Agnès Jaoui soon to be new president of the Cinémathèque de Toulouse
It is an indiscretion that the institution would have preferred to keep silent, out of respect for the team in place, but it escaped the fingers of Georges Méric. The President of the Haute-Garonne departmental council tweeted on Monday about a cultural meeting to which Agnès Jaoui was invited, presented as the “new president of the Toulouse Cinémathèque”.
She succeeds Robert Guédiguian
The information is confirmed internally, although the director of the Taste of others and Like a picture will not be appointed until December 14, by the board of directors.
Agnès Jaoui will succeed another great name in French cinema. The filmmaker Robert Guédiguian has chaired the Toulouse Cinémathèque since June 2016. He himself had succeeded Martine Offroy at the time patron of the Gaumont Cinémathèque, and before her, the now defunct producer, Daniel Toscan du Plantier.
