MOT DE LA RÉALISATRICE
The Races is a film that was shot in a context of a desire to share. After being overwhelmed by the world of racing, I felt an immense need to share this experience with the public. The goal was to have the impression, thanks to a camera inspired by the "direct cinema" style, of being part of the Prolon team and to have this proximity with the characters as if "we" were all an integral part of this team in its victories as in its defeats.
