Claude Barras — the Oscar-nominated, two-time César-winning director of MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE — returns with SAVAGES!, selected for a Special Screening at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The touring exhibition SAVAGES! invites visitors of all ages behind the scenes of this stop-motion masterpiece: from the puppet workshop to the rainforest of Borneo that inspired it. Already presented in Geneva and Neuchâtel [+ chiffre de fréquentation si disponible], the exhibition is available for a new venue from February 2027.
This coming-of-age story follows on from my previous film: Ma vie de courgette. Like it, it originally combines the realism of a serious and profound social issue with a simple and colourful visual universe to give the film its poetic form.

CRAFT & TECHNOLOGY — Step into the stop-motion workshop: original puppets, sets, and the frame-by-frame magic behind the film.
AN ECOLOGICAL & HUMAN STORY — Discover the Penan people of Borneo and the real fight against deforestation that inspired Kéria and Selaï’s journey.
VISUAL POETRY — Experience Claude Barras’s signature universe, where a serious subject is told through colour, warmth, and wonder.
The 3 themes of the exhibition
The exhibition follows three threads which it weaves and intertwines, like three ingredients in the recipe that gives its incomparable flavour to the new film by Claude Barras: the mastery of technology serving an ecological and humanitarian cause bathed in unique poetry.
