Marie-Lola Terver
Marie-Lola Terver was born in Clermont-Ferrand where she navigates between the city, the country, and the internet. After moving to Paris, she studied literature and cinema and worked on films as a set dresser. In 2018, she co-directed a short film with Anaïs Le Berre, Zéphyr et le Roi. She loves Jacques Demy, Eric Rohmer, and cheese.
Paul Jousselin
Paul Jousselin is a true Parisian. Any animal, insect, or bird discovered outside the French capital fascinates him. He studied cinema at La Fémis in the sound department and now works as a sound mixer. He secretly dreams of making it in French rap.

Princess Mononoke
A mystical fight between humans and the Animal Gods of the forest. Ashitaka, the last prince of a dying race, struggles to find a way for both sides to co-exist. But the fighting only becomes more and more bloody and all hope seems to be lost…
Cookie Queens
A documentary about the annual Girl Scouts' cookie sale is probably not high on your list of must-sees, but don't be too sure — this movie is a delight, a rare celebration of girlhood, supportive family relations, and the art of salesmanship.
Jackie Brown
Take half a dozen characters who know they're in a fix, and give them half a million dollars to fight over. Tarantino's crime movie (his best) transcends genre in large part because in Pam Grier and Robert Forster it gives us people we truly care about.
A Simple Machine
Cutting costs, swapping four wheels for two, Nick is downsizing to pay off his student debt. It's a path which leads to savings he had not anticipated, even if his girlfriend thinks he's losing it (and she may be right). A lean, low budget gem.
