Louise Mercadier

Louise Mercadier studied social science at Paris I University and sculpture and animation at the beaux-arts ateliers in Paris. After her studies, she became interested in animated films in stop-motion, together with Frédéric Even. Fascinated by this technique, they decided to make their first self-produced animated short film, Metamorphosis, a free adaptation of Kafka’s short story. The film was very successful at festivals. They then wrote the script for a second stop-motion animated short film: Sororelle. Louise also leads audio-visual initiation workshops. For example, she has led  workshops at migrant workers’ homes in Paris for a year, and created an animated film with children hospitalized in three European hospitals. Sororelle is her first professional film.
