Jean-Noël Gobron

Overview

Jean-Noël Gobron was born in Belgium on 19th January 1954 as the son of the poet Marie-Jo Gobron (1916-2008) and the painter Roger Gobron (1899-1985). At the age of thirteen he realized his first super 8 film experiments. Four years later he left school to work in an industrial photographic studio and as a projectionist in a movie theatre. After a year he resumed school in order to study photography, plastic arts and film. In Brussels he graduated from the film school.

In 1973 he creates the film club ZOOM and from 1974 onwards he worked on several motion pictures as camera operator and director of photography. In 1983, during a three months trip to Tokyo, he directed his first feature film. Two years later he founded the production house ALCYON FILM.

Jean-Noël Gobron was active within various associations, such as the ABAFT (association of film and television authors), the ABPRF (association of producer-directors), the AJC (workshop of young filmmakers), the CBA (audio-visual center at Brussels), HOT DOC. (association for documentary makers), PROSPERE (authority gathering several associations) and the audio-visual commission of the SABAM. He also lectured cinema at the VUB (Flemish university of Brussels), the KASK (film academy of Ghent) and the NARAFI (film institute in Brussels. In 2018 after having lived for almost 45 years in Brussels, he leaves Belgium for France with his spouse Charmian Cabrera. There they create the art gallery ESPACE D’ART ROGER GOBRON, dedicated to the work of Jean-Noël’s parents.
