Frédéric Dieudonné is an award-winning writer, a filmmaker and a producer, environmentalist and creator of the Jules Verne International Film Festival, born in France, September 21, 1969.
In 1986, Dieudonné graduated from highschool and earned his Baccalauréat in Literature and Foreign Languages, with honors, at the age of 16. He then was admitted at the Lycée Janson de Sailly of Paris where he prepared for competitive entrance exams (Classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles) to L'École Normale Supérieure de la rue d'Ulm (Hypokhâgne and Khâgne). After earning a master's degree in Modern Literature, with honors, from the prestigious Sorbonne University of Paris in 1991, he founded the nonprofit Jules Verne Adventures the same year, along with Jean-Christophe Jeauffre. Dedicated to exploration, environment, filmmaking and education, the organization is now based both in Paris and in Los Angeles. In 1992, Dieudonné and Jeauffre launched the annual Paris Jules Verne Festival, inaugurated by Jacques-Yves Cousteau. This event, now also based in Los Angeles, is dedicated to exploration, education and conservation. Then they developed a production unit to create new adventure & exploration programs for television. The Jules Verne Festival is held each year in April at the Grand Rex theatre of Paris, Europe's largest movie theatre, where it attracts more than 35,000 visitors and guests.
