Director Statement

C'est en 1992, à l'âge de 37 ans, que Patrice Forget découvre sa passion pour l'audiovisuel.
En 1994, il obtient le Prix spécial du jury, au IVème Festival Européen du Film d’Artisanat de Toulouse, pour "Le Feu de la rampe", court-métrage documentaire sur la transmission du savoir entre un apprenti et son maître ferronnier.
Après avoir encadré en France des stages de réalisation de films documentaires, et avec un collectif de passionnés d'audiovisuel, en Ardèche, il produit et réalise durant 5 ans une série de films documentaires sur l'Ecole de Nancy, mouvement artistique français de l'Art Nouveau.
Il réalise ensuite le portrait politique du chef de file de L'Ecole de Nancy, Emile Gallé, à travers ses œuvres de verre et de bois (Grand Prix du Scénario, XXIIIè Festival International du Film d’Art - UNESCO - Paris, 1999).
Puis il enchaîne sur le portrait politique de l'Abbé Grégoire, député/sénateur ayant joué un rôle important dans la Révolution Française.
Après avoir produit de nombreux films documentaires pour ses amis réalisateurs (sur les services publics, l'environnement, l'écologie,...), il renoue avec la réalisation de courts-métrages documentaires, avec des moyens techniques les plus légers possibles...

It was in 1992, at the age of 37, that Patrice Forget discovered his passion for the audiovisual industry.
In 1994, he won the Special Jury Prize at the 4th European Festival of Handicraft Films in Toulouse for "Le Feu de la rampe", a documentary short film on the transmission of knowledge between an apprentice and his master ironworker.
After having supervised documentary filmmaking courses in France, and with a group of audiovisual enthusiasts, in Ardèche, he produced and produced for 5 years a series of documentary films on the School of Nancy, the French artistic movement of the 'Art Nouveau.
He then produced the political portrait of the leader of L'Ecole de Nancy, Emile Gallé, through his works of glass and wood (Grand Prix du Scénario, XXIII International Festival of Film Art - UNESCO - Paris, 1999) .
Then he goes on to the political portrait of Abbé Grégoire, deputy / senator who played an important role in the French Revolution.
