Kolia Litscher

Kolia's first role was in Place des Vosges (1991), directed by his mother, when he was barely a toddler. He later appeared in short films by Emma de Caunes, Michel Fehler, Joséphine Flasseur and Emmanuelle Bercot.

His sister Isild featured him in a role in her directorial deut, Demi-tarif (2004).^[1][2][3] It was screened at more than 50 film festivals and widely praised by film critics.^[4][5]

Le Besco also cast him in Charly (2006), her second film as writer and director,^[6][2][3] He played Nicolas, a rebellious teenager, alongside Julie-Marie Parmentier as his partner.^[2] Nicolas has been in foster care; he is so fascinated by a postcard of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, that he runs away to try to reach it. As he hitchhikes to the suburbs of Nantes, he meets Charly, a young girl living in a caravan and surviving by prostitution.^[7]

Variety wrote that "Litscher is just this side of being as bored as his character."^[4]
