Saint-Lupicin. A Leap into Science by Maud Pfeiffer and Marceau Bourret | Weekly 39

Maud Pfeiffer from Saint-Lupicin, Olivier's daughter, a retired school teacher and mountain bike guide, is well-known in the village, having studied applied arts in Besançon, then photography in Belgium.
She has since become a professional photographer and filmmaker, and directed the film “Animal Model” which was selected in the competition program of the 46th International Documentary Film Festival “Cinéma du Réel”.
The film was screened on Tuesday, March 26, with a debate, and on Friday, March 29, at the Pompidou Center in Paris, as part of the “Cinéma du Réel” festival.

The film has been in the works for the makers since the end of 2019.
