ABOUT — MARTIN ZARKA

Martin Zarka is a French film director and cinematic world-builder.

He creates narrative films conceived as cinema — where emotion, form and mise en scène carry meaning.

His work builds strong visual universes: each film develops its own language of rhythm, light, sound, bodies and movement.

Rather than illustrating ideas, his films give them shape — transforming concepts into lived cinematic experiences.

Martin works at the intersection of fiction, brand and culture, bringing an author’s vision to commissioned projects with the same level of craft and narrative ambition as independent cinema.

Founder of Drapeau Noir, a cinema creation & production studio dedicated to authored storytelling and high-end filmmaking.

Through the studio, he develops films for brands, institutions and cultural projects — always conceived as singular cinematic works.
