Twitch links to this animated Beringer ad directed by Oliver Gondry, as evidence that the recently announced animated collaboration between Michel Gondry and his son is not “purely a case of nepotism and fatherly favor.” But I’m pretty sure Oliver Gondry is not Michel Gondry’s son, but his brother. My previous research suggested that the son working on the film is 16 year-old Paul Gondry; meanwhile, a search for “Oliver Gondry” turns up several references to the above time-lapse music video, which would seem to have some vague stylistic similarity to the Beringer ad, and which is alternately credited to “Oliver Gondry” and “The Gondry Brothers.” Am I wrong? If you’ve got any airtight info on the Gondry family tree, do pass it along.

Olivier has done a bunch of music videos and advertisements, and is Michel’s brother. He’s represented by Partizan (bio here). Assorted archived Olivier news here.
