Marlon is a French - Belgian short film directed by Jessica Palud in 2017.
action
14-year-old Marlon was placed with her grandmother Françoise on a court order after her mother Hélène was imprisoned after an act of violence against her boyfriend Mathéo. In addition to Françoise, her uncle David, Hélène's brother, also takes care of her. He accompanies Marlon to the judge, who gives Marlon permission to visit her mother in prison for the first time. She is accompanied by David. Françoise stays at home because she has not given birth to a daughter in order to have to visit her later in prison.
Marlon is tense before the encounter. The meeting with the mother goes well at first. Marlon explains that she wants to visit her more often in the future, but Hélène refuses. She will - the verdict is still pending - will probably be in prison for a long time and Marlon will have to live her life without her. In conversation, Marlon is increasingly distracted by a couple who begin to kiss in a side visit box. Impatient at first, Hélène finally freaks out and yells at the couple to stop. She breaks off the visit and allows herself to be taken back to her cell. She asks David not to bring Marlon back to visit. Marlon runs after her and says that she is not ready for a life without her. Later, Marlon and David leave the building without a word and start on their way home.
production
Marlon was the second short film that Jessica Palud made as a director. As with Poupée in 2016, she wrote the script again with Clémence Madeleine-Perdrillat . The work on the scenario took ten days. The starting point for the story was that Palud's grandfather himself had been in prison for a while. Palud therefore wanted to depict the effects on the immediate family, as she had also experienced, not least, in her own family.
Filming for Marlon began in October 2016 and lasted seven days. The prison scenes were filmed for three days at the Maison d'arrêt in Reims. Work on the film was finished in April 2017; the budget was 145,000 euros.
In addition to professional actors, amateur actors also play in the film. In addition to Brigitte Boutard, who plays the grandmother Françoise, Marlon actress Flavie Delangle also had no previous acting experience. After auditions in Paris, Reims and Brussels, Delangle prevailed against around 50 other young people. The costumes created Alexia Crisp-Jones , the Filmbauten came from Anne-Sophie Delseries .
Marlon ran on June 10, 2017 at the Festival Côté court de Pantin and has subsequently been seen at numerous international festivals, including in September 2017 at the Toronto International Film Festival and in February 2918 at the Festival du Court-Métrage de Clermont -Ferrand , where the film ran in national competition. ARTE France first showed Marlon on French television on November 18, 2017.
Awards
Marlon was nominated for a César in the Best Short Film category in 2018 . At the Portuguese film festival Olhares do Mediterrâneo - Cinema no Feminino, the film received an honorable mention from the jury in 2018.
