S2 E1 - Natasza Chroscicki - CEO of ARRI France, Business Development Director of ARRI Mediterranean & Jury Member of the Cannes Film Festival 'Caméra D'Or' 2022

For the first episode of series 2 of the podcast, I met up with Natasza Chroscicki - live from the bustling Cannes Film Festival 2022, to chat all things ARRI, cameras, cinema, and much more!

Natasza, who is of Italian Polish heritage, is the CEO of ARRI France & Business Development Director of ARRI Mediterranean. She is also currently a Jury Member of the Cannes Film Festival 'Caméra D'Or' for the festival this year (2022).

After studying architecture in Rome, Natasza worked for a few years as a decorator in cinema and theater in Italy. In 1994, she arrived in Paris to lead Technovision France, in the footsteps of her father, Henryk Chroscicki. The latter having been director of photography, producer, distributor, and manufacturer as well as rental of shooting equipment, she has always been immersed in this wonderful world of cinema. She inherited not only his company but also this artisanal spirit essential to creation.

In 2010 she created ImageWorks, an independent sales and marketing consulting company specializing in the cinema and audiovisual sector.

Currently she is the CEO of ARRI France, Business Development Director of ARRI Mediterranean and was most recently a Jury Member of the Cannes Film Festival 'Caméra D'Or' in May 2022.

Disclaimer: this was my first ever, in person, live interview and not over Zoom (for once!)...recorded in a slightly noisy hotel restaurant hence the odd clinking noise, or plate clattering, but I like to think this adds some festival atmosphere :) Enjoy!
