My Life As A Courgette

Ma vie de Courgette Claude Barras

* 1973 in Sierre. Claude Barras studied illustration and infography at École Emile Cohl in Lyon as well as computer graphics at ECAL in Lausanne. He has already made several award-winning short animation films, most recently ROOM 69 (2012), which was selected for numerous festivals.

ICE FLOE (2005) was also presented in the International Short Film Competition in Cannes, while festival hit LE GÉNIE DE LA BOÎTE DE RAVIOLIS (2006) screened at more than 50 festivals. MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE is Barras’ much anticipated feature-length animation film debut.

Courgette is a rather unusual nickname for a 9-year-old boy but his unique story is surprisingly universal. After his mother’s sudden death, Courgette is befriended by a kind police officer Raymond, who accompanies Courgette to his new foster home filled with other orphans his age. At first Courgette struggles to find his place in this strange, at times, hostile environment.

Yet with Raymond’s help and his new found friends, he eventually learns to trust, finds true love and at last a new family of his own.
