Motion Plus Design: Ten years of motion design artistry at the Grand Rex Paris 2025
Since its creation in 2011, Motion Plus Design has become an essential stage for the artists who shape the future of moving images.
Founded with the vision of honoring motion design as a true art form, the initiative has evolved into a global network that connects creators, studios, and audiences across continents.
Over the years, it has expanded from Paris to Tokyo, Los Angeles, Seoul, New York, and more than fifteen cities worldwide, forming a living archive of contemporary visual culture.
In 2025, Motion Plus Design celebrates a decade of innovation and influence by returning to the Grand Rex in Paris on November 8.
This anniversary edition marks ten years of dialogue between design and cinema, bringing together masters of title design who have defined the visual identity of modern storytelling.
The event reaffirms its commitment to showcasing the artistic intelligence behind the moving image and the creative minds that shape it.
Among the international lineup, Patrick Clair, founder of Antibody and the visionary behind title sequences for True Detective, Westworld, and The Night Manager, stands alongside director David Tomaszewski, who will present his debut feature YOROI, starring Orelsan.
Michelle Dougherty, known for Sonic Sea and her Emmy Award-winning work for Stranger Things, joins Karin Fong, co-founder of Imaginary Forces and director for Spider-Man: No Way Home and Venom: The Last Dance.
Nikon Basu, the creative force behind Glitchborn and projects such as Delhi Crime and Qala, contributes a perspective deeply rooted in narrative precision.
Felix Soletic, currently Senior Art Director at Apple, brings his experience from The Crown, Watchmen, and Ratched, while Leilanni Todd, award-winning creative director for brands such as Apple, Google, and Nike, continues her exploration of design and cinematic rhythm.
Additional participants include Emily Bisset and Robert Hranitzky from Adobe, Mehdi Hadi from Maxon, Sunny Osahn from Render Network, Pierre-Baptiste Harrivelle from 17MARS, Julien Martorell from Frame Club, and Clémence Renaud from La Fonderie de l’Image.
The celebration extends into the evening with Motion Plus Design AI Evening, dedicated to the intersection of creation and artificial intelligence.
This segment will gather AI artists, studios, and forward-thinking brands to reflect on how technology transforms aesthetic language and narrative form.
Set within the Grand Rex, from 12:30 PM to 7:30 PM followed by the AI Evening until midnight, the event embodies a decade of artistic dialogue and future-focused imagination at the heart of Paris.
