Biography

edit

Delbosc formerly co-managed the company Fidélité Productions with Marc Missonnier, who he met while attending the prestigious Paris film school La Fémis (graduated 1996). Delbosc and Missonnier got their start in the 1990s producing the short films of Francois Ozon, and produced Ozon's feature film debut Sitcom (1998). In 2015, after nearly 20 years at Fidélité, Delbosc created his own production company Curiosa Films, with associate partner Emilien Bignon.[2][3][4][5] Also in 2015, he married the actress and filmmaker Audrey Dana.[1]

In 2014, he was considered by Télérama, alongside Marc Missonnier, among the "Top 50" people in French cinema who "have the power and the talent to raise money, create films, make them popular".[6]

On 17 October 2022, Delbosc was named Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak.[7]
