Dès sa sortie de La fémis, en 2006, Julien Poupard éclaire de nombreux courts métrages puis se fait remarquer pour son travail sur Party Girl, Caméra d’or à Cannes en 2014. Collaborateur fidèle de premiers films et de jeunes réalisateurs – par exemple Terre battue, de Stéphane Demoustier, ou Les Ogres, de Léa Fehner –, il récidive avec Divines, premier long métrage de Houda Benyamina en sélection à la Quinzaine des réalisateurs.

Upon graduating from La fémis in 2006 Julien Poupard designed the lighting on a number of short films and was noticed for his work on Party Girl, awarded a Golden Camera at Cannes in 2014. He is a faithful collaborator on first films and for young directors – for example 40-Love by Stéphane Demoustier, or Les Ogres, by Léa Fehner – now he is back with Divines, the first feature-length film by director Houda Benyamina, in selection at the Directors’ Fortnight.

Christophe Beaucarne has been working for over twenty years with very different directors on films with very different visual worlds. He has worked with the Larrieu brothers on Un homme, un vrai and Peindre ou faire l’amour, and with Anne Fontaine on Coco Before Chanel and Perfect Mother, with Jaco Van Dormael on Mr. Nobody, and recently with Christophe Gans on Beauty and the Beast. With The Blue Room, the fourth feature film by Mathieu Amalric, competing in the Un Certain Regard section, Christophe Beaucarne is once again working with Amalric, following their collaborations on Stade de Wimbledon and Tournée. Adapted from the eponymous novel by Georges Simenon, Mathieu Amalric plays the lead role alongside Léa Drucker. (BB)
