Association des décoratrices et décorateurs de cinéma

Who are we ?

« This is what always happens in life : one imagines oneself playing a role in a piece. What one does not suspect, however, is that someone else has discretely changed the set to such an extent that one finds oneself undoubtedly playing in an entirely different spectacle. » Milan Kundera.

The ADC

L’ADC is the Association des Chefs Décorateurs de Cinéma. It is open to all professionals in the field of cinematic production. The Association defines itself as a meeting place, a forum for reflection and a medium for exchanging information.
