Pierre-Luc Granjon https://www.instagram.com/pierrelucgranjon "Granjon has produced a delightfully open-hearted fairytale of a boy and a monster, that, in the best of fairytale ways, skirts darkness and what is scary in the night, but ultimately provides an invaluable lesson for how to live. It’s a film perfect for children, but no less affecting for adults." - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi READ THE FULL REVIEW — https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2026/01/03/the-night-boots/ *CREDITS* Written and directed by Pierre-Luc Granjon Produced by Yves Bouveret - AM STRAM GRAM This film was made using an Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen named The Epinette, on loan from the French Centre National de la Cinématographie.
