In November 2025, the National Theatre School of Canada had the privilege of welcoming Juliette Binoche for an exceptional meeting with students and directors of the French Section.

An internationally renowned actress and filmmaker, and recipient of both a César and an Academy Award, Juliette Binoche offered a rare moment of sharing and reflection on art, cinema, and theatre. Through a conversation that was both generous and inspiring, she invited students to deepen their relationship with creation, performance, and artistic sensitivity.

Her presence at NTS was part of the CINEMANIA festival, where her documentary In Motion was presented. This delicate and introspective work reflects the richness of her artistic perspective and her commitment to a living and embodied practice of art.

This memorable encounter will undoubtedly remain a highlight in the students’ journey, illustrating the importance of exchanges with exceptional artists at the heart of the training experience.
