Caroline Raafat

I am building a career in documentary, film, and audiovisual production, with hands-on experience in editorial and production work via roles at ARTE France, M6, and Galatée Films. I have supported projects at different stages, from development through production and post-production, in both documentary and fiction.

During my MSc Médias at ESCP Business School in Paris, I developed a documentary project as my master’s thesis, centered on the question: “Can AI become a tool for learning, or are we witnessing the quiet automation of thought itself?”. This project involved in-depth research, the construction of a narrative arc and directorial intentions, and the development of a production proposal, allowing me to approach documentary filmmaking from both an editorial and conceptual perspective.

Thanks to my studies and professional experiences, I have contributed to the editorial analysis of projects in development, the writing of editorial recommendations and coverage reports, as well as editorial follow-up throughout post-production, including feedback on editing and narrative structure. I have also been involved in production planning, budget follow-up, shoot preparation, and on-set support, giving me a concrete understanding of audiovisual production workflows.

With a French-German-Swiss background and international academic experience, including a one-year exchange at UC Berkeley, I enjoy working in international environments.
