Michèle Reiser
Michèle Reiser, 68, is a philosopher by profession. In 1975, she
started a weekly literary show for young people on the FR3
television channel, which she hosted for eight years. She also had
a literary column in Le Monde de l’Éducation and later worked
regularly at Ex Libris.
As a filmmaker, producer and TV fi lm author, she produced
documentaries, profiles and major stories on key themes between
1983 and 2005, including:
- social issues – Les Trois Mousquetaires
à Shanghai and La Vie en rollers;
- politics – she produced the Un Maire,
une Ville collection with Alain Juppé in Bordeaux and Jean-Claude
Gaudin Marseille;

anxiété, Un homme sous haute surveillance, and Epilepsies;

In January 2005, she was appointed a member of France’s

Audiovisual Production, Free Private Channels, Advertising and
Cinema and Music working groups over her six-year term.
From 2008 to 2012, she founded and presided over the Commission
on the image of women in the media. At the end of each year, the
Commission published a report underscoring that although women have
visibility, they are still confined to a particular role and that
men are still the only ones whose knowledge is considered
legitimate. This observation brought to light the notion of an
“expert”, which will be the subject of the second report presented
in December 2011 during a symposium at the French National Assembly
titled “Les expertes, bilan d’une année d’autorégulation” (Experts:
Results of One Year of Self-Regulation). The Commission was awarded
permanent status by the Prime Minister in 2011.

associations’ access to audiovisual media, which produced a report
submitted to the Prime Minister in January 2011.
She was a member of the Gender Equality Observatory from 2010 to
2012.
In 2013, Michèle Reiser founded the consultancy firm, MRC.

which became Festival de Paris in 2017.
She published two novels with Albin Michel: Dans le creux de ta
main in 2008, and Jusqu’au bout du festin in 2010, which won the
Prix de la révélation littéraire in 2010 from Aufeminin.com.
She was promoted to the rank of Chevalier de l’Ordre de la
Légion d’honneur in 2010 and named Chevalier de l’Ordre National du
Mérite in 2004.
