Annecy Residency 2024: Post-Impressionist Coming-of-Age, VR Boosted War Drama, and Mexican Fantasy Noir
This year's residency projects worked with mentors like Celine Sciamma to explore and experiment.
Living in cramped quarters of a low-income high-rise after fleeing the 1960s uprisings in Tunisia, young Lily starts a project of urban renewal, planting a garden in an abandoned courtyard to bring her new surroundings the colors of the world she left behind. At the residency, Deboissy worked with fellow oil painter Patrice Suau (“Calamity, a Childhood of Martha Jane Cannary”) to bring color and cohesion to the film’s diverse graphic influences. As it tracks a young man from an Armenian village to the Eastern Front to a German POW camp where Mangasaryan used his artistic talent in order to survive, the biopic will boast a graphic aesthetic pulling from 2D, 3D and stop-motion.
