermont-Ferrand, the film has now been selected for some fifty festivals. It has won a number of awards, including the Unifrance Best Actress prize at Cannes for Laurence Côte, and has been shortlisted for the 2024 Oscars. With Apneas, Nicolas has created a social thriller and reaffirmed the radical humanity of his point of view, placing his camera at the level of destiny without missing any of the complexity of his subject.
