Notes
     Le Bel Esprit is directed by Frédéric Guelaff and features Adèle Haenel, Chloé Olivères, and Céline Sallette.
This is the first time (as far as I can see) that Adèle made a film with actress Céline Sallette. They will appear together later in their careers inthe feature films  L’Apollonide (2012) and Un Peuple Son Roi (2018). 

Céline Sallete was awarded the Romy Schneider Award in 2013 and Adèle won this award in 2015. In 2012 both actresses were nominated for the 'Best new Hope' (Best new actress) César Award for their performances in  L’Apollonide (2012).

There isn't much information out there about these early short films and no one mentions them in their filmography.
