Art/Literary - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama | | French term or phrase: aux baguettes | From the same passage as my last question:
Tout vu :
Attendons-nous à bouffer de la télé, mais pas vautré-tranquille-dans-l’canapé comme d’habitude… Au menu, 24 télés diffusant autant de programmes du monde entier triés sur le carreau. Aux baguettes, les quatre acteurs de Transquinquennal et Jan Hammenecker.
A ne pas zapper.
Thank you,
Karen |

| Note from asker to answererAll of these options are good, but I ended up using "directed by" because it seemed to fit best in this context. Actually I like "orchestrated by" best, but didn't see the suggestion until too late. Thanks for all your ideas. Karen
