After working as a conference interpreter and as Chargée de mission at the Ministry of State’s Media and Communications Service for a few years, Carole first joined Film Fund Luxembourg in 2014, for the part-time position of Creative Europe MEDIA Desk, which she has held ever since. In 2016, she started working full-time at the Fund, initially focusing mostly on XR and immersive media-related projects. Her current tasks include working with the promotion department to plan and implement international co-production visits and industry events, managing and implementing the Fund’s participation in the “CinEuro” Interreg project, handling the Fund’s support scheme for music videos, identifying relevant international training opportunities and promoting them to local professionals, and liaising with other ministries and international bodies like the EFAD on policy and partnership matters on behalf of the Fund. Occasionally, she attends international co-production markets, in particular for new audiovisual formats. Since 2022, she has been the substitute representative to Eurimages ad interim and manages the Fund’s participation in the “New Dawn” and “ESFUF” co-production initiatives. As Creative Europe MEDIA Desk, she promotes the opportunities of the MEDIA Programme to the local industry and advises them on their MEDIA funding applications. Carole is an EAVE graduate (2023).

YANN GENGLER

Yann Lazar Gengler (b. 1996, Luxembourg) is a filmmaker and musician drawn to storytelling that feels both surreal and deeply human. As a member of the independent art-pop band TUYS, he started directing music videos in 2020, using film to express emotions and conflicts he struggles to put into words. With the collective TWO STEPS TWICE, he has directed and shot over thirty music videos, exploring dystopian worlds, metafiction, and documentary. But filmmaking isn’t just about his own vision. It’s about learning, evolving, and pushing creative limits. He works closely with his director friends, co-directing, shooting, and operating the camera on their projects. Every collaboration teaches him something new, and that’s something he’ll never give up on. Through documentaries and reportage, Yann captures moments as they are, leaving space for the viewer to interpret and feel freely. For him, filmmaking is a way to make sense of the world—or at least embrace its chaos.
