Career

In 2007, Dereims received the International Red Cross Prize at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival for Un génocide à huis clos, a documentary about the persecution and plight of the Karen people in Burma (now Myanmar).[1][2][3]

In 2009, he won the Albert Londres Prize[4], one of France's major journalism awards, for his documentary Han, le prix de la liberté.[5][6][7][8]. The same year, he was awarded the Golden Nymph for Best Documentary at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival for La Corée du Nord : la liberté ou la mort. Both documentaries were filmed secretly and followed North Korean defectors as they attempted to reach South Korea through China and Southeast Asia.[9]

In 2010 and 2011, Dereims documented the journeys of African migrants attempting to reach Europe. He filmed their passage through the Ténéré Desert and later followed migrants during the political upheavals of the Arab Spring in Egypt and Libya.[10] His documentary Le Piège was selected for the Al Jazeera Documentary Film Festival[11] and the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).

From 2012, Dereims worked with producer and press photographer Claire Beilvert[12] on a feature-length documentary about the Jarawa people of the Andaman Islands in India. The project sought to document the community's way of life and, in particular, to allow members of the Jarawa to speak for themselves. Dereims and Beilvert were among the first journalists to interview members of the community. The resulting film, Nous sommes l'humanité, premiered at the Musée Guimet in Paris on 12 April 2018.[13][14]
