La Planche des Belles Filles
Clément Simon, Amélie Barbier
Melisey, late summer. At the foot of the legendary La Planche des Belles Filles mountain pass, a campsite is getting ready for the passage of the Tour de France cycle race and the local champion, Thibaut Pinot. Two sisters, year-round residents, are getting ready to move away. They are living their last days in the places where they grew up in.

Clément Simon grew up between Reims and Brittany. After studying law and cinema, he completed his training by joining the professional documentary master's degree at Paris Diderot University. Following this experience, he worked for two years at La Fabrique du Regard, the educational center of Le BAL, an art and new media platform. He questions the multiple forms of self-narrative and the resurgence of memories in marginal territories.
Amélie Barbier was born in Avignon. Her graduation short film, Dreams of A Blind Man, produced with the professional documentary master's degree of Paris Diderot University, explores the dreams and memories of a blind Iranian man living in Paris. She then joined the anthropology department of the EHESS, and studied the relationships between dreams and perceptions of the environment in a village in the Russian Far East. She is currently working on an anthropology PhD thesis and a film on the “science of dreams” in a sleep disorders laboratory. Driven by ethnographic immersion, her approach mixes documentary and fantastic genres to explore invisible worlds.
Amelie and Clement collaborated with the Ateliers Médicis on art residencies in Normandy and Ouessant (Finistère), and they co-directed the short documentary La Planche des belles filles in 2022.
