Edinburgh, 1874. Jack is born on the coldest day the world has ever seen and his heart remains frozen. Doctor Madeleine saves him by replacing his defective heart with a mechanical clock. He will survive with this magical contraption so long as he respects three rules: he must never touch the hands; he must control his anger; he must never, ever fall in love. His encounter with Miss Acacia, a little street singer, makes the clock’s hands turn more quickly. Jack is prepared to do anything to find her again and so, like a Don Quichotte, he sets out on a quest for love that will take him from the Scottish lochs to Paris, and from there to Andalusia.

Christmas Eve is right around the corner and nothing is going as planned. The 92,000 elves in Santa’s workshop all keel over and pass out, in one fell swoop! That’s quite a blow to Old Saint Nick. He has no choice but to hitch up the old reindeer and fly down to Earth, on the double, in search of a cure! But once he touches down in Paris, he’ll need to scare up some allies to help him save the day. The eminently-talented Alain Chabat brings this enchanting story to life — with all the sparkle, clever dialogue, stunning visual effects and heartfelt emotion it deserves — as writer, director and the most endearing Santa ever likely to grace the screen (and with talking reindeer, to boot!). This family charmer, which delighted French critics and audiences alike, has the potential to become a Gallic Wizard of Oz for the 21st century!

Written by: Jacques Perrin.
Directed by: Jacques Perrin, Jacques Cluzaud, Michel Debats.
Academy Awards 2003 Nomination for Best Documentary.

This documentary presents an epic portrait of winter bird migration. Filmed on all seven continents over four years, the footage is brought together into one portrait of a journey that’s uniformly arduous for all kinds of different birds. Rather than concentrating on statistics and facts, the film near-wordlessly portrays the sheer physical effort demanded of the birds on their disparate routes. Along the way, we see the many dangers they face, from man-made waste to a group of hungry crab.
