Cyprien Ponson

Cyprien Ponson left at 18 his countryside of Ardèche for Lyon to study anthropology, cinema and history. He then completed the CREADOC master’s degree of documentary creation in Angoulême.
In 2017, he co-directed BÉ’ JAM BÉ the Never Ending Song (85’) with Caroline Parietti. Their film was first screened at the swiss festival of Visions du Réel and then traveled to many festivals around the world. The film was an immersion into forest life with some of its inhabitants from the Penan communities in Borneo, struggling to preserve their land and very existence.
Filmmaker, gardener, editor, film programmer, or chicken farmer. Specializing in nothing, he does a little bit of everything. Back in his native Ardèche Cyprien cultivated From Here to the Apple Tree, his second feature film, which, in the vein of the previous one, looks with concern at the destruction of the lands and its beings.
