François Goetghebeur (born 13 November 1974) is a French film director, photographer and art director. He became known in the music world thanks to his work including music videos, recordings, documentaries and artists portraits. Goetghebeur is a native of Lille. He finished his education in the United States, where he studied business. He left to work as commercial in Spain from 1996 to 1997. After this experience, he worked as the CCO (chief communications officer) for a Swedish group before meeting LGM Production in 1999, where he worked in production before focusing his attention on directing. In 2002, LGM Production gave him the editorial and artistic responsibility of important protests and demonstrations, for which he directed reports and institutional movies in Europe, Africa, the United States and Asia. At the same time, he was head of directing for the 'making of', teasers and documentaries for EuropaCorp, working alongside Pierre-Ange Le Pogam and Luc Besson, for whom he later worked with again, in particular as a cameraman on the implementation of "Arthur's and minimoys". His first short film was selected for the festival for the promotional film Méribel. Starting in 2004, he introduced various series of documentaries ("musical Journeys" through all Europe for Mezzo, Tous Proprios for Discovery Channel, Guy Bedos for CALT, …); directed several promotional films (for and with Pierre Palmade, Zinedine Zidane and even Adriana Karembeu); and he wrote and directed short programs of fiction bound for the Web ("A gesture for the environment" for the federation of "Caisses d'epargne," for example). When LGM Production and France Télévision gave him the opportunity to film the Orchestra of Paris, managed by Christoph Eschenbach (for whom he later realized including all the Mahler symphonies), François focused his directing attention on the music, and in 2006, the concert film of Alain Chamfort "Impromptu in the Luxembourg Gardens" was nominated for Victoires de la Musique. "Carmina burana in the City" was selected by FIPA (International Festival of Audiovisual Programs), and he turned out the musical films in various forms: recordings of concerts, artist profiles, videos and documentaries. Going from symphonic music to rap, jazz or rock, he has collaborated with many artists as diverse as Michel Legrand, Mathieu Chedid, Julien Clerc, Booba, Orelsan, Tryo, Oldelaf, Joey Starr, Selah Sue, Charlie Winston, Barbara Bonney, Alexandre Tharaud, Nolwenn Leroy, Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, Dianne Reeves, Vincent Segal & Ballaké Sissoko, Jean-Claude Casadesus, Yannick Noah, Anne Sofie Von Otter and Jacques Audiard who worked with Francois as an advisor to direct the live singer Raphael. Following the completion of the concert film "A Night in Versailles", his meeting with Vanessa Paradis influenced him to develop his work as a photographer. In addition to his personal research of photography, he quickly saw himself working on projects for various artists such as Raphael, Julien Clerc, Louis Chedid, Rohff, Nolwenn Leroy, Thomas Langman and Vanessa Paradis for whom he took photos during her 2010 tour. ...
