Director's Works
Yves Salomon, Rocketman Valentin Savin, Katerina Lagoda
Valentin Savin and Katerina Lagoda are a Paris-based directing duo working across cinematic branded films and narrative projects.
Their work is driven by a strong interest in movement, physicality and visual metaphor, often blurring the boundary between fashion film and short cinema.
Rocketman is a cinematic Christmas tale built around the idea of delivery — not only of gifts, but of wonder and imagination.
The film follows two heroes as their journey unfolds between reality and a handcrafted pop-up world, where rockets orbit planets and presents are delivered by parachute.
Live-action sequences intertwine with stop-motion and miniature storytelling, creating a playful dialogue between scale, time and perspective.
Conceived with a sense of humor and affection, the film embraces a distinctive visual language filled with subtle homages to classic cinema, while maintaining its own recognizable style.
At its core, Rocketman is a story about craftsmanship, fantasy and the joy of giving.
