Frédérique Dumas-Zajdela

Producer · Born May 18, 1963 (63) · Paris, France

Frédérique Dumas (born 18 May 1963) is a French film producer and politician of the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI) who served as a member of the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022. She is the CEO of Studio 37, the film production subsidiary of Orange. Dumas studied at the Institut Libre for International Relations Studies (Panthéon-Assas University), and holds a bachelor's degree in information/communication. From 1989 to 1993, Dumas was a film consultant for the French Ministry of Culture. At the same time, she was holding a director of development position at Polygram. In 1996, Dumas created NoéProductions, and IngaFilms in 2004, two independent film production companies based in Paris, France. In parallel, she was President of the Bureau de Liaison des Industries Cinématographiques, the office that syndicates most of the French film unions. In 2005, she was a member of the jury for the 20th movie festival in Paris. Today, she is the CEO of Studio 37, the film production subsidiary of Orange. From 1989 to 1997, Dumas was the Cultural Affairs delegate to the mayor of Antony, France. From 2001 to 2005, Dumas was the media and culture spokesperson for the French political party, the UDF. Since April 2004, she was also the regional counselor of the Ile-de-France county. Since July 2009, Dumas is the National Secretary in charge of new media for the French political party, the Nouveau Centre. In 2017, Dumas was elected as a deputy to the National Assembly as a member of La République En Marche!, having left the Union of Democrats and Independents earlier in the year. In parliament, she serves on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In late 2018, she joined an informal group on Grand Paris. In 2020, Satoury joined Sylvie Guillaume, Mounir Satouri and Hubert Julien-Laferrière in visiting several refugee camps in northern Syria that hold individuals displaced from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, including al-Hawl and Roj. She stood down at the 2022 French legislative election. Source: Article "Frédérique Dumas" de Wikipédia en français, soumis à la licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
