Frédéric Dieudonné (born September 21, 1969) is a French writer, a filmmaker and a producer, environmentalist and creator of the Jules Verne International Film Festival.

Education and early career

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,[1] is dedicated to exploration, education and conservation.[2][3] 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.

Career

  • Filmmaking

From 1999 on, Dieudonné co-produced several films for TV via Jules Verne Adventures, including [https://web.archive.org/web/20120316091648/http://www.julesverne.org/en/Nos-films/devilsisland.html/ Devil's Islands] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120316091704/http://www.julesverne.org/en/Nos-films/redandwhite.html/ Red and White]. A five-month expedition on the Atlantic aboard the tall ship Belem led to his production of the highly acclaimed and award-winning documentaries:

  • Five Months on the Sea – the Jules Verne Expedition.

Two fully illustrated books were also published after the expedition ({{Cite book |language=French|title=L'expédition Jules Verne à bord du Trois-Mâts Belem |author=Jean-Christophe Jeauffre |publisher=Équinoxe |year=2003| isbn=978-2841353521}} and {{Cite book|language=French|title=Esquisses d'un voyage Amazonie-Martinique-Açores |series=Carnets d'ailleurs |author=Jean-Christophe Jeauffre |others= Michel Bez (illus.)|publisher=Équinoxe |year=2002 |isbn=9782841353460}}).

In 2006, Dieudonné wrote, directed and co-produced the Jules Verne Adventures TV documentary [https://web.archive.org/web/20120316092314/http://www.julesverne.org/en/Nos-films/explorers.html/ Explorers: From the Titanic to the Moon], starring producer/director James Cameron and veteran Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

All of the aforementioned films are now being distributed in the US on DVD and Blu-ray with narrations by Sir Christopher Lee and Ernest Borgnine.

The latest expedition he produced for the Mars Institute and NASA is the Northwest Passage Drive (2009–2010): the first motorized crossing of the Arctic Sea. As an executive producer and a consultant, Dieudonné is currently developing both a feature documentary called Passage to Mars and a Science Fiction feature film to be produced in Hollywood.

In 2014, Dieudonné was elected a Fellow of the famed Explorers Club, based in New York City.
