TRAILER
Pascal-Alex Vincent
After a degree in Film History at the University of Paris III, Pascal-Alex VINCENT worked in the distribution of Japanese cinema in France. Les Résultats du Bac, his first short film in 2001, marked the beginning of his collaboration with Local Films. His next short, Far West (2002), was a festival success, followed in 2004 by Hollywood malgré lui, a comedy filmed as part of Canal +'s “Voilà comment tout a commencé” collection. The Cannes Film Festival then selected Bébé Requin, a short film in competition for the Palme d'or in 2005. Three years later, he completed post-production on his first feature film, Donne-moi la main, produced by Local Films.
Finally, in 2012, he began work on Miwa: à la recherche du Lézard Noir, in Tokyo. The documentary focuses on Japanese actor and singer Akihiro Miwa. In October 2016, he published a dictionary of Japanese filmmakers (editions Carlotta Films).
