🎬 #TAFFFTALK "Being Maria" by Jessica Palud
In this episode, French author Vanessa Schneider speaks about the adaptation of her book Tu t'appelais Maria Schneider into the film Being Maria, directed by Jessica Palud.
.
Although she wasn’t involved in the writing or structure of the film, Vanessa shares how filmmaker Jessica Palud made her own creative choices, selecting which moments to portray. The result, she says, is a film that deeply moved her — a respectful, powerful tribute to Maria Schneider, whose story resurfaced prominently during the MeToo movement.
The film had its North American Premiere at #TAFFF 2024.

🎬 “J’ai fait des décors avec des corps.” (“I built sets with bodies.”) #TAFFFTALK with Jacques Audiard
In 2024, acclaimed director Jacques Audiard joined us for two screenings of "Emilia Pérez", a bold, genre-bending musical shot entirely in the studios of Bry-sur-Marne 🇫🇷
.
In this episode of #TAFFFTalk, Audiard reflects on the unique experience of filming on soundstages instead of natural settings- a shift that shaped the tone and rhythm of the film.

(Director Agathe Riedinger expands upon her short film Waiting for Jupiter in this cautionary tale of a teenage girl obsessed with fame and her somewhat tainted vision of “beauty”. Living in a shabby apartment in the South of France with her deadbeat mom and cherished little sister, Liane aspires to become the “French Kim Kardashian.” Her big break comes in the form of an audition for the reality TV show Miracle Island. Being cast is a major longshot, but Liane milks the opportunity for all its worth, calling herself an influencer, chronicling her costly and often excruciating body modifications on Instagram, and poring over comments from her thousands of followers with an almost religious fervor. Yet staving off despair in the social-media culture that is her world can sometimes feel like a heartbreaking exercise.)
