Not caught up by the culture of spectacle, poetry is neither sweet thing, nice, nor dream or escape. It refuses to disguise life to forget its severity, but explores it in its complexity, to better contemplate the unknown, an elsewhere in ourselves. To make our conscience autonomous, us free.

MERLIN Films develops and produces a cinema-kind trying to bring back this poetry. Revealing the real in its nuances in a vision freed from traditional narrative methods, to invite us to get back to ourselves rather than to distract us from ourselves ... In addition to the usual circuits, MERLIN Films also distributes by atypical channels these rarely shown films to reach every public.
We retain from Merlin the character widely spread. But he is also the one who is humbly to restore this link of harmony that humans have with the primordial forces. In the cinema, MERLIN therefore also exists in small confidential structure located in the mountains, managed by a filmmaker-Merlin the rider of the woods and most of the houses, for twenty years door-to-door like peddlers from yesteryear, to bring to the public another cinema and perspective.
