Marine Blin

I completed my training at La Poudrière in Valence after earning a DMA in animated cinema at ESAAT in Roubaix and specializing in 2D animation at EMCA in Angoulême. During my studies, I made several films, including Our Hands Will RememberandThe Imprint. I then directed Quartier Libre, a commissioned short film for the En Sortant de l’École, Season 1 collection, adapted from Jacques Prévert (Tant Mieux Prod / France Télévisions).

From 2015, I was part of the Hellemmois studio Train Train, where I have worked on various short films such as (Fool Time) JOB, The Ogre, and Birdy Wouaf Wouaf… At the same time, I teach in various schools and continue working with Tant Mieux Prod and France Télévisions on seasons 4, 5, and 7 of En Sortant de l’École, this time guiding young directors through all stages of producing their first professional short films.

My first professional short film, What Resonates in the Silence, produced by Papy 3D Productions, was released in 2020. In 2022, I continued developing the feature-length adaptation of The Bear and the Hermit, co-written with Delphine Maury, a project supported as part of the Groupe Ouest Annual Selection. I am also working on the script for a new short film.

L’Ours et l’Ermite

Annual Selection 2020

Early spring in the forest. When the Bear wakes up from his hibernation and wants to join his adoptive mother the Fox, she makes it clear that he must learn to fend for himself, like a BEAR. But that’s the specialty of the Hermit, a mysterious little man who has been living in the heart of the forest for a long time! The unlikely meeting between this happy Bear, overexcited at the idea of learning, and the highly knowledgeable Hermit with frail nerves, will give rise to the most beautiful lessons in self-reliance… for two. The forest animals don’t take kindly to this situation. A bear and a hermit together is not natural! The closer they get, the more desperate the Fox is to make her child understand that he’s made the wrong choice… The seasons pass. Between the clumsy bear and the hermit with a wonderful secret, a question of love and friendship develops. The strong desire to learn to live alone shows us just how much we want in fact to live together.
