ARNAUD MALHERBE – FROM JOURNALIST TO SCREENWRITER

After studying to be a journalist, Arnaud Malherbe worked at the magazine L’Express for 7 years, where he wrote about travels, trends, nightlife, adventure and cinema. A longtime lover of stories, based on facts or imagination, he took a sabbatical during which he joined Fémis’s screenwriting workshop. He never returned to his editorial office. Resignation and a great leap into fiction, full-scale.

He wrote and directed his first TV film for Arte, Belleville Story, which won Best TV Film at the TV Fiction Festival of la Rochelle in 2009. His second TV film, Chambre Noire, came out in 2013, he then co-wrote and directed the series Chefs for France 2, broadcast at the beginning of 2015, which was a great critical and public success. In 2020 his new series Moloch, a fantasy thriller, is broadcast on Arte and is awarded the Screenplay Prize at the CANNESERIES festival. Moloch is currently available for streaming at DRTV in Denmark.
