A writer, poet, songwriter, screenwriter, and film dialogue writer, Jacques Prévert was an artist of unforgettable talent who left behind him a large legacy of works covering many media. In 2017, now forty years since Prévert's death, the time has come to celebrate his work around the world.

Credited with classic French films such as Les Enfants du Paradis by Marcel Carné and Le Roi et l'Oiseau by Paul Grimault, Jacques Prévert left an indelible mark on cinema history.
