Detective Gallimard

Set in New York, this animated short follows a man who believes he is an anthropomorphic goat named Detective Gallimard. While he imagines himself solving a murder case, he is actually a local eccentric in a bathrobe whose delusional quest causes frustration for everyone he meets. The story blurs the line between a noir mystery and a farce, focusing on the gap between the character's perception and reality.

Produced by ESMA in France, the film was directed by Asensi Valentin and released on September 4, 2024. The production features a voice cast including Emmanuel Curtil, who provides the voice for Gallimard, alongside Véronique Augereau as Pipa, Alexis Tomassian as Léon, and Serge Faliu, who voices both Spike and Cochon. The film has a total runtime of six minutes.
