Frédéric Alvarez :
In 2022, he collaborated for the first time with Emmanuelle Nicot for her feature film “Dalva” which is selected for Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival. The film will be released in theaters in 2023 March 22nd.

Early 2023 he finished working on 2 international features both supported by the CNC: French-Iranian “In the land of brothers” directed by Alireza Ghasemi and Raha Amirfazli (Sundance 2024) and Bhutanese-French-American « The monk and the gun » directed by Oscar nominee Pawo Choyning Dorji and nominated at Telluride and Toronto TIFF. He is currently working on Giovanni Aloi’s Netflix supported « Le domaine » and Korean-American horror movie, Kimbo Kim’s « Forte ».


The Monk And The Gun is directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji with Tandin Wangchuk, Harry Einhorn, Choeying Jatsho, Kelsang Choejey.

The Monk And The Gun captures the wonder and disruption as Bhutan becomes one of the world’s youngest democracies. Known throughout the world for its extraordinary beauty and its emphasis on Gross National Happiness, the remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan was the last nation to connect to the internet and television.
And if that weren’t enough change, the King announced shortly afterwards that he would cede his power to the people via their vote and a new form of government: Democracy.

An elderly lama (Kelsang Choejey), recognizing that extraordinary change is about to sweep through his country, is troubled by the possible outcomes. He instructs his young disciple Tashi (Tandin Wangchuk) to set forth into the kingdom and bring him two guns before the full moon to “set it right.”
The young monk is perplexed by his guru’s request, and his familiarity with guns is based solely on images from the only film available on television: James Bond.
His quest brings him into contact with a scheming American gun collector Ron (Harry Einhorn), leading to a most unexpected outcome.
