To the woods
(Une Fugue)

Sister remembers that Brother had dark eyes, hair like her own, shoulders as fragile as a bird’s wings, and that he knew the way to the river by heart. Sister has forgotten noting about Brother.

Following her studies in animation at the Ecole Superior des Arts Décoratifs, where she directed her first two painted animated shorts LA VALSE DU PENDU et LA VEUVE CAILLOU (official selection in Clermont-Ferrand, Dresden, Stuttgart, Animafest and Annecy), Agnès Patron co-directed CHULYEN HISTOIRE DE CORBEAU with Cerise Lopez, a short film awarded in numerous festivals in France and abroad (Grand Prix Animatou, Grand Prix at the National Animation Film Festival, Special Price from de Jury Hiroshima…). She then co-directed the paper cut-out animation clip METEORES. In 2021, alongside Sacrebleu, she continues to work as graphic author in FREEDOM SWIMMER (Grand prix at Stuttgart). Her latest film, UNE FUGUE, is co-written with Johanna Krawczvk, with whom she worked on AND THEN THE BEAR (which won the César for best animated short).
