Describe your typical day at work.
I have been working at Yorck for more than eleven years, and there is genuinely no such thing as a typical day, which I think many people in exhibition would recognise. For me, that variety is one of the most important things about the role: it keeps the work engaging.
A significant part of my time goes into team management: setting goals, holding one-to-one meetings, and running regular check-ins. I also review daily and weekly KPIs and oversee a wide range of projects, from internal process improvements to F&B developments and cinema renovations. The responsibilities are recurring, but the pace and priorities shift continually.
One habit I'll admit to, though not proudly: I rarely take a lunch break. It has become part of my typical routine, but it is something I am actively trying to change. Stepping back genuinely helps you think more clearly.
The moment you fell in love with the Big Screen?
Growing up in France, going to the cinema was simply part of life, so I cannot point to a single first memory. But one experience stands out clearly. When I was around thirteen, my German class went to see Run Lola Run by Tom Tykwer. We all expected something very « German », serious, probably a little dry and instead we were completely caught off guard. The film was dynamic, urgent, and genuinely exciting. More importantly, it was a strong collective experience that we shared as classmates. That moment shaped me in many ways: it deepened my love for cinema and also created a lasting connection with Berlin, both of which remain a big part of my life today.
The best thing about the cinema experience?
For me, it is the act of sharing emotions with others in real time, without distractions. Sitting in a room together, without interruptions, creates something that is difficult to replicate anywhere else. It sounds simple, but it is profoundly human.
What I find most interesting is that the film alone does not create that feeling : it is the collective experience that does. The magic comes from being present together, in the same space, at the same moment. That shared human connection is the strongest part of cinema for me.
