After studying history, Anne Gourdet-Marès worked as a projectionist and camera assistant. Passionate about the history of film technology, she has been in charge of the Pathé film equipment collection since 2002, and later of the Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé Foundation. Her research focuses on the history of film equipment and its medium—film. She also organizes educational workshops on the technical inventions of cinema, particularly for young audiences. In September 2015, she created "Le Petit Cinématographe" (The Little Cinematograph), a cinematic experience combining magic lantern shows and silent films. She is the author of the book *Si on allait au cinéma!* (If We Went to the Cinema!), published in February 2018.

Julien Beautemps Nominated for the 2026 Victoires de la Musique awards, winner of the 2023 Francophone Media Young Soloist Prize, and recipient of grants from the L'Or du Rhin, Banque Populaire, and Charles Oulmont foundations, Julien Beautemps is recognized for his musical intelligence, dazzling virtuosity, and mastery (Radio France). Born in 2000, he graduated from the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in 2025 and holds a Master's degree in Solo Performance from the HEMU in Lausanne. Winner of a dozen international competitions (Grand Prix Musical Lauredia 2023, 1st Prize at the PIF Castelfidardo International Competition 2021, 3rd Prize at the World Accordion Trophy 2021), Julien is regularly invited abroad (Japan, Serbia, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain), and to perform on France Musique and RTS. He has been invited to the Radio France Montpellier Festival, La Folle Journée in Nantes, La Folle Journée in Tokyo, Pianoscope Festival, Piano à Riom, Festival de La Vézère, Flâneries Musicales in Reims, Colmar International Festival, and more. He performs with Gautier Capuçon, Philippe Bernold, Eléonore Pancrazi, Lucile Richardot, Romain Leleu, and François Salque. Julien released his first solo album, "Mechanics," on the Nügo label in 2022. "A genius arranger" (Radio France), he revisits Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, Ravel's Boléro, and Mozart's The Magic Flute with guitarist Sotiris Athanasiou on their album "Argos – Masterworks" (November 2025, DiscAuvers). Julien is also a composer and performs his music in concert, with pieces such as Mechanics and his Sonata for the Resurrection, a duo with violinist Thomas Briant. These award-winning and critically acclaimed works contribute to expanding the instrument's repertoire. Alongside his Sonata No. 1 "Inferno" for solo accordion, Julien presents his arrangement of Mozart's Requiem on his upcoming album "Symphonics" (2026, Oktav Records).
