Complete filmography

Philippe Pollet-Vilard studied at the School of Fine Arts at St Etienne and Lyon before joining a communications agency when he was 19. As its artistic director, he gained a background in the areas of image, lighting and sets. He directed various music videos (Les Négresses Vertes), before making commercials, particularly for the Fnac stores. His work has merited the Statégie Prize several times over.

He directed his first short film, "Ma place sur le trottoir," with Jacqueline Heslo - who he'd met during a theater course - in the lead part. It won the Grand Prize for Best Film at the 1998 Clermont-Ferrand Festival of Short Film. Heslo was also awarded Best Actress Prize.

After six months of writing and improvisation, Pollet-Vilard developed the short into a feature film "Jacqueline dans ma vitrine." It was co-directed by Marc Adjadj, a drama teacher.

Philippe Pollet-Vilard has also worked as an actor in Christophe Blanc's "Une Femme d'extérieur."
