French director Pierre-Luc Granjon started his career in the stop-motion studio Folimage as a puppet maker. Since his directing debut, the stop-motion short film A Little Adventure (2001), he has experimented with a variety of animation techniques from cut-out paper to pinscreen.
In an interview with GoCritic! at the 19th Bucharest International Animation Film Festival (Animest), Granjon discussed his approach to different techniques. He was a member of the Animest jury for the feature film and Romanian competitions in addition to giving a masterclass. The festival also screened the episodic series of four children's short films he co-directed, The Four Seasons of Leon, and The Inventor [+see also:
