Cock-a-doodle Doo! Like every year, the International Emmy Awards, the prestigious awards ceremony that honors the best programs broadcast on television and streaming platforms around the world, took place this Monday, November 20, in the United States.
For this 51st edition, four French programs were launched. This was the case for Jonathan Cohen’s La Flamme (Canal+) in the “Best Comedy” category, the Infiniti (Canal+) prize for “Best TV Series or Film”, as welltime hotel (France 3) Thierry Ardison for “Best Entertainment”.
“We really didn’t plan it”
But only the French series Des gens bien ordinary (Canal+) returned from the winning ceremony, winning in the category “Best short fiction”. A blessing to its director Ovid, for whom it was the first series. Despite everything, he had a modest triumph: “Skip it, I won an Emmy”He responded last night, Tuesday, November 21, on the social network X, formerly Twitter.
In fact, Ovid still finds it difficult to realize As reported by our colleague from Le Parisienwho was able to interrogate him the day after the victory. “It gradually rises in the brain. We haven’t really thought about it.”The director explains.
This award is also a more personal victory. Often returning in the 2000s and relegated to his first career in porn, Ovidi has since ramped up his work. She has written several works and directed many documentaries, mostly about sexuality and its representations, all through a feminist prism. Ovid was also a researcher and columnist for various media. He currently teaches courses on documentaries at the University of Limoges.
“Deep down, there’s a part of me that tells me I deserve this prize! It’s been hard for me for twenty years anyway.says Ovid, still in Le Parisien. I often heard that I was not legal to do this job. For a long time I thought that it was not available to me. Over time, a little less, but this is a long time. In fact, I have my place as a director”he continues.
Filming for Season 2 has just wrapped
remind you Very ordinary people is a series that consists of eight episodes that last ten to fifteen minutes. It will be broadcast on Canal+ in 2022. The series takes place in the 1990s. It tells the story of Romain, an 18-year-old sociology student who dreams of changing the world. One day, Romain decides to drop out of college to go on the set of an X-rated movie, thinking he’ll find something to satisfy his desire for freedom, radicalism, and provocation. Except that Roman, trapped in a toxic romantic relationship with a woman who completely controls his life, goes from frustration to frustration: he encounters an environment that is much more banal than he thought.
A critique of conventional sexism and the fantasies surrounding the porn industry, which is part of a dystopian society in which gender relations between men and women are changing.
Jeremy Gillette’s leading series (Mito, A Serious Profession, Papa or Mama, The Series) has not ended the headlines: soon the second season will air on Canal+. “Last Thursday and Friday we finished shooting, I was on a plane to New York. My head is still on the set in Angoulême.”, defines Ovidie to Le Parisien. Very ordinary people, but everyday life, which at the moment is a little less for Ovid and his teams.
