Le Château des Artistes

If one were to consider the Cine Paris group that I founded and supervised from 1980 until 2001 with its repertory company for film and television along with its associated film school and combined it with the salon aspect of the weekly Elysée Wednesday gatherings that have been attracting professional artists of all sorts for almost three years now, it would come very close to being the precursor for something like Le Château des Artistes--an artists' community to be set in the south of France where visitors could experience the château life as guests, film students could live as residents while completing their studies and artists of all disciplines could instruct, learn and create. Add to this a film studio, a proprietary cable TV channel and an annual film festival and the definition is almost complete.
