DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY

Born in Lyon in 1972, Martine Deyres first studied theater and worked as an actress before moving towards documentary cinema. Trained at Ateliers Varan then at Lussas (Master 2 documentary creation), she makes films on public places with hygienic and standardized devices, such as Lieu commun (2003) or White Spirit (2006). For a few years now, she has been tackling counterpoint by taking an interest in the world of psychiatry. While working on the preparation of her feature film “Happy Hours” on the asylum of Saint-Alban, she met the famous psychiatrist Jean Oury with whom she made a long film of interviews, Le sous-bois des insensés ( 2015).

PRODUCER’S BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY

After studying literature, Alexandre Cornu earned a degree in film from ESEC (Ecole Supérieure d’Etudes Cinématographiques) in 1984. He then completed his year of mandatory military service in the French Army’s film and cinema department. In 1987, he took part in founding the company Les Films du Tambour de Soie, alongside Jacques Malaterre and Bernard George. He became the company manager in 1996.

He produces from eight to ten hours of programming yearly, for TV and cross-media broadcast, working with French networks (Arte, France 5 and France 3, LCP, Planète +, Vosges Télévision and Voyage) and foreign ones (RTBF in Belgium, TSR in Switzerland, AVROTROS in the Netherlands, YLE in Finland).

For five years now, he has also been producing feature films. His latest theatre releases are a film by Marion Aldighieri, “Avec nos yeux” (the story of actress Emmanuelle Laborit’s battle for sign language) and “Jasmine,” a feature animated in stop-motion, selected by the Festival d’Annecy and the European Academy Awards.

With offices in Paris, Marseille and Vichy, LES FILMS DU TAMBOUR DE SOIE, founded in 1987, has been producing films for over 30 years. The company’s name was inspired by the title of a play by Yukio Mishima (Aya no Tzuzumi or The Silk Drum). In 1993 the company settled in Marseille, developing an editorial focus on documentaries about the arts and Mediterranean culture. Our continually renewed curiosity generated eclecticism: we began to explore new topics and new forms of filmmaking, and we soon opened an office in Paris. Our films are about society, history, discovery, politics, and lifestyles. They are always produced on an international scale together with European or foreign coproducers.
LES FILMS DU TAMBOUR DE SOIE regularly work in collaboration with National French Museums (the Louvre, the Orsay Museum, the Georges Pompidou Centre) and produce every year between eight and ten hours of programmes for French broadcasters (ARTE France, France 5 and France 3) and foreign channels (RTBF in Belgium, Sveriges Television in Sweden, TSR in Switzerland, NRK in Norway and YLE in Finland).
Today our catalogue contains more than a hundred and fifty films distributed by Doc&Co, Andana Films, Terranoa, France Télévisions Distribution and Arte Distribution.
In 2012, Les Films du Tambour de Soie was named Best French Documentary Producer by the PROCIREP.
In 2013, our film Jasmine by Alain Ughetto was selected for the Best European Animated Film at the European Film Awards.
In 2014, we were awarded the FIGRA Jury Special Prize for “L’Ecole en Bâteau,” a film by Laurent Esnault and Réjane Varrot, produced by Nicole Levigne.
In 2016, the SCAM Star was awarded to “Concrete Stories”, produced by Muriel Sorbo.
In 2018, our production A thousand girls like me, by Sahra Mani was selected in prestigious festivals, like IDFA, Sheffield, Hot docs and won many prices…
