**Editor’s Note: This episode of Scene 2 Seen was taped before the July 14th start of the actor’s strike.
Hello and Welcome to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast I am your host Valerie Complex, Associate Editor at Deadline Hollywood. In this episode, I chat with French actor and screenwriter Salif Cissé.
Cissé began his acting and screenwriting career while still in high school, where he discovered his passion for the stage. He attended local conservatories before being admitted to the prestigious Conservatoire Nationale Supérieure d’Art Dramatique de Paris (National Academy of Dramatic Arts) in 2017.
During that time, he staged his first project, High Sign (Lewis John Carlino) at the Cartes Blanches Festival. From there he went on to be cast in 2019 by Guillaume Brac in his film, All Hands on Deck. Salif starred in his own original mini-series, Couronnes (Crowns), directed by Julien Carpentier and produced by Golden Network.

One of my biggest discoveries at last year's Strasbourg Fantastic Film Festival, and subsequent favorite films of 2013, was David Perrault's Our Heroes Died Tonight (aka Our Heroes Are Dead Tonight). The film, as one French critic called it, is a 'generous declaration of love to cinema', which sounds about right. Masked wrestlers tussling with gangsters and love in the in the black and white Paris of film history, I suppose, is another way to describe it, although that has basically the same effect. Perrault's film is in the long tradition of French riffs on American genre, where the struggles in bistros and bedrooms are given equal weight to those in the ring. It brought the house down in Strasbourg. Twitch: Is it true that the idea...

I’ve returned from Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, but the festival keeps on running until the end of the day tomorrow, September 26. And, like any self-respecting festival, there have been awards announced for various films and the people involved in their creation. The only award I can say I had even a slight hand in was the Audience Award–ballots were handed out after each public screening over the first four days of the festival. Sadly, though, I can’t even say that my votes mattered, as the Audience Award winner was a film I sadly didn’t get a chance to see. It’s Jodorowsky’s Dune, a documentary about a film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic sci-fi novel directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Of course, as we all know, that version never came to fruition, as the actual film was directed by David Lynch. But the story...
