S. Jean-Noël PIERRE is a Screenwriter, Film director, Cinematographer, film Editor, Academic.

He is known for "Absolutely Must Go" (2021, Co-Screenwriter / Director / Cinematographer / Editor).

S. Jean-Noël Pierre was born and raised in Mauritius, before moving to France at the age of 18 to study. He has a PhD in Information and Communication Sciences, with an option in cinema.
Besides his passions for music, singing, theatre and dance, especially within the group Nissa (more than 200 concerts in France) and the rock opera troupe Amnésia, he naturally turned to documentaries to deepen his knowledge and flourish. He is now a documentary and sports live broadcast director.
This film on Chagos is in a way a return to his roots.
In Mauritius, S. Jean Noël Pierre was very early sensitized to the cause of these people, thanks to his father, who often mentioned this tragic story with him. It was in secondary
school that the young man first heard the famous slogan "Rann nou Diego" ("Give us back Diego"). Listening to committed artists and discovering the demonstrations of the Chagossians allowed him to become familiar with these historically relegated people. After the loss of his father, the tragedy of this archipelago intimately linked to his island imposed itself on his mind as well as on his heart, pushing him to take out his pen and cameras once again.

He is teaching at University of Lorraine (France) and at French Lycée in Luxembourg.
