Hubert de Torcy: cinema is a lever of faith – Le Salon Beige

You like to watch beautiful films with your family, comfortably seated on your sofa… or experience the emotion of the big screen at the cinema. Films that mark, that elevate, that bring people together. Sacré CÅ“ur, Le Roi des Rois, David and many others… strong stories, which span time and which speak to the heart. Well, behind these films, there is a vision and a conviction: that cinema can be a real lever of meaning, faith and transmission.

Hubert de Torcy, founder and president of SAJE Distribution and SAJE+, is a committed entrepreneur… but first and foremost a teller of stories. For more than 10 years, he has worked to promote meaningful films that elevate, question and nourish the soul. With SAJE, he has contributed to structuring and growing the distribution of Christian films in France. With SAJE+, the reference platform for Christian films, he continues this mission by offering access to all to discover and watch the lives of saints, classics of French cinema, documentaries, biopics, series, comedies… for adults, for children and families.
