An independent art director, Marc Bruckert met Professor Choron in 1991 and took charge of the layout of the latter’s new newspaper Grodada. For Le Village, his production and graphic design company created in 1989 with Charles Petit, he co-wrote and co-directed many Oeil du Cyclone episodes (Canal+), including Les Très Riches Heures du Professeur Choron (1993, director: Vincent Hachet). Again with Professor Choron, he produced the series of short programmes Y’a rien de pire que l’ignorance, as well as his ‘autobiographical’ operetta Ivre-mort pour la patrie for Canal+. Marc Bruckert has also been the artistic director of the Étrange Festival in Paris since 1997.
