Michèle Laroque - Actress & Director
"For 25 years, the Alpe d'Huez Festival has been paying tribute to film comedies. For 25 years, the Alpe d'Huez Festival has been celebrating these films that lighten up our daily lives, bring us breaths of fresh air and make our hearts beat faster. 25 years, we have been able to experience in front of all the Festival's screens this magical moment when the entire audience bursts into laughter in unison. 25 years that the Alpe d'Huez Festival has been highlighting those who are at the origin of this magic. Those who provoke the laughter that helps us live. There was a missed appointment in 2021, but as laughter is stronger than anything, nothing can stop it, not even an epidemic! In 2022 the Festival returns stronger and more powerful than ever. I am very honored, very happy and very proud to be the President of the Jury of the 25th Alpe d'Huez Festival. Long live Cinema, Long live Laughter, Long live Life!"

"I am very happy to be part of the Jury of the Alpe d'Huez Comedy Film Festival for several reasons: The first one is because it is a Festival that I like, because of its organization and its spirit. And especially because I like comedy in all its forms. The second reason is that I received two awards for my first film, The Gilded Cage, in 2013, which brought me luck for the future.
