Family and Education
Through his paternal grandmother, he descends from the aristocratic Michau family of Orléans, which includes senior political, business, and military figures.[5][6] He is a cousin of actor Bruno Rozenker[4] and related to the Pierre-Bloch family[7], politicians, member of the French Resistance and cultural figures, including a minister, impresario, and press attaché, who were friends of artists such as Johnny Hallyday[8][9], Michel Sardou, Alain Delon[10] and Josephine Baker [11]. On his father’s side, he is the grandson of Michel Carboni (1916-1977), a senior customs official in charge of the South of France, and on his mother’s side, of Jacques Rozenker (1932-2014), a textile entrepreneur who collaborated with singer Sylvie Vartan and helped launch French designers Marithé + François Girbaud.[12]
Carboni is the son of Jean-Michel Carboni, a former diplomat, senior executive at Gaz de France, and deputy CEO of Engie[13], and of a classical pianist. His family lived in Norway, France, Greece, Hungary, and Italy, where he resided for six years and attended the Lycée français Chateaubriand in Rome.[14] He later studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and the Rome University of Fine Arts, before completing a degree in filmmaking in Paris. He also undertook short-term studies in Political science.[15][3]
Film and Theatre career
Carboni began his career as a production assistant and assistant director for producers Stéphane Tchalgadjieff and Danièle Gégauff, who collaborated with directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Marguerite Duras, Wim Wenders, Wong Kar Wai, and Steven Soderbergh. He later served as head of development.[16]
His first film was the documentary Bartleby en coulisses, which focuses on the theatrical work of writer Daniel Pennac in connection with a reading-performance of Bartleby, the Scrivener, a novella by Herman Melville, staged at the Théâtre de la Pépinière in 2009.[17][18]
In 2013, Carboni founded and became president of Compagnie MIA (Mouvement International Artistique), a theatre company established to produce shows by French writer Daniel Pennac, including Journal d’un corps, L’œil du loup, and Un amour exemplaire.[19] In the same year, he directed his second film, a history of electronic music[20] featuring composers Jean Michel Jarre, Émilie Simon, Teho Teardo, Moriarty (band) and François Bayle.[21][22] The film was selected for and screened on 19 June 2013 at the MusiquePointDoc film festival, held at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris.[23][24]
In 2017, his third film was a portrait of French fashion designers Marithé et François Girbaud, known for popularizing skin-tight jeans, baggy trousers, and the industrialization of the stone-washing process.[25]
He also directed a tribute film on French writer Michel Déon, a member of the Académie française and of the literary movement Les Hussards, which emerged in the 1950s.[26] Notably, Michel Déon, Jean d'Ormesson, Milan Kundera, Emmanuel Carrère, Xavier Darcos, Yves Boisset, Éric Neuhoff, and Antoine Gallimard participated in the film.[27]
