TRAILER
After studying applied arts, Claude DUTY began a career as an advertising graphic designer in Rouen. He started making amateur films, transitioning from Super 8 to 16 mm, and then from 16 mm to 35 mm. He went on to direct 21 short films at a pace of one per year, including *Le Courant d'air* (1974), *Poppée* (1982), *Ménage à froid* (1991), and *Le Goût du couscous* (2000). His approach is playful and offbeat, deconstructing clichés and conventions while experimenting with the "living" material of cinema, for instance by scratching film stock. Claude Duty also worked on Canal+'s short program for almost six years.
In 2001, he directed his first feature film, *Filles perdues, cheveux gras*, the intersecting journey of three lost young women, with Marina FOIS, Amira CASAR, and Olivia BONAMY in the lead roles. Following this success, Claude DUTY reunited with Marina FOIS for *Bienvenue au gîte*, a comedy about the tribulations of a Parisian couple who become owners of a guesthouse in the south of France.
In 2012, Claude DUTY embarked on his third feature film alongside Noémie LVOVSKY, Marie KREMER, and Judith GODRÈCHE.
