Sébastien Hussenot

Biography from TheMovieDB

After working as a stage manager and production assistant for several years, Sébastien founded LA LUNA PRODUCTIONS in 1994 and quickly moved into production, driven by a desire to discover new talent. Over the years, he has produced more than 100 films (short films, documentaries and feature films) screened worldwide, winning multiple awards, including an Oscar nomination in 2009 for the short fiction film Manon sur le bitume (directed by Elizabeth Marre and Olivier Pont). Recently, he produced Sanki Yoxsan, directed by a young Azerbaijani filmmaker, which was presented in the official competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, Tsutsue (directed by Amartei Armar), a co-production with AKA Entertainment (Ghana), also in the Official Competition at Cannes in 2022, and America (directed by Giacomo Abbruzzese), nominated for a César Award in 2022. In recent years, Sébastien has mainly produced international co-productions (with Tunisia, Lebanon, Italy, El Salvador, Iran, Ghana, Azerbaijan, Senegal, etc.). Most recently, he produced Les enfants rouges (feature film directed by Lotfi Achour in co-production with APA, Versus Productions and Shipsboy) with Anissa Daoud, which will be released in cinemas in 2025 (in France, Tunisia, Belgium, Poland, etc.). The film had its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival in 2024 and has been screened at numerous festivals around the world, winning more than a dozen awards, including the Bayard d'Or at the Namur Film Festival and the Yusr Golden Award at the Red Sea International Film Festival.  He is also an associate producer at Nour Films Production, where he co-produced Germinal Roaux's film Cosmos with Patrick Sibourd (co-production Close Up – Switzerland, Cinevenay – Mexico and Nour Films Production – France).  He is currently developing several feature films (by Lotfi Achour, Azer Guliev, Marwan Khneisser, Louis-Jean Gore, Oriane Bonduel, etc.) while continuing to support emerging young talent. Sébastien Hussenot received the Procirep Producer's Award at the Clermont Ferrand Festival in 2018.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
