Making-of: Ma vie de Courgette

Barras fell in love with Gilles Paris’ book. Story and tone brought him back to his childhood and first emotional flutters in the cinema. “This adaptation into animation is an homage to neglected and mistreated children who do the best they can to survive and live with their wounds.“

Curated and moderated by Erik van Drunen

In presence of Claude Barras (Director), Elie Chappuis (Animator), Gregory Beaussart (Head Puppet Maker)
