ALL ABOUT US

The production company Tournez S’il Vous Plaît (TSVP) was founded in 2002 by two sisters, Christie and Agnès Molia.

We produce discovery and anthropology documentary series such as lands of women, 4x52' dedicated to matriarchal societies, or Rituals of the world, 15x26', about traditional societies worldwide (Arte). We have also produced the multi-award winning serie Archeological Investigations (30 x 26') of which 14 different episodes were selected in international archeological film festivals such as Rovereto, Arkaïos, Bidassoa, Bordeaux, Narbonne, Toulouse or Licodia Eubea. Two were winners in Rassegna : Crète, le mythe du Labyrinthe, (Premio Archeoclub d'Italia), and L'histoire oubliée des Swahilis (Mensione speziale CinemAmoRe).

Following the creation of Moteur S’il Vous Plaît (MSVP) in 2004, Christie and Agnès began producing full-length works of fiction. They produced Grown ups by Anna Novion, with Jean-Pierre Darroussin, selected at the International Critics' Week at Cannes (2008) and 8 times up by their brother Xabi Molia, starring Julie Gayet and Denis Podalydès, laureate at Tokyo in October 2009.

Twelve feature films have been produced, including Lost in Paris by Abel and Gordon in 2017, and their new film, The Shooting Star, released in early 2024.
