After initial training in foot reflexology, three years of study at the Jean-Périmony School of Dramatic Art and a very short career as an actor, Cyril Dion became project coordinator for the Hommes de Parole Foundation in 2003. He participated in the organisation of the Israeli-Palestinian Congress in Caux in 2003 and then, in 2005 and 2006, of the 1st and 2nd World Congresses of Imams and Rabbis for Peace in Brussels and Seville. In 2007, he founded the Colibris Movement with Pierre Rabhi and a few friends, which he led until July 2013. He is still its spokesperson and member of the steering committee. In 2010, he advised and co-produced with the Colibris the documentary Local Solutions for a Global Disorder by Coline Serreau. In 2012 he co-founded the magazine Kaizen, of which he was editorial director from March 2012 to April 2014, and the collection "Domaine du Possible" published by Actes Sud, which he still directs with Jean-Paul Capitani. Since the age of 17, he has been writing poetry, a process that led in 2014 to the publication of the collection Assis sur le fil by Editions de la Table Ronde. He wrote and co-directed with Mélanie Laurent the documentary film Demain, which was released in the cinema on 2 December 2015, as well as two eponymous books published by Actes Sud. Demain won several awards, including the César for best documentary film in 2016, and was a huge success in cinemas, with over one million one hundred thousand tickets sold in France and broadcast in nearly 30 countries. In 2017 he published his first novel Imago, which won the Mediterranean Prize for First Novel. In 2018 he directed Après Demain with Laure Nouhalat for France 2, which analyses the impact of the film Demain on society and meets the initiatives that have emerged from it. The same year he published "Petit Manuel de Résistance Contemporaine", which explores how narratives shape our societies and strategies for dealing with climate change and the collapse of biodiversity. In 2019 he begins shooting his new film Animal which will be released in early 2021. Source : Cyril Dion. (n.d.). À propos. Retrieved January 4, 2022, from https://www.cyrildion.com/blank-1/
