Cyril Dion

Cyril Dion is a French writer, film director, poet, and activist.

After studying at the École d'art dramatique Jean-Périmony (drama school) and a very brief career as an actor, Cyril Dion coordinated projects for the 'Fondation Hommes de Parole'. He organized an Israeli-Palestinian congress at Caux in 2003, 2005 and 2006, and the first and second world Congress of Imams and Rabbis for peace in Brussels and Sevilla.

Cyril Dion is the author of dozens of books: poems, novels, essays and books for young people.

He published his first collection of poems, Assis sur le fil, in 2014, followed by a second, À l'Orée du Danger, in 2022. In 2023, he takes part in La nuit est une page blanche, a book in which his poems (mainly haikus) dialogue with works by G&K (Stéphane Guiran and Katarzyna Kot). In 2024, he published La route sans fin.

In November 2015, he published an essay eponymous with his film Tomorrow, All Over the Globe, Solutions Already Exist. The book is published by Actes Sud in France and translated into English, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Korean.

In August 2017, he published his first novel published by Actes Sud: Imago (not translated in English). The book is well received by critics and booksellers. For Libération, "the co-director of the film Tomorrow, delivers a first novel that a fast pitch can serve. However, if he gave himself up to the perilous exercise of the subject three times in a row, he took the side of his four characters, with an uncompromising empathy and a haunting writing." The book received Mediterranean First Novel Prize in 2018.

In May 2018, he publishes "Petit manuel de resistance contemporaine" (A handbook of contemporary resistance) at Actes Sud. As soon as it was published, the book ranked in the best-selling essays. For Charlotte Bloch in the French weekly magazine L'Express:

"Far from being moralistic or utopian, this incisive little book full of ideas is a real breath of fresh air because of its particular approach to modern ecology. Here, we do not beat around the bush, but we ask questions while trying to find practical and constructive answers. "
