Roundtable / Actor, actress: a matter of desire

A panel discussion inviting various film professions - art agents, casting directors, actors and actresses - to discuss the notion of desire in relation to the actor.
What is an actor's desire? A screenwriter may desire an actor when writing for him, a casting director may be seduced by an actor's performance, a director may wish to shoot with an actor and make him his muse... The actor also desires his role, wishes to work with a filmmaker, wishes to be acclaimed for his performance. The discussion will revolve around these different ways of desiring, but also on the possible abuses: this desire connected to the art of creation and projection must not be mistaken for a desire of another nature; there are safeguards and good practices to embrace, including those specific to the protection of child actors.

Elisabeth Tanner
Agent, Time Art
Elisabeth Tanner was born in Algiers in 1957, where she spent her childhood and teenage years. She then moved to Toulouse, where she studied law and began parallel studies at the Toulouse Conservatoire National d'Art Dramatique. Arriving in Paris in 1978, she studied at the Cours Florent, getting through the first round of the Conservatoire but not the second. She worked in almost every role on short films, joined a theatre company for a while and then worked as an assistant director, first with Caroline Huppert and then with Jacques Fabbri. It was there that she met the collaborators of Olga Horsing Primuz, whose artistic agency she joined for a few weeks... She stayed there for 7 years. She then worked in production for a few months before being called by Jean-Louis Livi, who brought her back to Artmédia, where she spent 27 years of her life.
In 2015, she founded the Time Art agency, taking 240 talents from Artmedia with her. She represents such well-known actresses and actors as Cécile de France, Nathalie Baye, François Berléand, Reda Kateb, Niels Arestrup, Charles Berling, Lou Doillon and Charlotte Rampling. She is also President of the Syndicat français des agents artistiques et littéraires. In 2015, she inspired the role of Andréa Martel, played by Camille Cottin in the series Dix pour cent. In January 2020, she will star in Quentin Delcourt's documentary Pygmalionnes, which gives a voice to women in the film industry.
