Catherine Delmas

Brought up in the bosom of the national press, Catherine Delmas got her spurs at France Soir. In those days, Lazareff's male cohorts were still echoing in the editorial department. From the very start of her editorial career, whilst writing her column where all the show biz stories were woven, she met all the sacred Hollywood legends, and the Parisian ones as well.  But it never stopped her from unearthing new talent in the most discretely well hidden corners of France. Guided by her love of news, her talent for the written word and her love of working in a team, she practised her sharp style and her curiosity led her to discover news stories in all the different walks of life for which her profession could never get enough.  She joined the Hachette Lagardere Group in 1999 where she created the people pages for Tele 7 Jours, and invented a new style in the process.  Since 2005 she has been a collaborator on the culture pages of Madame Figaro. She writes sensitive pieces about people in the world of theatre and the arts, in cinema, in music and in fashion.  She's a regular traveller, enjoys listening to what others have to say, and is always ready to throw herself into the next major reporting job as though it was the most exciting adventure ever - whether it happens to be on the corner of the street, or at the other end of the world.

 


 

jury mareva galanterMareva Galanter

Mareva was born in Papeete, Tahiti in 1979. She is an actress, singer, presenter, and has appeared in short films and several feature films including "3 Zeros" in 2002 and "The Pink Panther" in 2006. Winning "Miss France" in 1999, her curiosity inevitably led to music. In 2006 Mareva recorded her first album 'Ukuyeye', a collection of French hits from the 1960's set to ukulele, the traditional instrument of the islands. The album received good reviews, and in less than two years a more personal album 'Happy Fiu'(2008) was released. Co-written with the designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (notably the single "Miss You") it is a collection of wonderful poetry set to music by the UK band 'Little Barrie'.  Always looking for something new, even if rediscovered, Mareva has presented for the last four years with Paris Premiere emissions on "Do you Do you Scopitone", which opens a treasure box of retro French songs, with rare or never before seen clips. These days Mareva sings onstage with the French international group 'Nouvelle Vague'. Every Friday, Mareva Galanter invites you to discover 'Sex Crimes', a collection of unpublished documentaries, from '13th RUE', tracing unique moments where passion slips. She is also presenting "L'émission Mode", June channel (Lagardère groupe), from October.
