  Interview with Curtis Essel, director of Sodom & Gomorrah Can you tell us more about the project to build the training centres? How are you involved? Filmmaking for me is not only to tell inclusive and diverse stories. It’s paramount that with every film I produce, there is a social impact initiative to follow it. In March 2018, I made my debut short film […]

  Interview with Thomas Vernay, director of Miss Chazelles Tell us a little about how Miss Chazelles came to be. I always have a hard time answering that question. There are so many reasons behind a film’s origins… The most important, I think, was me really wanting to shoot a film in the village where I grew up. It’s not a place I necessarily have […]

  Interview with Ricardo Castro, director of Adíos, Adíos, Adíos Adíos, Adíos, Adíos deals with family, memories and grief.

The film is first of all about a character, Marie Boudin. Coming home from school one evening, a friend and I were talking about names that made us laugh. Marie Boudin’s was still fresh in my mind. There […]

  Interview with Simon Guélat, director of Aline Why did you want the main subject of the film to be a hidden love affair? As in my first film, what interests me is how a character frees himself (or not) from the environment from which he came, his ability to invent something else, something unexpected. In Aline, the forbidden adds tension, it makes the […]

  Interview with Julien Silloray, director of Mortenol What made you want to make a film about revenge and can you see yourself making other films on the subject or that include it?
