Capliez

Antoine Capliez is an author-director of documentaries and fiction ("Tallula"; "The Night Boy"), as well as TV series. His work takes a look at societal issues that challenge, such as: homophobia (documentary series "Plus rose ma ville"), unemployment (TV series "le destin extraordinaire de Kevin Martin"), parenthood and precariousness (documentary "Le temps d'échanges"), drugs (TV series "Les bas côtés") or the journey of an HIV positive woman (documentary "Mes cicatrices"). In his work as a screenwriter, marginality and the position of each person in relation to society are among his recurring themes. He often approaches these subjects in a very personal way, in a form that is similar to "poetic realism". Today, he co-wrote A Porta Gayola, his first feature film, with Louise de Prémonville.

A porta Gayola

When Keryann, as a boy, sees his father, Bachir, let himself be humiliated without reacting, his world collapses. In his low-income neighborhood of Arles, his future seems closed, until he crosses paths with Luis, a charismatic trainer at the bullfighting school.
