BIOGRAPHIE

After studying philosophy and cinéma at the Toulouse’s university, Pierre Gaffié started his career as a film critic for TV channel « Canal Plus », in the daily live program « Nulle part ailleurs » (« Nowehere else) ». He became bored with the job, and started to write scripts, on an independent basis. His first short -« A woman in the juke-box »- gained some attention in film festivals. The pitch (A woman, lost in a forest, finds a 45 record single in a trunk, and becomes persuaded that the songs may soothe her...) was as surprising as many first films are... Among his other films : - « Relativity explained to children » (Bronze award at the « Festival of nations », Lenzing, Austria), was a gentle and moving fable around a young couple and its child, Nicolas, who has the responsibility of « teaching » Einstein’s formula (E = MC2) to his fellows pupils) « The dolphin skin city » (Best drama at the Media Film festival, Pennsylvania, USA) was a story about love and architecture and about the architecture of love. Its main message : creators and dreamers are very often very lonely. Eric, the main character, meets a florist Claire, who will put him on another side of life… « 20 meters of love in Montmartre » (77 selections around the globe) was, without any dialogues, the proof that perfect strangers can reach strange perfection. When they are able to pay attention to other people… « Constance, a symphony of kisses », tells the story of Constance, a young and beautiful art student who realizes that time is NOT on her side, as all of her friends are now mothers... She finds a device to go and search for the right man, the one who will give her love, and a child. Maybe… - « Radio Moon », with her main character (Sibyl, a late night radio host), is an ode to the voices in the night, the persons who can help people to cope with their grieves. On a moonlit night, Sibyl has troubles with her personal life. But she’ ll find the strength, and the resources to save her listener, Michel, from a possible suicide. Sibyl is played by Marilyne FONTAINE, who won a prize at the Rome Film festival for a former film. She irradiates « Radio Moon ».
