Pascal Aubier, a renowned filmmaker, embarked on an intellectual journey by studying an impressive array of languages at the prestigious Ecole de Langues Orientales in Paris, specifically delving into the complexities of Russian, Chinese, Mongolian, Georgian, and Wahilu, a lesser-known language spoken in New Caledonia.
As an assistant director, Aubier had the privilege of working alongside the acclaimed French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard, contributing to the production of notable films such as "Bande à Part", "Le Mépris", "Pierrot le Fou", "Masculin Féminin", and "Weekend".
Aubier's directorial debut, "Valparaiso, Valparaiso", premiered in 1970, marking the beginning of a prolific career that has since yielded approximately forty short films. In 1976, he released his second feature-length film, "Le Chant du Depart", solidifying his reputation as a talented and dedicated filmmaker.
