Meet the founders
Victor Janjic and Manon Poinsot form a complementary, committed duo deeply rooted in creating images in service of living beings. Both photographers and filmmakers, they have joined forces within Solasta Production, an independent structure that combines artistic creation, social commitment and documentary rigor. Their work is located at the border between art, reportage, and narrative, with a common sensitivity: to give a voice to those who are not heard enough, to shed light on ecological and social struggles, and to create works that leave a trace.
Victor is a photographer, videographer, and documentarian. After years of traveling, living on a militant sailboat, supporting NGOs, and carrying out committed projects, he develops a visceral, sensitive, and deeply human aesthetic. His gaze combines popular roots, raw poetry, and political awareness. He has worked with numerous associations, artists, and public figures, and creates images marked by sincerity and narrative tension. He is also the initiator of the Dernier Calendrier, an artistic and solidarity project bringing together 12 causes and 12 personalities around the same object.
Manon is a photographer and artistic director, driven by an intuitive, radiant, and deeply human-centered visual approach. She develops a style that is both delicate and assertive, where light tells as much as faces. Her work explores softness, inner strength, and the simple elegance of bodies and spaces. At the same time, she stages committed projects that question our relationship with the world, time, and living beings. Her sensitivity, rigor, and sense of framing make her an essential creative partner in all Solasta projects.
Together, Victor and Manon build images that do not cheat. Their collaboration is based on a rare complementarity: Victor's instinctive and narrative roots meet Manon's aesthetic precision and luminous intuition. They share the same ethical standard — producing consciously, working locally, limiting ecological impact — and the same ambition: to create works that serve the causes they represent.
Through Solasta Production, they carry out artistic, documentary, and solidarity projects, including Le Dernier Calendrier and Le Dernier Documentaire, with a constant desire: to put creation at the service of meaning.
About the brand
Le Dernier Calendrier is an artistic, militant, and deeply collective project, born from a simple desire: to bring together those who fight for a fairer world and to give strength to their struggles. Through 12 months, 12 images, and 12 associations, they have built a printed object that speaks as much to the heart as to the conscience, a calendar that goes beyond the decorative function to become a tool for awareness, transmission, and concrete support.
They have brought together twelve organizations that work daily for social, ecological, and human justice: Sea Shepherd, Surfrider Foundation, #NousToutes, Banlieues Climat, Fashion Revolution, No Plastic In My Sea, l’Inter-LGBT, l’Après M, Entourage, Co&xister, Protect Our Winters, and Kokopelli. Each carries a vital struggle: the preservation of oceans, the fight against sexist and sexual violence, popular ecology, water quality, LGBTQIA+ rights, cultivated biodiversity, fast fashion, the fight against food insecurity, and the defense of wildlife.
To embody these issues, committed personalities have agreed to take part in a powerful artistic creation: Swann Périssé, Lamya Essemlali, Le Tréma, Ludovic Franceschet, Virginia Markus, Féris Barkat, Arthur Le Vaillant, Olivia Piana, Bengous, Cookie Kunty, Florian Fiquet, Johanna Piettre Hermès, Benoît Le Baube, and many others. Each photo tells a story: an encounter between a face, a cause, a territory, and an energy. The images were designed as paintings, powerful, sincere, sometimes soft, sometimes rough, but always full of meaning.
The calendar is accompanied by a documentary available for free on YouTube, Le Dernier Documentaire, which follows the adventure of its creation. We discover the behind-the-scenes, the discussions, the doubts, the bursts of laughter, the travels, the portraits of the associations and personalities. It is a film about ecological and social struggles, but also about commitment, militant fatigue, the joy of building together, and the hope that reinvents itself at every encounter. This project was produced independently, outside of large structures, with a constant desire for coherence and ethics. Each sale directly supports the 12 partner associations. Buying Le Dernier Calendrier means offering a beautiful, useful, solidarity-based object, and concretely contributing to strengthening those who fight so that tomorrow is livable.
The eco-responsible impact
Le Dernier Calendrier is a project designed from the outset as a truly ethical, sustainable, and responsible object — not just in its discourse, but in every step of its design. They want to create a medium that embodies the values of the 12 associations it highlights: social justice, protection of living beings, sobriety, transparency, and ecological coherence.
This starts with a simple but essential choice: everything is printed and bound in France, on 100% recycled paper, with local logistics that drastically reduce the project's carbon footprint. No production abroad, no unnecessary transport, no opacity in manufacturing: each step is located a few hundred kilometers away, in a supply chain they can visit, verify, understand, and support.
The choice of recycled paper is not a compromise, but a strong gesture. It responds to an immediate issue: preserving natural resources and limiting deforestation. They selected a quality, certified paper, capable of hosting ambitious artistic images without sacrificing ecological standards. The French binding guarantees local know-how, a durable finish, and fair pay for the artisans who participate in the manufacturing.
Producing locally also means participating in the vitality of a changing supply chain and encouraging an economy that values responsible printing trades rather than a massive outsourcing model. However, the brand's ethics are not limited to the object. It is reflected in its purpose: 100% of the project exists to support the partner associations, whether it is popular ecology, the protection of biodiversity, the fight against sexist and sexual violence, the defense of LGBTQIA+ rights, the fight against food insecurity, or the preservation of the oceans.
Each sale generates direct support, without intermediaries, without dilution. It is a clear, transparent model, in which commitment is not a marketing pretext but the very engine of the project. They designed this calendar so that it embodies what we want to defend: a culture of joyful sobriety, of shared responsibility, of concrete support, and of accessible art. An object that does not cheat. An object that tells of another relationship with the world, time, resources, and the struggles we choose to carry together. With Le Dernier Calendrier, every page turned supports a cause, every image carries a struggle, and every day of the year becomes a reminder that another model is possible: local, coherent, sustainable, and deeply human.
