    Gerardmer 2021 : Mosquito state will be screened in official competition

    “ For all the vampiric bloodletting in genre films, I felt like the mosquito, man’s deadliest enemy, was thoroughly unexplored and, after reading Michael Lewis’ Flash Boys, I became fascinated by those hidden away “quants” who made high-frequency trading go.

    Gerardmer 2021 : Anonymous Animals will be screened

    "Les Animaux Anonymes draws its origin from an obsessive image: that of a horse attacking man under carnivorous impulses.

    Gerardmer 2021: Cyst on the program of the shifted night

    "Cyst is my roller coaster horror movie. I wanted something familiar but different that never stops once the action has started. It's a reminder of old monster movies like The Blob with orchestral music, 60s dinners and, most importantly, ooey-gooey madness. I wanted it to be a summary, Alien meets The Blob meets Troll 2." - Tyler Russell Tyler Russel dares organic and delirious horror, the kind that will make movie theatres react, scream with laughter...
