Panneau fin du monde - Documentation des marges de la réalité Portrait avec masque - La Jetée Films

At La Jetée Films, cinema is a tool for memory, social justice and reflection. We are interested in telling stories that challenge us, that make us think and that invite us to act. Documentary is a genre that allows us to explore reality in a deep and poetic way.

The Story of Lidia Martín Merino

Founded by Lidia Martín Merino, filmmaker and documentary maker. The fields of exploration of La Jetée Films articulate sensitive narratives that challenge compression in the face of the absurdity of the world. La Jetée films wishes to offer questions, rather than answers. Pay attention to the trivialization of historical events of the past as an expression of a drift in the present.

Our Core Values

La Jetée Films has a point, whether the creative documentary serves powerful content, attempts to promote the artist's themes as fundamental elements of a historical, social, aesthetic and political engagement. The expression “post-truth” is absent from our professional vocabulary.

Our background includes producing feature films, short films and exhibitions.

Our desire revolves around a common axis, that of offering the public an artistic perspective which shows that our society deserves to be changed. A quality film, with an interesting narrative, can forge better human quality.

In this capitalist world where famine and wars force people to move and many of them are persecuted, it is possible that some of them are wrong, but it is certain that all of their persecutors are wrong.
