It’s with great sadness that we share with you news that PechaKucha Night in Paris organizer Dominique Playoust has passed away. Even though we had known Dominique was ill, the news came as a shock to us, and hit everyone at PechaKucha HQ very hard. Dominique had taken over as organizer two years ago, and he was very passionate about producing fantastic PechaKucha Nights, and that has always meant a lot to us. All our sympathies go out to his family and friends, and we also thank Paris team member Benoît Drouillat for sharing the news with us, and for offering to carry on the PKN torch in Paris.
We posted Paris‘ video report for PechaKucha Night Vol. 9 earlier this week, and now here’s a gallery of photos from the event — see the city’s Flickr photostream for more. All photos were again taken by Rémy Deluze.
The organizers behind PechaKucha Night in Paris put together another terrific video report for their latest edition (Vol. 9), held late last month. We’ll feature photos from the event later this week.
Following yesterday’s look at PechaKucha Night in Paris Vol. 8 through photos, here’s a terrific video report on the event, directed by Mathias Garnier. The interviews — in French — cover how each presenter tackled the PKN format.
PechaKucha Night packed over 500 attendees at the Divan du Monde venue in Paris late last month for that city’s very succesful Vol. 8. All photos from the event were taken by Rémy Deluze — there’s much more to see at PKN Paris‘ Flickr photostream.
PechaKucha Night in Paris Vol. 8 is just around the corner (April 28), and that evening’s presentations will then be followed by a screening of the terrific PSST!3 collaborative film series. Can’t be there? Luckily for the rest of us, all of the 17 shorts from this year’s edition of the “exquisite corpse” inspired festival are also available for viewing online.
