Julien Lahmi began his film career in the field of "creative documentary", directing Vietnam Paradiso in 2001, which was programmed at the Cinémathèque Française and released nationally 12 years later. He then moved to fiction and experimental cinema. The themes of childhood, memory, fantasies and of the impermanence of things led him to initiate the concept of cinema of "recycling - the re-lighting of the family memory", fictions made from family films such as La Montagne au Goût de Sel.
From then on, he has been making mashup movies which remove icons from their pedestals (The Hidden Face of Pop, MK2 selection), as well as working with copyright free images (Munchsferatu version animée, 1st prize of the Wikimedia Public Domain Remix contest) or bringing together the free and the non-free (Moonlight Serenade). He loves making sing movie monsters like Darth Vader and Mon Etoile, Mon Amour was screened in very famous short film festivals like ISFF Clermont.
From 2018 to 2022, he has been working on his CNC Talent series, a dada fantasy musical tragicomedy called Tralala Bang Bang. An 8 times award-winning series such as "Best Web series" at the Cannes World Film Festival and "Creator's choice" of the Web Series World Cup. TLBB was selected at 22 festivals including Festival TV de Luchon, Seoul Webfest, NZ Webfest, WSXA Barcelona, Boden, Saint Petersburg, the Valencia Indie Film Festival, the Rome Independent Film Awards, at the "Histoires du cinéma" festival at the Toulouse Cinémathèque.
Besides, he is the creator and editor-in-chief of Mashup Cinéma, an encyclopedic webzine dedicated to the cinema of borrowing in the digital age. In partnership with the CNC, he took over the Mashup Film Festival in 2016.
