Daughter Never Cries, and Florence Quentin's Ole, starring Gérard Depardieu and Gad Elmaleh. In 1993, Swaim joined the Association Équinoxe, a screenwriting workshop founded by Jeanne Moreau. The workshops were designed to give an international profile and resonance to selected French and European projects, allowing them to reach a variety of audiences in a more direct way. Since 1993, almost 8000 screenplays have been submitted and over 200 writers selected, 135 international advisers, and 65 films produced and released. In 2003, Swaim was elected to the Board of Directors of Équinoxe. He has also been an adviser-consultant at the Performing Arts Lab for Screenwriters in Kent, England, and at the Australian Film Commission's workshop in Sydney. Additionally, he has been a guest lecturer at New York University and Columbia University. He has also taught acting at Andreas Voutsinas' Theatre des 50 L'Atelier and the VO/VF Acting School. In the early 2000s, Swaim was writing his next feature film, Pigalle-Barbès (provisional title), a thriller that takes place in Paris during the Algerian War. He was also preparing a documentary for France Télévisions on the First Congress of Black Writers and Artists that took place in Paris in 1956 as part of the Année des Cultures Francophones-2006. In 2007, he returned to the stage, to direct a Blues Odyssey at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
