Minable et sans intérêt

About This Series

The « Minable et sans intérêt » collection — the name translates roughly to "Pathetic and Pointless" — is where the Pagès Films team has stashed its most playful work since 2012. These are not client deliverables but internal experiments: festival entries, holiday gags, recruitment spoofs, and whatever else the crew felt like making.

The series ran actively from 2012 through 2016, with highlights including two consecutive entries in the Faire un film en 48h Lyon festival and the holiday parody Qui veut la peau du Père Noël ? It offers a candid look at the team's creative instincts when freed from briefs and brand guidelines.
