She has celebrated numerous international successes with films as diverse as the mockumentary Le challat de Tunis, the social drama La belle et la meute and the Oscar-nominated The Man Who Sold His Skin. Her latest highly exciting documentary film Les filles d'Olfa is currently showing in Swiss cinemas.

Jiří Menzel restoration
Jiří Menzel was one of the most talented comedy directors in cinema. Born in 1938, the Czech director was just 28 years old when he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1967 with Closely Watched Trains. trigon-film has already been involved in the restoration and translation of his films from the 1960s and 1970s, and we would now like to complete this work with three films by Menzel in the 1980s. You can support us in restoring the following three films and making them available with German and French subtitles in cinemas, on DVD and for streaming:
- My Sweet Little Village (Vesničko má středisková, Jiří Menzel, 1985)
- The End of Old Times (Konec starých časů, Jiří Menzel, 1989)
- The Snowdrop festival (Slavnosti sněženek, Jiří Menzel, 1983)
