Cosmopolite

Fabien Écochard made this film to accompany the release of his first photography book: "Cosmopolite." A beautiful book that reveals, page by page, the lesser-represented sides of Paris. Far from the glamorous postcards made for tourists, Fabien’s debut collection, captures the everyday reality of Paris. Through his lens, Paris presents itself as a vibrant, universal city, in a word, cosmopolitan. Whether as a photographer or filmmaker, Fabien makes people the central subject of his work. This sensitivity, combined with a poetic quest for representation, leads him to choose projects that reveal the strength of human connections: both among individuals and with their environment. Influenced by the pioneers of colour street photography and enriched by cinematic references, his approach is deeply humanistic. The film reflects this energy, supported by a particularly polished aesthetic. Fabien explores Paris, capturing everyday scenes, unexpected snapshots and unpredictable encounters, all the while highlighting the capital's natural beauty. The film offers a modern, authentic perspective on the City of Light, conveying its essence through Fabien Écochard's unique point of view.
