Hello,
I’m Julien Chardon, a French film editor, based in Paris.
Lately, I have edited the feature films Paul and Paulette Take a Bath (2024) and Kyma (2026) and also two short movies for Insolence productions Le Bézoard and Lui
Whilst I have a particular fondness for genre film, I love building stories of sorts. Anything that takes me on a journey; through emotions, through time, around the wide, wonderful world.
I cut images, shape emotions and explore pace, to seek the true core of the story and the director’s vision. From TV programs to cinema, advertisement, art and music videos I have honed my skills thanks to the directors, journalists and artists I worked with for the last twenty years.
I am also one of the lead organisers and programmers for the Korean Film Festival in Paris (FFCP) it is one of the most renowned, and well-attended film festivals in Paris.
Let’s meet!

I love to craft
Fiction
Feature films and a bunch of short movies raise and born from intense and trustworthy collaborations.
Documentary
Editing is also creating windows onto our world. We cut pieces out of reality, and structure them to open minds.
Reportage & Entertainment
My first steps as an editor were with Magic, and Eco-mag, delivering cristal-clear messages, fast. Making editing an invisible trick that brings out the best in the material.
Art Films
Works of art showed into museums. An other side of editing that question both meaning and rythm in radical different ways.
A kind of blast for me.
Music Videos
Do be do be doo wouap!
Lots of fun and experimentations here.
I won my first (and only…) editing award for one of them.
Advertising & Corporate films
Where I deal with production company, publicists, clients and so on. It’s also art in many ways.
