Thibaut Ras
Director
“I like to film the spontaneity of the moment, what happens here and now. The improvisation of a body in movement, the camera as a tool to explore and capture. Like a pas de deux between the filmer and the dancer. Searching for new ways of filming dance and transmitting all its sensations. Transmit and share the love of movement with as many people as possible. To question the world around us. To dance.
Musician, sound engineer, stage manager, then creator of a production and musical publishing structure, his career is rich in varied experience. The production of video clips gradually led him to open up to other formats, such as documentaries. He worked on several short films as a cinematographer, editor and even composer.
Self-taught, he masters the techniques of shooting, editing, lighting and directing. This wide-ranging knowledge gives him the autonomy he needs for greater directorial freedom. From music videos to documentaries and fiction, his work is sincere, beautiful and contemporary.
Since 2012, it has focused on dance. AllWeCanDoIsDance began in France in Lyon, then developed in Lille, Paris, Switzerland, and took on a European perspective in 2015 when Marie Pons joined the team as the project’s production and development manager. The series then developed through the Dancing Cities project, where the team traveled successively to Brussels, London, Luxembourg and Budapest to make a medium-length film in each city in addition to a series of short films. Over 150 episodes of the AllWeCanDo series have been produced, along with six short and medium-length films.
Since 2023, he has collaborated with choreographer Massimo Fusco to create the films OASIS BODIES.
