Along with Pastourelle (Nathaniel Dorsky, USA) and Jan Villa (Natasha Mendonca, USA/India) Stardust by the Flemish artist and filmmaker Nicolas Provost received a Tiger Award for Short Film at the IFFR in Rotterdam.

Stardust is the second part of a trilogy in which Nicolas Provost investigates the boundaries of fiction and reality by filming everyday life with a hidden high resolution camera and turning the cinematic images into a fiction film by using cinematographic and narrative codes from the Hollywood film language.  

The first part of the trilogy was the award winning Plot Point (2007) that was shot entirely with a hidden camera and turned everyday life around Times Square in New York into a thriller film. 

Las Vegas 

This time Provost takes his hidden camera to Las Vegas in Stardust and uses the glorious and ambiguous power of the gambling capital to turn everyday life into an exciting crime story. In order to do this he even filmed real Hollywood stars such as Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson. 

The third part of the trilogy, which has been filmed in Tokyo, is currently in production. It follows the dark journey of a fictional serial killer, played by an actor, interacting with real people. 

Provost is also currently in production of his first feature film The Invader, a thriller about an anti-heroic African immigrant and his struggle for economic and emotional survival in the new world.
