Since its launch in 2018, GOGOGO Films has been producing for cinemas and for TV, short and long films, documentaries and fiction. Menu Carine Ruszniewski founded GoGoGo Films in 2018. Since then, GoGoGo Films’ commitment to creative documentary has taken her to Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, and Berlin. The company stands out for its international co-productions and its passion for real-life stories, as evidenced by Nicolas Pedduzi’s Ghost Song, ranked among the world’s top 10 documentaries by Vice in 2022, Myriam el Hajj’s Diaries from Lebanon , selected for the 2024 Berlinale and winner of the Grand Prix at the Champs-Elysées Film Festival and The Golden age , Bérenger Thouin’s debut film blending fiction and archival footage, at the Official Selection at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. GoGoGo Films also co-produces documentaries for Arte France, France TV, and Canal+, focusing on creating works enriched with rare archival footage. Proud to work with loyal filmmakers such as Gil Rabier, Julien Gaurichon, and Frédéric Bas, Carine also supports filmmakers like Samuel Suffren and Caroline Brami as they make the transition to feature films, while remaining attentive to emerging talent. An independent producer committed to a free and contemporary cinema, Carine has seen her work recognized: a finalist for the 2025 Procirep Award for Best Documentary Producer, she was appointed Chair of the CNC’s AVR3 committee in 2026. Elected to the feature film board of the SPI (Union of Independent Producers) and a member of the 50/50 collective, Carine is deeply committed to the fight against gender inequality as well as sexist and sexual violence. Carine Ruszniewski Producer To say that she splits hairs is an understatement: from one film to the next, she can spend six months in editing and ten years in development. Fortunately, in the meantime, it's shooting! As for the "be calm" hanging above her desk, we still wonders what it's for... Victoria Dominé Production administrator A frequent cinema-goer, she watches art-house films, mainstream movies, and socially conscious documentaries one after another, never tiring of them. She dreams of a film industry that is ever more free, more creative and, why not, more gender-equal. On a daily basis, she juggles administrative tasks, Excel spreadsheets, and contracts (and plenty of tea). Always caught between two projects… or two screenings. Lola Lefebvre Production manager Lola has two passions in the office: writing and Picard bowls. Sometimes she has her keyboard in one hand and her fork in the other. In these cases, don't bother asking her about schedules or deliveries. She won't reply. Judith Charlot Production assistant and distribution coordinator Between classes, work and her personal life, she manages everything with an energy that makes it seem like she’s got her schedule under control. When she has a little free time, she heads to the movies, goes for a walk, or watches a few short films. With a thousand things on her mind and a few skipped meals, she tries to fit it all into 24 hours. So far, it’s working… more or less. GOGOGO en images

Menu MOHAMED Sara OLACIREGUI Synopsis Mohamed is in his early twenties. He likes cinema, theatre, and above all, words. Every week, he goes to the improvisation and film writing workshop in his neighborhood, LABEC. One day, he will be “somebody”, he's sure of that. For now, he writes and films his difficult daily life which he shares with me, while I, through my camera, offer my own vision of this young man in maturation. Putting his images and mine together, this chronicle will be an intimate account of his blossoming, one of an up-and-coming artist who seeks essentially to find his own voice and own language. This portrait is an offer to accompany Mohamed in this assertion, in his moments of doubts and anger, and in his moments of success. Technical specs.
