Jour de Fête
Synopsis
*Jour de Fête* follows an inefficient and easily distracted French mailman who often pauses his deliveries to chat with locals and observe a traveling fair that has arrived in his small town. Inspired by excessive wine and a newsreel showcasing the fast mail delivery systems of the United States postal service, he takes amusing measures to accelerate his mail deliveries on his bicycle.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
