Violette Gitton

Violette Gitton tried her hand at filmmaking at a very early age, through her involvement with associations in Brittany. In 2023, she directed her first short film, Ce qui appartient à César, produced by Films Grand Huit and nominated at the César Awards 2025. For the past 6 years, Violette has also been working as a children’s supervisor on set: she looks after the physical and moral safety of underage actors, and advises the director’s team on their direction. This activity has enabled her to discover the sets of series and feature films, and to learn a great deal about the diversity of mise en scène, as well as the political and ethical issues that are shaking up the French film industry today. Very recently, Violette tried her hand at sound documentary with her podcast Malheur niveau 2, available on Arte Radio.

The Healed of Saint-Sauvignac (Les Cicatrisés de Saint-Sauvignac)

Sélection Annuelle 2025

Four seasons for four redneck pre-teens in a fictional Quebec town. It’s a bored suburb, until the installation of an extraordinary water park on the other side of a disused railroad line. It’s a great way to break the routine and discover your own body and those of others.
