Emmanuelle Pactus

Emmanuelle Pactus has been busy shaking up the scene with her recent work, and honestly, her fingerprints are all over some of the coolest music-film hybrids out there right now. First off, there’s Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025), which isn’t your average rock-doc. Think less glossy fan montage and more deep-dive into what makes Bono tick—his philosophies, his quirks, and, yeah, a fair bit of soul-baring vulnerability. It’s the kind of film where you come for the stories but stay for the raw, unfiltered Bono—warts, wisdom, and all. Emmanuelle’s approach gives the whole thing this intimate, nearly confessional vibe, like you’re eavesdropping on a private chat, not just watching another celebrity puff piece. Then you’ve got V-U2-UV, which, let’s be real, is just wild. This isn’t your grandma’s concert film. Shot at the Sphere in Las Vegas in 2024, it's all neon, immersive visuals, and bone-rattling sound that makes your living room feel like the front row of the world’s most futuristic gig. Emmanuelle doesn’t just point a camera at the stage—she throws you right into the chaos, with sprawling crowd shots, surreal digital effects, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that make live shows legendary. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like getting lost in the music, she’s your ticket. Both projects show she’s got an eye for capturing not just performances, but the entire, electrifying energy that wraps around them.
