The whole ACS team would like to thank the AFC for the latest Micro Salon which took place at the Parc Floral in Paris. It was great to meet everyone who visited our stand.

Denis Lenoir is already a confirmed cinematographer when he reads Pierre Bourdieu’s essay, Photography: A Middle-brow Art.
The idea that ‘‘bourgeoisie dunces’‘ are particularly successful in photography - a way for them not to downgrade - has always interested him. Born in that milieu and a “lazy, lousy student,” Denis Lenoir totally recognizes himself in that analysis.

In the lastest news from ACS France in December, two features are released, The Emperor of Paris and Aquaman.
