Jean-Loup Passek (29 July 1936 – 4 December 2016) was a French film critic. He was the director of cinematic collections at the Centre Georges Pompidou, and the author of several books about cinema.
Passek was the editor of all articles on geography in Petit Larousse from 1963 to 1985.[2][3] Passek authored several books of cinematic criticism, including the Dictionnaire du cinéma published by Éditions Larousse.[1][4] In 1978, he became the director of cinematic collections at the Centre Georges Pompidou.[2][3]
Passek worked on the La Rochelle International Film Festival from 1977 onwards.[4] Under his leadership, the film festival focused on comparing films rather than ranking them through competition.[5] A year later, in 1978, he worked on the Cannes Film Festival, where he launched the Caméra d'Or with Gilles Jacob.[4]
