Sunny Side of the Doc\u2019s Mathieu B\u00e9jot, who has been director of strategy and development for the market at Doc Services since January 2020, is departing, and Aur\u00e9lie Reman will take over his responsibilities.<\/p>\n
B\u00e9jot was brought on to ensure the continuity and excellence of the market after the passing of one of Sunny Side\u2019s co-founders in 2019. He is now moving on to a job with the French Embassy in India but has worked to ensure a smooth handover with Reman, the newly appointed managing director of Doc Services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish Mathieu B\u00e9jot the best of luck in his exciting new cultural mission at the French Embassy in India,\u201d Reman said. \u201cOver the past five years, Mathieu has worked with the team to infuse new energy into the market and open it to new horizons. Events, particularly online, such as the Global Pitch, have been created; the programming has been enriched with diverse perspectives from new territories and emerging narrative forms, always encouraging international co-production. These are assets that today serve the documentary community, which is dear to Mathieu and appreciates him in return.\u201d<\/p>\n
B\u00e9jot added, \u201cIt\u2019s been an incredibly exciting\u2014though challenging\u2014five years assisting Sunny Side of the Doc in a period of transition after Yves Jeanneau passed away and while the industry has been in turmoil. I would like to thank the international documentary community for their continued support and trust. It\u2019s been a privilege to serve you and to promote a genre which is essential in democracies. I\u2019m particularly proud to have contributed to making Sunny Side a more inclusive event and opening it to new voices. The time has come to walk the talk, and it\u2019s only natural that Sunny Side\u2019s face is no longer mine. I\u2019ve been working closely with Aur\u00e9lie Reman to ensure that Sunny Side of the Doc will adapt to a fast-changing and unpredictable environment. Aur\u00e9lie brings ten years of comprehensive experience at Sunny Side with the new fresh eyes of her recent appointment as the managing director of Doc Services. I know that she has the vision and the understanding to make the right decisions and write a successful new chapter for Sunny Side. Expect her and her team to deliver another stellar event in 2025!\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition, Sunny Side of the Doc has revealed it is setting up an international advisory committee composed of various industry professionals to bring its expertise and networks to fuel ongoing reflections on the market\u2019s evolution and enable Sunny Side to develop sustainably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
