WORKS

‣THE NORTH FACE SUMMIT SERIES

‣SHELTER

       Credits

This film is an allegory of acceptance and self-seeking. We discover Nina, a young woman searching her memory for moments spent in the SHELTER. There, some beings out of this world will help her to free her body and mind from society's judgements. All along these initiatory scenes, dreams and reality will mix in an inextricable way until they become one.

‣MONTREUX JAZZ LINE UP 2020

       Credits

In 2020, the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival commissioned Messieurs.ch and Maxime Durand to produce a trailer unveiling the festivals’ huge line-up. The goal was the same as each year: tease and immerse the audience in a new unique edition of the festival. It’s only days before the release of the teaser that the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. In the fall of 2021, Mathieu Jaton (CEO of the festival) kindly allowed us to publish our director’s cut. We were asked to take out the artists' names and we decided to replace them with the famous texts from one of our beloved film « La Haine » by Mathieu Kassovitz.

Official release March the 1st 2020


AMAUROSE explores indirect relations between people, particularly the consequences about false judgments and slanders. 


Morality, rumors, religions, skin colors and  appearance are the core of modern blindness. Clogged judgement can be a pressure to  anyone... A pressure that can make us lose everything we have, from our head to our love...


Fight for acceptance is not over.
