ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:
Since he was 11 years old, motivated by an English teacher to whom he had chosen to show his first short animated stop-motion film, Guillaume Bierry has been making films. His desire, which was then only to "literally give life" to inanimate objects through animation, gradually spread over larger territories: to give birth to emotions, sensations, to propose meaning. During the 3rd year of his studies at 3IS Paris school, he has directed a short film: Sentience, or the story of a robot that wants to give an old lady back her taste for life.
