TRAILER
Writer-director, originally from northern France, she began her career in education. After a year of training at the audiovisual centre of the ENS Saint-Cloud, she turned to documentary filmmaking in 1980. She started out as an assistant, co-writer or production manager, before directing her own films.
Drawn to social and human realities as much as to “good stories”, she films mainly in France, but also in Morocco, Senegal and Benin. At Local Films, she directed three documentaries: Salâm Irénée ! (2000), Sur les murs… Peintres-poètes de Paris (1999) and Au bonheur des planches (2003). She also directed Nokoué-Grand Lieu, les lacs frères (1999), Ousmane Sow, sculpteur d’Afriques and Baaba Maal, l’enfant du Fouta. She is also an author: La ville à prendre (Patrick Brunie, 1979), Audiovisuel et Mouvement ouvrier (1985), the tale Céleste et l’arc-en-ciel (2010) and three poems in the collection L’ancre (2019).
